Sierra Ships SWAT 4 Expansion Pack

Sierra Entertainment, a publishing label of Vivendi Universal Games, earlier this week announced they’d shipped SWAT 4: The Stetchkov Syndicate to retail stores for the PC. This expansion pack for SWAT 4 is priced at $19.99 and the game is rated M for Mature by the ESRB.

SWAT 4: The Stetchkov Syndicate, said Sierra Entertainment, puts players in the control of up to five SWAT officers and emphasizes tactical deployment over run-and-gun action. Features include seven new missions playable across multiple modes, 10-player co-op, new SWAT equipment, new weapons, new objective types and server browser improvements.
