I agree, it strikes a good balance between SWAT 4 and more 'gung-ho' shooters and the firefights are some of the most vicious and visceral I've ever seen. It'd be good if there was an option to toggle random tango positioning on and off, one of the things I loved about SWAT 4 was the fact that the suspects were not always in the same place.
I'm looking forwards to seeing where they take this series next.
