Big day, my bros. This is the first mission in Commander Mode. My intent was to start an Ironman Save and make this a series. Unfortunately, I selected 'New Game' rather than Single Player>New Game> Ironman. So alas, this video is actually a normal Commander mission. I will however be starting the Ironman mode tonight and picking up on mission 2.

damn it's so much more immersive. They actually feel like real people with the new voice lines and stuff.

Everything feels so fresh and reworked now! I love it!

Couldn’t be happier for them. I spent the $150 in 2019 for the pre pre alpha. You’ll be seeing “Thedarkdade” in the game credits. So proud of the devs and for standing der ground.

Them boys are setting the bar WAY too high for indie devs lol. Absolutely incredible.

This game looks completly different from what i've played half a year ago....holy crap

I CAN"T wait. MY GOSH. I legit NEVER thought this would happen. Ok thats a bit dramatic. But I figured it'd be YEARS out with how slow things were going. But CLEARLY they were HARD at work. This is INCREDIBLE.

When they said they added 18,000+ voice lines, me and several others were like "hahaha, yeah sure there is..." But, after playing it today, I totally believe that now!

It's insane how this game evolved. I remember that old pvp matches years ago with nothing in common with swat 4. Happy that they could reverse that situation.

16:01 that dynamic movement felt so good. It felt like you could really trust him to be covering those angles so you could look another direction. Please do more of this

That cardboard cutout got me at the start I was thinking that dude is super dumb to be standing there while his friend is on his knees. 😅

"capable hands" To quote the great general Zap Branniagan "when I'm in command every mission is a suicide mission!"

I wish you had dived deeper into the attributes for the officers, looking forward to see how much those affect the gameplay!

Launch day was actually 2am on a thursday for me. Needless to say, I did not regret losing sleep just to play this for a measly couple of hours before I had to immediately rush to the office and I look forward to playing it again as soon as I arrive home later today. Void did a marvelous job with the swat AI. It is everything I have wished for ever since I started playing Raven Shield as a kid decades ago.

This is where the fun begins.

I finished the first mission, it was good. They changed the voice actors as well.

Playing this campaign on iron mode. It answers the IRL question real fast of, "Why didn't you just shoot him in the leg."

Love your gameplay. The AI in my level shoot through walls and fake surrender, pulling knives on my officers. Brutal and unpredictable. The second level was nuts too.

This looks amazing! I've been waiting for a game like this since the old days of rainbow six and ghost recon. The briefing screens are so nostalgic lol.

Can’t wait for the rest of the series!! Your channel was made for this

That mule kick to the door was beautifully animated!

I was waiting for EXACTLY this. Ever since SWAT 4 and even Rainbow Six Vegas 2. This is so awesome, I can't wait to finally play this for myself.

There are a few QoL things that if void could patch in by the next update it would be great: first things first it would be great to have the character automatically return to low ready or high ready when you release the ADS button like in ground branch cause it kinda gets tedious after a while where you have to press anything to return to high/low ready, after that it would be adding a dark mode for the apps on your chest rig tablet cause every time you open it you’ll get flash banged and lastly even though the police station is a great area to roam around it’d be cool to have the option to load into a campaign mission straight from the main menu but return to the police station for evaluation after each mission

One thing I noticed before, which seems to be the case still hard to tell, is being able to tell who red is vs blue lol. Itd be nice if they had an indicator on them, maybe an option to turn off an on. Like red and blue patches on the back of the headgear or something. Othwrwise, looking forward to playing it tonight. I havent played in a while.

i was waiting on this one and now that they have a real campaign with stakes I am sold. I loved SWAT 4 and this really feels like the game we all would want as a SWAT 5.

Looking forward to this series! Best of luck I really hope you get through first try.

Loved every single second of this, it's a real treat watching you work that squad CPG, great work. Looking forward to more 🔥

I love how when he told the ai to clear the first hallway from the side entrance the ai cleared and then one of them pied around the corner to the second room that was open

Tension ramped up! Love this. Way to work through the problem. Damn good vid! Cheers!

Amazing! After playing I came right here to see what you had to say about the current build. Even if you die, it would be nice to see a continued story.

