Completed Let's Play Police Quest: SWAT 2 Terrorist Campaign

[Kalin]

Mission #15 - LAX




Motherfucking Maxie - he played us all, set us up, and now he's looking to leave the country!

Sure, sucks when you suffer family troubles time and time again but that's no excuse to call the cops.

Asshole was going to ditch us and make off with the freedom fund on his private jet.

Well hey, he's not there yet, meaning we can board it instead! It's time...




FOR THE FINAL SHOWDOWN!

Right off the bat we're faced with former brethren turned enemies. Maxie's CADRE. These crackas? They need to go.

This mission is *extremely frustrating* to play since it throws you into a classic mexacoon standoff without any preparation.

As always, the bros start with their bullet-proof vests unequipped so you gotta click click click!

First attempt I died in 5 seconds. This went better. I'm seriously too old for this shit.

First order - disrupt those damn cadre assholes! Before even putting on his vest Kalarion throws a grenade!

Second order - bros are sent to take cover behind the pillars. Dante? He has something else to do, namely...

...taking out Maxie! Yeah, sorry boss, but that's what you get for calling the cops on Cognito Elite Club!

FEEL THE IMPACT!

And with that taken care of lightbane and Normie throw fresh grenades at the fools blocking our way.

That first cadre? They ran south to avoid grenade/back up Maxie and are now engaging the cops swarming the entrance.

First grenade goes off harming absolutely no one.

At the same time, Normie pulls out the good old LR 300 and bursts the enemy!

Dante arrives a second later and does the same, targeting the slave squatters on the left.

Normie drops a schmuck and Dante takes a hit - but he's still standing and fires back!

Backing up our bro, Normie and lightbane start to shoot at the left-side squad!

YEAH BITCH! Two of them have their brains splattered all over the floor and the second grenade goes off!

However, as the sickos fall our bro lightbane catches a couple of bullets as well-

Third grenade kills them off and the lone survivor is running for his life...

Eat lead traitor! Normie drops the asshole good and proper.

Good news is lightbane is still alive, bad news is he's too fucked up to bring with us. Good run mate - you hang in there ok.

The small plane is Maxie's private jet - we're not there yet so time to trek the terminal!

To cover our retreat, Cosby slaps down a makeshift grenade booby trap - and spots a big bunch of cops rushing the building!

Maxie's cadre is keeping them busy, this should buy us just enough time to make a clean getaway...

Since Dante is injured Normie takes point. So far, so good.

We run past the cafeteria and make for the plane...

...only to have Normie catch a stray bullet from a sicko cop! Bastards are already here!

Quick reflexes and solid assault rifle skills save the day - the cop asshole goes down!

Even so, more are inbound. Seems like LAPD won't let us leave without a fight!

A second cop pops up behind a baggage tractor, taking cheap shots at Cosby!

Kalarion sprays the first fed but to no avail - well, what are you gonna do, this is DO or DIE so we run for the jet anyway.

Baggage cover cop (who incidentally looks a lot like Ian Miles Cheong) fires a couple of shots at our bros. All of them miss.

In retaliation, Dante and Normie burst him to hell and back again!

As Dante, Normie and Cosby run for to jet Kalarion holds the ground against the last cop...

DAS RITE!

For good measure he throws a grenade at her before rushing to the airplane...

Heheheh. Grenade kills off the bitch, and just like that we're out.

Shame about lightbane and the rest of the gang, but hey, that's life in the big city!

The jet takes off, and before long:




And with that, the credits roll. We made it - terrorist campaign completed!

Oh yeah, the game has an outro video but it's really just a plane animation flying through clouds.

There are several different endings to this mission (Maxie leaves and laughs at you, Maxie and/or Dante die/are arrested etc.)

Game matches the right audio with the right video, if applicable. If you fail all that and still escape (and stay in the country) the car guy, Aiken, does the outro.

I really respect the fact they went to so much trouble to cover the angles like this, I know I said it before but it's impressive stuff.

Oh yeah, also gotta say, I enjoyed the credits a lot. They made sure to include everyone, even the people who provided the portraits.

