Zero Hour (a early release alpha on Steam.)

I really want to like Zero Hour. It has some cool ideas and I appreciate the non-US setting.

I just hope they iron out the annoyances and make it work. Fingers crossed!

Me also, but after playing 100s of shooters since 1990 that game is the only shooter that made me motion sickness. So uninstalled…
Instead of implement a stamina system that are sticked with motion speed and in extreme situations with sway of the weapon, NO, it is sticked with camera sway and it do everytime you walk even small walk meters all the time on.
In reality even if i run i not have my vision swaying all the time as if i’m drunk.
So its a bad dev decision and enforced by stubborn behavior.
This game it sway all the vision even if you only walk.

Thanks that we already have the Ready or Not, SWAT4 (modded and pimped) and others on the genre.

With RoN and SWAT4 w/ SEF and +200 maps i live happy and well wiithout ZH.

Zero Hour was good in Co-op PvE imo.

how about SWAT4 ? it says Multiplayer, but does it support Co-op online play?

Not sure these days, but back in the day via GameSpy it definitely did.

The SWAT4 correctly modded it fully works for pve online coop (2 DLL files also change to modern servers). One creates a server with a playlist of maps and the others join it. All using the ingame menus. You can adjust many parameters for the match.
The replayability is superb because ramdom enemies placement and you have multiple enemies behavior about aggressive, fear, stress, etc

I never had any issue with it. In some R6 games it had a bug where the sound only host listen or in ZH where some see the enemy and the others not. In SWAT4 everything works perfectly and synced!!!

Its for multiple reasons why SWAT4 was/is still a reference on the genre and for many many years the nr1 in this kind of game and even after so many years still played. RoN is fully based on it including the gameplay and interface etc

On gog.com you can get it in sale for about 5 usd that for that game is like gifted.

I actually recommend the First Responders mod over standard SEF.

Version 1.0 releases 9/9… been playing in early access since the beginning and haven’t been too impressed. It’s good, but even today with v9.8 so many issues. Maybe v1.0 will have them or most fixed… who knows. Well, I will 9/9, lol.

(BTW this game has most realistic use of K9, meaning they track suspects and attack, they sniff doors and bark if someone’s on the other side… THOU, you would never send your dog in alone with people with guns like in this game. jmo)

Fingers crossed, it’s made some wicked cool improvements over time.

I hope they sort out the issues… my main issue with the game (remembering I last played it before we got pups in the game) is the movement feels disconnected and almost “tanky” compared to a lot of other more modern games like Insugency: Sandstorm and Ready Or Not (RoN was still in early access last time I played Zero Hour, for reference). There’s the elements of a good game in there…
