• New Takedown Engine. The Takedown engine uses DX8 graphics hardware, including multi-texture rendering, motion-captured animation blended with procedural and inverse kinematic motion, pixel shading, advanced particle system, and dynamic lighting with real-time shadow casting. Bottom line-SWAT: Urban Justice looks amazing.
  
   
• 24-Person Multiplayer. Compete as either the officer or the criminal in multiplayer mode with up to 23 other gamers via LAN or the Internet. Several different multiplayer game types are also included: Team Co-Op, Versus Co-Op, Deathmatch, Trophy, Hunted, Team Deathmatch, and airsoft modes.
  
   
• In Defense Of Life. Play as the ultimate real world hero-the SWAT team leader or SWAT assaulter-and try to save L.A. from gangland destruction.
  
   
• Jumpstart Mode. Jumpstart mode allows the gamer to leap into the fray with only one click of the mouse. Jumpstart mode also provides game play assistance in the form of simpler football-style play commands, a highlighting menu, easy-mode bad guys, and simplified mission objectives. By issuing play commands such as "Assault to Contact," your team will storm through the building, opening and clearing rooms until members make contact with suspects.
  
   
• Play Commands in Standard Mode. The standard Command Menu now includes football-style plays, giving gamers the option to issue top-level or tactic-specific commands to their teams in mission or career mode, making for a fast-paced tactical experience.
  
   
• New Weapons and Characters. More than 40 real-world weapons including the HK 69A1 40mm break open rocket launcher, Serbu Super Shorty 12 gauge, and the Gemtech Quantum .22 caliber rifle with integrated silencing. Most weapons also have several customizable components, including the stock, optics, suppressor, magazines, fire rate, and more.
  
   
• Authentic Gear and Tactics. Use authentic SWAT tactics, gear, and weapons. The game features realistic weapon ballistics that enable the player to shoot through doors, walls, and glass-each with different physical properties. Also pick up working radios and weapons from your opponents.
  
   
• Robust AI. Enjoy hauntingly realistic AI for more than 150 characters-from hostages to team members. Also, thanks to multiple random spawn points, no mission ever plays the same.
  
   
• Powerful Mission Editor. Create your own signature missions, edit existing missions, or recreate real-world situations. You can also create an entire career to play in single or multiplayer mode. In addition to mission building, the Mission Editor allows you to easily create levels, add characters and objects, adjust the lighting, set mission objectives, and more.
