Swat 4 ( couple of questions)
 

Hi ppl. This is the next game i want to purchase (swat 4). After looking on CD-mediaworld it states its protected with "secuROM new". Has anyone here backed up Swat 4. (UK original shop version, not a D/L version). If so i would like to know if the UK version is also protected with "secuROM new" and if its also CD-ROM or DVD and im intrested to know which software was choosen to back it up ?(Nero,clone,alcohol etc). Before i buy a game i like to know if im going to be able to back it up etc. (I have children, I have learnt an expencive lesson in the past). Thanks.

SWAT is protected with SecuROM v5 as stated on GCW.
I am not aware if anyone has succesfully made an 1:1 copy of SWAT4. However it is possible making a backup using the NoCD on GCW.
I can not make an 1:1 copy as my NEC 2510A can't handle it.

Thats easily done, copy all files from the CD's to your HDD and add the NoCD into the folder where you copied the files.
If you feel like you can make a DVD version while you're at it. :)
Check out how to do that here that in the CD2DVD thread here on the forum.

If anyone has made any succesful 1:1 backup on this one, please write here and help him out.

Thanx for the speedy reply. I have sucsesfully made 1.1 back-ups in the past (with my old CD/RW drive) but have yet to try with my DVD-RW. As for your advice about copying cd contents onto HDD then burning onto CD (Thats a way i use frequently when trying to back-up the more stubon copy-protected games. (Many ppl critisize Nero but i love it,Its able to do more tasks than clone etc and i havent come across a game i havent been able to backup with perservirence. (excuse spelling mistake,never was a strong point of mine). I just want to know who has made a working backup (dosent have to be a 1.1) and what software they used to do it. (to many ppl think its all hardware related but the software used for certian games is just as important). Any info will be read,and appreciated..

i bought swat4 right away on friday. backed it up for security reasons. i used an rather old version of clonecd on my even older ricoh mp-7200a cd-burner. both 2 backup-cds of my german retail are working fine. no probs (i encountered so far).

btw: the game rocks! especially in mp. :D

Nice and easy thats what i wanted to hear. I got the demo and saw the game was good from that. I will be getting this game on monday or Tues. The demo is only S/P so im looking forward to MP.

the demo was quite buggy. but the game exceeds the demo in nearly every way (imo). the look and feel is just great. i hope that some issues are adressed in a patch soon. the mp is great, but lacks some functionalities one would expect from a tac-shooter.

but nevertheless......its so :cool:

well if the game is like xbox i give it a 5 hours max(for me) to end the game

:( I hope not.. I like the tactical shooter. I realy enjoyed "Rainbow six/Raven shield". However that to is a game that one can compleat easily. It all depends on how technicaly you want to play the game i guess. When i played through raven shield i continually re-loaded if me or one of my men was shot. I had to compleat it perfectly. What setting did you play it through on Xbox Luci ? I hope it wasnt hard. Thats something i do as standard. Play through any game on the most difficult option 1st to get a longer life out of it. (im a tight sod who wants every penny's worth). :D

I didn't realize SWAT4 was coming out for xbox... :confused:

According to buyit.com Swat 4 ship's 4/6/05 for Xbox. All the info it has though is PC related including screens, Even the case for the game is PC. Links here if your intrested. http://www.buy.com/prod/Swat_4/q/loc/108/201212112.html

Im getting this in the morning (for PC obviously). Thanks to all who posted in this thread...

You can modify the SWAT 4.msi file so that it can install from a DVD instead of 2 CDs.

well it's not called swat 4 but i believe it's the swat 4 of the pc version.

@Coffin.
i played it on normal but it was TOO easy.i was then(and still am(a real noob at xbox so when i want to point to an enemy it takes me about 4-5 secs!!!!!i lost 2-3 times when i couldn't find a bomb

@Talus
swat global strike team it's called

swat global strike team came out a while ago, so it aint swat 4

maybe they changed the name man

Actualy Luci i belive its a different game :)
Ive been following the progress of this one due to anticipation and its not as far as im aware a XBOX port.

:( :( :mad: :mad: My car has gone and died on me. Meaning i cant get to the store to buy the long awaited "SWAT 4". Seems ill have to wait even longer. Is there no GOD?? (because after this i dont belive in you any more luci..Phaa underworld god indeed. I tried to sell my soul this morning just so my car would take me to the store but it seems you diddnt want it!!!!)
