The Spoony Experiment

Let’s Play SWAT 4 – Mission #11: I Die A Lot

by Spoony on August 5, 2009 · View Comments

A crazed militia seizes the top floors of a major hotel and plants explosives all over the place! It’s the SWAT team’s deadliest mission yet! Will Lieutenant Spoony be up to the challenge? Or did the title spoil it for you?

    About the bathrooms -- if you mirror under the door to check if he is there, he cant open the door, and if he is there, place your own C2 charge. The door doesn't have to be locked, and it will either stun, incapacitate, or kill the guy inside without docking your points.

    Awesome Let's play can't wait for the next two missions.

    If you switch the M4 or any Gun that fires bullets to FMJ rounds you can kill the armoured terrorists faster and shoot through doors

    While I love watching Spoony running and gunning, in this game it's simply stupid. I know it's frustrating having to move so
    f*cking slow to keep your aim, but anyone who's tried it in real life knows that it's virtually impossible to have decent accuracy.

    Using the tactical (read boring) method I got through this level on the third try, and without losing any squad members.

    The lower floor is very forgiving since the enemies don't move around that much.
    Taking out the few that are usually wandering about the corridor is first priority. After that it's simply a matter of playing it silent and use the wand and flashbangs. Using the wands to watch around corners is extremely useful here.

    On the top floor there is no time for wands, but rushing isn't necessary. Simply order your squad to disable the bombs whenever you spot one, walk slowly to keep your aim and you should be fine.

    To top off the tips: Always let your squad do the restraining. It may not be much faster (unless you have multiple unrestrained people in an area) but you don't leave your tender neck and fragile head unprotected for wandering suspects.

    I wouldn't keep playing either.

    Has spoony forgotten this series? I love this one, it is my second favorite of his lets plays, the first being phantasmagoria. It has been two months since a new one. Either way, it was still hilarious.

    I really loved these review and i bought the game myself and i kinda liked swat4 its not like all the other shooters ive played good job spoony
  • Paul
    You must have forgotten about the breaching charges Spoony... Great video nonetheless.
  • FloodEater
    Mt.Threshold and Medical Center? I guess they are too hard for Spoony. Will take at least 100 times for him to get through :)
  • melgar
    spoony where are the rest of the missions?
  • Matt
    I guess about 20 deaths but 59 is a lot more than I thought there would be. Thank god I never got the game.
  • zingzangspillip
    Love your SWAT 4 reviews, Spoony! Easily my favourite reviews of yours.

    So, what are the chances of more? Is the game simply too infuriating?
  • Tobias Perschon
    omg, I saw your keyboard and looked in front of me and thought, "ok same keyboard"...
    then I recognised your mouse and thought, "damn I have the same gear as you"
    so I started looking what else you might have and oh shit you also have the same logitech webcam on your monitor ;)

    love your stuff, keep it up :)

    If you use C2 on the bathrooom door it will "incapacitate" the suspect without penalties.
  • FloodEater
    Hmm, no offense but... Spoony, you really suck. My grandfather plays SWAT better than you.

    Ok, that isn't the easiest mission at all. It took my 2 tries, but still... 59? What the fuck man.
  • JR14
    shut up dude maby your a prodige but this level is friggen hard! its taken me almost 10 tries already and i still havent beaten it
  • Bekefel
    I'm playing through this game and now I'm really not looking forward to this level. Great Lets Play though, keep it up.
  • hahaha... "FUCK YOU GUYS TOO"
  • Dude
    Try using the beanbags, you can fire them whenever you want, not wait until they shoot at you
  • Van
    nice videos
    it would be cool play in online whit co-op

    There's an easy way to take-out thugs in bathrooms.

    Step 1: Place a charge on the door yourself. Even if it's unlocked.
    Step 2: Get your team and your ass away from the door.
    Step 3: Blow the door open.
    Step 4: Use whatever means you prefer to assault the now-unprotected hostile. Grenades work wonders.
  • marcolino
    hey spoony!!
    are you planning on doing the expansion?
  • Krait
    Very funny video! I have watched this at least ten times, heh.

    Few tips though how to avoid "musical montages":

    1. Use german G36 instead of M4. Mostly because it has burst, while M4 only auto or semi. MP5 is also accurate and compact.

    2. Crouch and lean. Don't run around corners.

    3. Use C2 for small rooms, like bathrooms. And pick the locks, if you want to get stealthy advantage.

    4. Taser is really handy, when it comes to close combat and tight corners. When you see suspect camping behind obstacle, equip taser and surprise him. If you just shout, you have to wait for his reaction, which will probably cause your death. I mean they draw really fast.

    5. Use optiwand for every door and even corners. It may take time but it will save your ass.

    6. Open the doors from side.

    7. Pointing the door and ordering "deploy cs/flash/sting" is useful, when you want team to throw grenade in, but stay in cover.

    8. When suspects don't have masks (they have in Red Library and DuPlessis), you really want to use gas. It is probably the most effective nade. Good range (fills the whole room) and the affect takes long.

    9. Use sniper support. It is authorized.

    59? Dang, I guessed 53...


    Anyways, I was wondering if tazing would have been a good strategy on the bathroom guys.
  • tk2000
    They are extremely hard if you try to do the whole Use pepper ball guns and beanbag shotties I hate not being able to blast away with my magnum.
  • toddiwod
    I was hoping the same thing. I just finished it myself a couple of days ago. It's not quite as long as the original game, but the levels are a bit harder I think.
  • tk2000
    I do hope we get to see some spoony Swat 4 expansion action.
  • kernelPANIC
    Attempt #49 cracked me up:
    "DIE! DIE! DIE YOU FUCKER!"
    Then Spoony loses it and kills his SWAT team:
    "FUCK YOU GUYS TOO!"

    Great stuff Spoony. Hopefully we'll see more "Let's play" of SWAT 4. You made me pick up this game and learn about true frustration through failing a mission by 1 point due to unauthorized use of force...
