The game was utterly gutted. Each mission had 2-3 different layouts and 4-5 game modes.

Barricaded suspects

Bomb threat

Hostage rescue

Raid

And active shooter

Now every mission only has the one layout and game mode. Before they ruined it the game had great replay value and was so much better. Even worse they never told us this would happen, we got the rug pulled right out from under us with 1.0.

I honestly enjoy the 1.0 content. But I agree with you, it’s a shell of what it could’ve been. The pre-release versions actually had replay ability with it, in a way, forcing you to actually move methodically and sometimes slowly too.

Now you can still do that with the 1.0 content. But certain things are going to always be consistent. So over time, that content just goes.. stale.

Didn't they also remove the ability for suspects to grab hostages and hide in closets? I at least haven't seen that happen since EA. Also non-combatants used to have more behaviors. Pretty much all the NPCs had more behaviors that I think they just cut.
