Was browsing around Hot-Swat-Mods and found this article on a new mod that is going to be released in the near future, called S4: Take Down ... looks like a very interesting mod that will hopefully make S4 gaming a lot more easy and convienent, with features such as:
- 50+ primary/secondary weapons
- 7 kit items
- 10 single/multi-player maps
- Customizable body armor
- Multi-player chat lobbies (Special thanks to AlienAbducter)
- Antics integrated anti-cheat system (Special thanks to Rapher)
- Custom skins (Special thanks to ATL)
- 2 New game modes for multiplayer game play
- 10 single/multiplayer maps
- 5 exclusive multiplayer only maps
- Over 6 additional kit items
- New 3rd person view option
- New map developer pack added with full tutorials on several mapping topics and over 1,000 additional static mesh models to be used in the community
...to name a few
Curious to see if anyone in SAS community would ever consider adopting a Mod, such as this, as standard operating feature for the unit?? Mostly because the current mode of SWAT 4 TSS has a ton of tweeks and unrealistic features that aggravate any serious SWAT player 
quick edit wanted to throw in weaps n tactical aids for mod as well...

great news and i like what i read so far except for the weapons as some are repeated with different names or are not correct along with some of the usefulnesses of some tac aids, anyway, it should prove to be quite an interesting new approach

Well, it's not the equipment that bothers me in SWAT 4 TSS, but rather the AI and specifically it's quickdraw. This is all fixed in the SSF mod.
Yea I saw it on the site for some days ago. looks very interesting. Then I just dont know if I can install the mod on TG3.

Ya for this mod the creators emphasized how the were not trying to go for realism with this mod, which is my only big drawback on the TD mod, but still looks interesting...and Rasa I agree SSF mod fixes a lot of AI and gameplay errors but for myself I tend to have crash problems when I use the mod, not sure if its just me or for everyone?
just for the huge amount of guns, alone, I'll be glad to try it!

I always thought that the Colt XM177E1/2 were prototypes of the M4 they field tested in Vietnam in small numbers. I remember hearing some thing about the Surgeon General or some making a stink about them. Because some model had the blast so close to the soldiers ears a few guys damaged their hearing.
I have never tried a Swat TSS mod untill yesterday. I tried SSF v 3.1 and I must say I was positive surprised. It was a new but also a nostalgic gaming experience. Very good
Is it a theme within SAS to develop a similar mod for Swat TSS?

good points for all...now if we could just fix the quick draw in RvS.
S4 has quickdraw but RvS has quick draw nearly 100% of the time.
I like extra kit items and versatility, but adding a ton of weapons doesn't add to the experience. The performance of many weapons is so similar, the only benefit is appearance... How cool do I look with this weapon? etc.

Yeah Random I agree, the creators of the new TakeDown mod, HellBringerTeam, quoted on hot-swat-mods how this mod was made with the players by the players or something like that, and I am not sure if this was necessarily true because most serious S4 players want to see in game/AI improvements not just fancy-shmancy equipment that just gives the game some more eye-candy but we are still left with aggravating effects of poor S4 AI realism and other flaws...but I did get some positive forum feedback with one of the modders from the team, Stigmata. And he said it is very possible to combine what SSF Mod 3.1 has to offer (which is AI/Officer Improvements), along with new perks and equipment features(TakeDown Mod) and create an ultimately satisfying mod for the whole SWAT community....thing is just need a team of people willing to put forth the effort to do so.

Currently, SSF mod itself doesn't have a team.
Reminds me of SWAT3 with the big weapon mod.
MP5 in A3, SD3, A2, SD2, K PDW, K PDW + SD, and Aimpoint scoped versions of each ^_^
I personally liked the MP5A3 9x19mm, AKS-74U+Kobra Scope, and H&K 53 5.56x45mm
