CUSTOM MISSIONS

In addition to the original SWAT3 mission mode, accessible through the main menu by clicking on the Mission tab, and then the Standard tab, you may play any of the SWAT3 missions, including those created by mod builders, with an extended set of options and up to ten assaulters split between up to two entry teams, by selecting Custom from the Mission tab in the main menu.

Custom missions give you access to additional weapons, assaulter types, camos, and an extra entry team for the mission if you so choose. Any MODs you have activated with the MOD Selector will be active here.

If this is your first time playing SWAT 3 in custom mission mode, you will be asked to create a SWAT officer persona to represent you in the game. You may specify the names and traits for your new officer or leave them set to defaults. To create your own persona name, click on the supplied name, and then type using the keyboard. You'll want to enter a last name, first name, and nickname. After that's finished, you can use the arrows to the sides of the Years in Swat and Race selection to scroll through those fields to pick the traits that you’d like. If you are satisfied with your changes, click the Accept tab. If you do not wish to save your changes, click the Cancel tab.

If you are returning to custom mission mode, you will not be asked to create another persona.

Once you have clicked the Mission tab and then the Custom tab on the Main menu, and have a persona, you will be taken to the Mission Selection menu. The selection is defaulted a randomly chosen mission. Click on the arrows at the bottom-right hand side of the menu to change the currently selected mission. A graphic of the mission appears above the arrows for your reference, and the name of the mission will appear at the upper-left.

When you have selected the mission that you would like to play in, you may also select the type of game you would like to play. You may choose to play Co-Operative (as in the original SWAT3 missions), or any of the new competitive game types: Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, or Last Man Standing. Click on the arrow to the right of the box marked "Game Type" and select from the list. See the Multi-player section for information on the new competitive game types.

Once you have your mission choices the way you want them, move your cursor over the tab marked "Ok" and click. You will be taken to Operations where you can configure your team, your gear, and your entry points for the upcoming mission.
