Clearing the Most Disturbing Map in Ready or Not

[@Zellie1994]

I like that as you descend deeper into the house the floors get more and more creepy. There is no dialogue or cutscenes. Just traversing the level tells you all you need to know. The occupation of the home owner matches the crime as well. Great story telling from good level design. Edit: I just want to take a moment to thank God, my mom, and those who supported me during my journey to receive these likes. I dedicate these likes to end world hunger.

[@nlrenzo9432]

Imagine what real life special unit officers go trough in situations like these.

[@sigmaoperator1688]

the 2nd floor is fine, 1st floor has a bunch of weird art, ground floor has a cinema room with porn playing in it, outside is a breath of fresh air (literally), and the basement is why I didn't make a video on this map.

[@odyssey.studios]

The film that this map design inspiration comes from is called Hard Candy, featuring Elliott (Ellen) Page, it’s very disturbing but actually a decent film.

[@T3MUwU]

@@odyssey.studios I remember watching that film over a decade ago, great flick.

[@meerbee2910]

In the whitebox version of the map there was sex audio coming from a wall, with no doors or anything

[@portalfreak7628]

6:39 I love how the players are roleplaying as actual SWAT members, taking orders and announcing when they're gonna do something tactical like real SWAT guys would do, but then suddenly one of the players kicks the door by accident and goes "Well _that's_ not what I wanted."

[@NewEnglandboy453]

Except these guys ARE real professionals.

[@Fizcakesprite]

They are doing that because. THAT'S WHAT TEAMWORK IS, THIS GAME IS LIKE ULTRA HARD, YOU NEED TO HAVE GOOD TEAMWORK.

[@Thamb0]

One thing I really hope they work on in the future is making the AI doing more believable things. So for instance, when you go into a room and the AI is unaware that you are there, maybe you caught them on the computer, grabbing food out of the fridge, or sleeping in bed, etc. Then if the AI knows you are in the vicinity, it would be nice if they acted accordingly, like the private guards might actually try to barricade or counter assault your team, the inexperienced shooters might try and hide or shoot around corners without looking. Maybe the civvies will be on their phones trying to call for help, or screaming on the ground, the list goes on. It's asking a lot, but the dev team seems like they're doing a phenomenal job and having more realistic AI encounters seems like the next step to make this game stand out far beyond a lot of shooters. Oh, BTW great vid Karma!

[@GremlinHunter]

Thats what the next "big update" does from what the devs said. It's to add more "storytelling" to the maps via AI interactions with the map. Enemy AI will hide, perform random tasks, and will "play dead" in some instances. Also suicide is a feature if the morale of a criminal is stupidly low and they even said themselves "yelling for compliance" could startle them.

[@Thamb0]

@@GremlinHunter That's awesome! Thank you for sharing.

[@dadeee7776]

but also have maps where well like this one there would be cameras around and many should know some swat or whatever are rocking up and they know they most likely won’t come out of this alive

[@GremlinHunter]

@@dadeee7776 Honestly I'd like to see maps where CCTV plays a factor and the bad guy will construct makeshift barricades to block doors and will "lay ambushes" and use grenades. Put rugs under the doors so snake cams can't see under. Cell phone bombs so you can't just "bypass" it like a regular tripwire. I mean there's a lot of shit they could add to make the AI scary effective if they are ex-military like the hotel mission. I'd also like to see timed "executions" of hostages with a "negotiator" type mission where most of the "unneeeded" civvies are dead and all the civvies still alive are crammed into one room and for every 10 minutes they shoot one unless "demands are met" (they totally wont because we don't negotiate with terrorists lol) Then one feature from SWAT 4 that needs to make a comeback is the sniper teams in adjacent buildings. Though it would be cool for the player characters to elect that role before a mission. It would add another layer of realism and tactical playstyle (and the terrorists if they are stupidly advanced should have snipers too). Lastly I think there should be "escape plans" for the terrorists so if they find out your coming and you drop the ball they can bail out and flee to like a van or "getaway vic" parked outside the map. So it incentivizes you to cover the entrances or use door blockers.

[@damiandimessor]

Very well could be on the way. I know one thing that civvies do when they are in the presence of gunfire is they'll try and point to where the suspect is for the player to neutralize. Small details like that make this game so much more interesting. Love those ideas.