Best part? The outro song. Not too shabby:

[Joggerino]

Congratulations

 

[lightbane]

So, all of the campaign was a lie and Dante pussies out completely?

Vibrant warrior for Brohammad, blew up more guys than I can count, somehow lived through it all

No thanks to you, ditching me right at the end.

 

[Parsimonious cook]

Great LP!

Well, this is not the revolution we signed up for, but at least some of us made it out alive and justice was served to the traitorous Basho. GG all.

 

[Azira]

Go figure. Gotta double back on my anal candles online-shop. It's sure to take off!

 

[baud]

at least we showed the pigs how it's done

 

[Zanzoken]

I can't believe my man Bill actually survived

 

[lightbane]

I'm not sure what's Kalin's obsession with Maxie. It seems he's quite mad or something, but so is everyone here to be fair. Any chances of doing the police campaign?
Or at least to not suddenly delete this LP?

 

[Helly]

Awesome LP lah!
I'm glad that Not-a-deer made it through OK in retirement with that monocled old boot and killed some PIGGUS in his time.

 

[Corvinus]

It seems he's quite mad or something, but so is everyone here to be fair.

Compared with what is going on every day in the world this place is a beacon of sanity. You just have to switch on the TV, radio, or open a newspaper to get a dose of utter madness - acts that are so foul that they would have been punished by death in pretty much any culture are now loudly trumpeted as virtues. Even the Codexers with obvious issues seem coherent if put beside the average anti-social media zombie.

What a tense conclusion to a great LP though - I found myself thinking that it would make an awesome movie or mini-series if taken seriously from the viewpoint of the "terrorists". Imagine watching that last shootout directed and filmed in a similar manner to this! We sure had a great cast of characters, too, and it didn't escape me that the more monocled among us, such as boot and nads, at least got it tolerable in prison, but others like Junior Jr. went straight to the tasteful BBC ward. Not much to say about my own performance other than it ended in a realistic manner. Twice.
A pity Basho was just a demagogue and not the real deal. Just another Maxie alt. For the next game he should do the vocaroo briefings! All in all, this was great stuff. I salute thee.

True, the world has gone mad and it made Codexers and everyone else's manias worse, since the forces of evil have decided to rush their ultimate plan of world domination, but there's little we can do about it, but survive and reminisce of better times.

Had the obvious terrorist leader won, it would have caused a shitstorm in that age for sure. Today such kind of game wouldn't ever be released outside of indies, if at all... Unless the "terrorrist leader" is now a white supremacist destined to lose, and even then I'm not sure.
Nazis for example have been demonized to the point of ridiculousness in the latest Wokenstein games (and shoved DRUMPF! references because of fucking course).

Yes, "crime doesn't pay" and all that. Still, besides blowing up cops by the dozen I don't think the Five Eyes were too bad, really. They were just prepared to do what was needed to further their cause even though the consequences might be dire. Most of the killings were defensive, and drug dealers are trash.

Hah! Trump references in a Wolfenstein game. That's crazy, but then again he is obviously an EVIL NAZI and the people who voted for him are TERRORISTS!11one

Well, that's because it was an elaborate scheme by the bad guy to escape prison. Couldn't he just have bribed the right judge instead? Way less hassle and faster?
Then again we wouldn't have a game in that case.

I dunno if you noticed, but during the last decade the world has gone completely bonkers, especially when Trump was chosen against all leftards' expectations. Since then, EVERY ONE OF EVERY THREE works have jabs against him, be it books, comics, games, movies, whatever. From fucking DnD (supposedly in one of the 5th ed. supplements, I haven't confirmed it yet), to sci-fi nazis, to the Vampyr game, to the nu-Animaniacs, even fucking Mortal Kombat has a jab against the dreadful ORANGE MAN BAD! I'm not American, but even I noticed the constant and annoying jabs at that guy, often at the expense of everything else.

 

[Corvinus]

Hard to not notice these days. All new media is simply a vehicle for further brainwashing. The DnD of today seems to cater exclusively to the perverse so that they may live out their sickness, so that's not surprising.

Damn straight :D

Truly the band of our movement. Def Leppard for the slammer:


Def Leppard for the struggle:


Another stellar LP Kalin