Looking great going to have to jump back into it now !

Classic example of how a plan only works until first contact with the enemy... But very well planned, using wedges to control the environment, mirrors under the doors and so on... Well done 🤘🏻

Definitely keep going with the series! I'm a big fan of these types of games since the OG Rainbow Six and SWAT series, but I play mostly SP. Have been waiting to see this kind of SP/Campaign content to decide if it's worth pulling the trigger on. Btw, found your channel through DK2 content, which I love cause it scratches that itch from the planning mode of the first R6 games. Naturally, when I found the mod Nexus for it first thing I did was download the R6 squad :D

Dude. This was like watching you play DK in 4K FPV. Holy shit. I cannot wait to see more.

Man that phone call, im nearly cry when hearing his voice, really appreciate their work, so immersive

Watched this with coffee and glazed donuts and this was awesome. Also experienced nostalgia of me, as a kid in 2004 first reading about SWAT 4 in the magazine, much later be able to play it myself. I poured a lot of hours in this game. Definitely will buy Ready or not for holidays as a gift to myself. Sorry that not through your website - here in Russia it's really hard to pay in western part of internet now.

Pretty dope gameplay man. Good tactics as well. The classic 'flash off the homies head' was legit 😂😂

Got yourself a new sub! This is great!

I really like the next mission when you SWAT the streamers house lol - except it's actually a legit SWATing.

I kept telling myself I wouldn’t watch any new RoN gameplay until after I got off work and got to play the new update. Needless to say I’m still at work and watching this video.

Love the move where u bounced a flashbang off your own guys helmet into the room lol

So excited to watch you playing this through, although i wont watch missions I've not played yet! The game is in an incredible place now. So much better than before the update. It is pretty much fully realized now! Did you notice the dead civilian in the restaurant next to the dog is labelled as "Deceased veteran"? His CCW is next to him. Poor guy clearly tried his best. My run ended on mission 3 when I got one shot in the head whilst ascending some stairs. Shows how easily it can all go wrong!

I have heard about this game a lot before and kinda knew what it was but never bothered to look into it before release, looks really cool!

just got done playing for a while this is the biggest jump in quality for this game in years, even more amazing then it was.

This game looks incredible, will defiantly keep up with this playthrough!

I finished twisted nerve without casualties but me and my squad need some cozy blankets and ice cream now. Great update!

Can't wait to see more of this!

Absolutely love the tactics, debrief and execution. Loving your content! I'd love to see you do another one but with the background in-game music off to give more of an immersive feel please! Again love the content, keep it up!

Just a note there is a muzzle up option now also not sure if you can do both muzzle down and up or if you have to pick in the settings or something

The soundtrack for this mission was sick. Looking forward to the next episode.

very dope looking forward to more of this

The ultimate game would be the FPS engine from this game combined with the planning and tactical stuff from Door Kickers 2.

I just built my first PC and was wondering if this game would be worth it, but now that it’s fully released i’ll definitely be getting it

I love the casual conversation between operators. It truly feels like your close to those guys, i would dread playing the game and losing one 🫡 props to the dev team they really went all out.

This looks so sick. I've only got a Series X so I only ever get to watch videos of a lot of these tactical shooters, if this ever comes to console I'll die happy

The gun sounds are so nice with the immersion of the ai now, good job on them

Hey man, I have loved your stuff for years and you and this game were some of the main reasons I got a PC. I was just wondering if you could make the ironman playthrough it's own playlist?

PLEASE MAKE THIS A FULL SERIES! I LOVE IT!

This is so exciting!

I’m so happy. It made being a supporter edition holder all the more worth it. I’m happiest with the team AI. I don’t have to micro manage EVERYTHING they do now. Stellar development jump

I got the game last year and never really played it. Started commander mode yesterday and really like it! Just need to figure out how to keep my team from getting anxious and/or stressed.

I'm so impressed and even more so PROUD of the devs. The SWAT AI feel so real instead of being mindless computers with human bodies that follow you because a program says so. The voice lines, movement and overall tactics like holding their gun on a door when moving is such wonderful details. The issue of Suspect AI being unrealistic in some cases and also having Aimbot later on in the harder levels is still here, but I'm certain the devs will really feel the wonderful emotion that is progress and feedback from a happy community and use it to work hard on the game for very long.

