What will there be to do in the prologue?

  • Silence of the Hansons – You can face the challenges of the game's first mission. As the SWAT team's member, you get to investigate a gloomy house that serves as a hideout for a gang of kidnapping fanatics.
  • Numerous gameplay features – ...such as equipment customization, mission objectives, various tactical orders, or a scoring system to measure your performance in the mission.
  • Co-op 'and' single player – Tackle the first mission in single player as you issue commands to AI-controlled SWAT operatives or join up to 4 other people in co-op mode and work together to complete your objectives.
