Anyone here still playing SWAT 4 and its expansion pack The Stetchkov Syndicate? 
After finally fixing an audio card crackling problem on my older PC that's kept me from playing PC games for a while (I recently found my USB based headset/mic that I had previously stored away), I started playing this game again. And not a moment too soon, as I've once again found (this time on my PS3) that the only type of game I just can't play with a controller is the FPS, so thank goodness that I once again have my keyboard & mouse available for gaming.
However, it's somewhat bittersweet that aside from some more recent handheld and mobile phone versions, with the closing of Sierra this game seems to be the last of its series, one that dates back over twenty years when it was the Police Quest series (before it morphed into the SWAT series). Along with how many features were dropped in the Rainbow Six series after Raven Shield and its expansions in favor of more a run'n'gun style, where have all the truly tactical-based FPS's gone?