Man I have to try this game soon, this looks sick.

>detrimental effect on their mental state It's not a Swat 5. This is Darkest Dungeon 3 now.

Damn! The game is out and I am traveling for work! Keep the videos coming! I need to quench my thirst!

Watching this reminds me so much of Socom. I just googled and found out you can use voice commands with the game too. Once my backlog is cleared up, I'm definitely gonna pick this up.

Love the new AI, feels like 3D doorkickers 😂 would love to see a video maybe on how you decide to handle stacks and other tactics as well as reasons behind them.

THANK YOU FOR THIS! I want this game so bad. Huge fan of realistic tactical shooters, but all my friends are CS players so was wondering how the team AI is. Good to see someone playing solo to help with my decision :D

This is Wild🔥

Fucking chills bro. This game has come such a long way 🤘

5:01 it’s super cool that they have suspect bios

This game is absolutely incredible now. It really seems that, at last, we have a true successor to SWAT4.

My squad on ironman got so anxious after gas station and their anxiousness developed fps drops as aside effect.

I do this in real life and I gotta say I’m impressed how accurate this is. The team actually has brains and flows like a real team and not just idiots waiting to get shot

Ready or not 1.0 has been incredible for me so far. The devs have put the bar incredibly high for a indie game.

The background sound (hand drumming in something) is Bodies - Drowning Pool

Sad that the supressed 300 BO isnt silent as it is in real life. One of the only workable calibers that can also be "hollywood quiet"

Lots of good stuff about the update, currently though the AI will often get themselves killed in an attempt to auto secure suspects, walking into the open to do so

Best thing about this update is the vending machine in the briefing room.

IDK if you saw but you should look at the unlock requirements for the Gold watch in the character customizations since you're already doing the Ironman run

think it would be great if you could have a rotation of officers like in doorkickers 2 where you have a whole unit, but just tone it down to 6 or 8 officers in total that you can swap in or out to replace dead guys or give stressed officers a break

Ironman should blow up your gaming rig, too. Makes it much more realistic.

Wooow, I'm getting goosebumps 🤩

If you press the "Z" key (if you have it bound correctly. It basically is a quick action for the team that is currently free. Eg I would set Blue to cover in one area. And then to clear the rooms around this area I would use the z command (which in this case would only use Red team) this allows for quicker action and clearing when needed. I would recommend you play around with it as it could help in some cases and it bypasses a lot of the faffing with the Menu system. You can also use this "Z" key to get the AI to handcuffs people and so on. P.S. really good videos. Thank you for sharing your knowledge on tactics, very interesting.

As someone who grew up with swat 4, I absolutely love Ready or not, the atmosphere, sound design, immersion, everything is so perfect, the AI is incredibly intelligent and reliable for everything, I feel extremely connected to them and responsible for them when they get injured or incapacitated

Yes, this game will finally give us the Swat 5 we were waiting for 👍

NGL, I thought he was playing with players at first. good job, void!

6 min into the video and I'm definitely gonna play this update ASAP & try the ironman

I’m very glad the taser was moved to a different slot so you can have both a taser and a handgun.

Dude i remember when you had like 10k subs… now look at you 🔥

That’s it , ladies and gentelmen! We now have in our hands SWAT-5. A long awaited sequel. Perfection

It's been great! There are definitely a few minor bugs currently, but nothing too major. I played pretty well all the way through until Mindjot. Damn, I hate that map. Took me like 12 tries. Finally got through it and now I'm ready for bed. What an upgrade though.

Truly a banger! Loving this game!

the ost is horrifying in the best way -a musician

Dude ironman campaign sounds like a good idea

Looking forward to finishing work today so I can get on it :)

Wait you're telling me games actually get released in the final versions now, wild concept

Lets GO!

nice video! quick question, how did you disable the information about the points you get when taking suspects into custody, or reporting stuff? I find that much more realistic. I changed that when i ads, the screen wont zoom in because it feels much more immersive and without these points informations it would be much more immersive imo.

Lots of potential!