[@XxRedemMEr]

Hey man! Current police officer here. I’m impressed with your tactics and room clearing. At my department, we’re trained in room clearing scenarios for possible incidents where we have to clear a building. In my city, it’s far too common to clear. We have a Special Response Team (SRT) who specializes in room clearing, active shooters, hostage situations, etc. Regardless, every one of our officers are trained in room and building clearing. Good job to you and your buddies. Communication and keeping your cool is absolute key in clearing a building when there may possibly be an armed subject(s) inside. You’re no good to anyone if you’re panicking or all over the place. As soon as you hear shots you better start moving, reacting, and neutralize the threat. Levels like this are unfortunately reality. Haven’t purchased the game yet and was curious about it. Just recently built my first computer, this game being one of the sole reasons why, and will be purchasing this soon! You earned my sub man! Keep it up!

@@OVOgooner To be honest, this is one of the reasons why single player/story-based game playable characters should be less characterized as a separate person, and feel more like the player themselves. I have to admit, games do have their powerful and emotional scenes, but when you’re playing a character that is a different person than you, it sometimes takes its essence away, because it feels more like the character is experiencing it, not you. However, when the playable character feels like the player themselves, the more tense, powerful, and emotional scenes have much more weight, because it truly feels like you are experiencing it yourself.

[@alex-sm6zh]

@@dude9318Thing about the news is that you don’t really visualize what the individuals and LEOs involve experience. Yes, it tells you the facts and statistics of a particular event (example: “Five restaurant employees killed in robbery attempt: police arrested 2 suspects”. ) Although people with enough analytical capabilities could imagine what happened and how it went down, you can’t really visualize the actual fear, stress and adrenaline; Ready or Not does exactly that. In ready or not, you step into the body of a SWAT team leader who is faced with not only executing the mission, but also leading/directing and planning the mission. You select the people you want for the mission (as you can select officers with certain skills) and assign their gear to them, which you have to choose wisely for each individual mission. You have to make sure you keep the morale up and finish the mission successfully and with minimal casualties, as this can inflict the overall happiness and combat effectiveness of your officers. It’s not like any fast-paced shooter game; everything is slow. You don’t sprint, because realistically a SWAT officer wouldn’t just “jump into the room and spray and pray” like in Call of Duty. It also makes it more intense, as this makes it harder to pull away from being engaged in a firefight once you entered it. You have to clear rooms carefully, make split second decisions on whether someone is considered a dangerous, non-compliant suspect -if they even are a suspect, and not a victim (for example:) put in a suspect’s outfit. Whenever you are shot at from a distance, your screen will fade a little from the adrenaline and your gun will start to shake while shooting back. If you are shot, you can’t regenerate health. You have to go to cover to stop your bleeding. Even then, the wound is permanent. Each shot you fire is impactful. The recoil, the loud echoing shot, the impact on a suspect as he screams in agony from being shot, it all makes the player realize that he is using a dangerous weapon in the game. Next to that, you have to carefully count your ammo and try to maximize the use on one magazine, as you have an amount per magazine. The details in the game are over the top, as they want you to really see and feel what a SWAT officer would likely feel. The disturbing image of victims killed by the suspects. You can even listen to the 911 calls from victims during briefings before the missions starts. Although the game of course does not make you an actual SWAT officer, as that requires a lot of physical and mental training, it sure gives you the realistic perspective of being one.

Also. Speaking of Uvalde, I recommend watching Donut Operator's breakdown of the hearing by the state supervisor. Details came out and it looks really bad for the police chief involved and on scene. Short version, multiple officers tried to say they needed to go in but the chief said "no we need to wait" because his brain said this was "a barricaded suspect," which it wasnt, it was someone who was actively shooting. The guy held his officers back, not that it clears the officers either--sometimes you should just know a bad call. Bad leadership above all, and the training needs work for sure.

This is the greatest spiritual successor to SWAT4 I have ever seen, and it will go down in videogame history. It's these kinds of realistic situations that make tactical "SWAT-likes" all the better.

It will be cool if they add muzzle brake shake effect to surrounding players and physical objects in tight CQB spaces. Imagine firing next to a wall with a brake, and knocks picture frame off the wall. That way players have to choose muzzle devices more appropriately based on the map.
