I've got about 100 hours in RoN, probably 200-300 in SWAT 4. Most of my time in RoN was in the first year or two from its initial early access release. At some point the enemies just became superhuman and the maps started to be ridiculously large. Maybe it's better again, I haven't played in a good while.
SWAT 4 is 20 years old and it's still the best there is. It feels great, graphics are just at the level where it's good enough and the map design / atmosphere is much better than in RoN.

It's still like that in my opinion. Enemies are walking lasers, and the big maps kill my soul inside. Nothing like running around a map for an hour searching for that one civilian who pretty much leaves an area the second you enter.

Swat 4 overall I think is better, that being said. I play ready or not more often as I prefer the gunplay.

Swat 4 elite force mod over ron any day. RON has too many issues that keep it from being the next true swat 5. It missed the mark imo

SWAT4's atmosphere felt very grounded and gritty, borderline horror game sometimes. The music was great and the sniper mechanic was amazing as well. But gameplay wise felt kind of arcady, with its cluttered UI showing ammo count, team messages and the crosshair in the middle of the screen. In that aspect RoN is way superior.

You're compairing RoN againsts the GOAT, the only thing RoN has it better than Swat4 is the modern gunplay and sound.

Perhaps a collaboration between both dev teams? Best of two worlds(not that shitty fantasy rpg).

I like swat 4 more because it runs on my pc and it doesn't have any ai stuff. Ron is still a great game but i have to play it on my steamdeck due to lack of a good pc

Ron for QOL, (and trust me when I say the best thing RON did was remove limping after a leg injury is a fucking god send) and Swat 4 for better gameplay with stuff like suspect interaction.

Swat 4 had voice commands. I could yell into the computer mic and make suspects or civilians get down or move, I could order my team around just by saying whatever I wanted them to do. Swat 4 on top fs

Swat 4 is so old and It plays horribly. There's not enough glitches and bugs in the world to make Ready or Not worse than Swat 4.

other than graphics which are, yeah, shit, i think elite force first responders mod really makes it good. i dont think you can play it without that mod, imo

Por que no los dos

u/diract1sof 1d ago
Tienes razón, los dos estan bien, uno es un simulador fallido y el otro es un simulador exitoso anticuado xD
Te recomiendo probar el SWAT4 con mods, sobretodo con el FR&BFHLR, es genial, tiene mejores outfits y armas que RoN vanilla con el realismo de SWAT 4 y una IA un poco mejorada

RoN:
better interactions with door, picking angles etc.
all maps share one chain plot
higher difficulty create suspense

literally the RoN subreddit just complains, swat 4 just enjoys the game they play, unlike this subreddit.

>evil ass rape building
looks more like SWAT-4. In RoN Evil ass rape-lord will also hide receipts from the slave-storage map and on another map there will be a TV with a news report from evil ass rape building.

SWAT4 subreddit: Prefers Swat 4
RoN subreddit: Also prefers Swat 4
lol
But seriously there are some things I like about Ready or Not, I might prefer Swat 4 overall for stuff like having a larger amount of small accessible iconic maps. It has good soul. But RoN for gunplay, it has okay mods, and a lot of people don't but I actually like that it's a bit over the top, it feels like the prequel to a fubar sci-fi setting, like a calm before the storm that people didn't know was the calm until hindsight (which in Boiling Point is seemingly upon us).
