Ready or Not

Ready or Not is a realistic, tactical, first person shooter developed by Void Interactive, released in Alpha on the 19th of August, 2019 on Windows PC.

Story
Not much is currently known about Ready or Not's story other than that it takes place in Los Suenos, a city in a volatile poltical and economic climate.

Setting
Ready or Not takes place in a 'twisted facscimilie' of the United States of America. One which is downtrodden, cruel, and corrupt. Missions are set in places such as derelict buildings occupied by drug dealers, to a high end penthouse apartmenet, to a school.

The game takes place in the city of Los Suenos.

Gameplay
Ready or Not emphasises smart, tactical play that follows realistic Rules of Engagement (RoE) that dictate what level of force a player is allowed to employ and when. This means that, unlike a regular first person shooter, players cannot usually shoot suspects on sight, but have to make attempts at getting suspects to surrender. However, should a suspect pose an immeadiate threat to life players do not have to attempt arrest, and may employ lethal force to eliminate the threat.

To help emphasise the importance of following the Rules of Engagement player's performance is graded after each mission is concluded, with penalties placed on the player for each instance of failure to follow the RoE. Some penalties are harsher than others, with unauthorised use of force being punished less harshly than unauthorised use of deadly force, which in turn is punished less harshly then killing civilians.

REALISM FIRST
VOID Interactive has consulted with police teams globally to create rules of engagement and a scoring system that are both challenging and realistic. In order to push the bar further with realism, Ready or Not models ballistic penetration, ricochet, kevlar and plate dynamics, as well as projectile expansion and momentum.

ROBUST AND NATURAL CONTROLS
Explore a deep and involved weapon handling and player maneuvering system, geared towards providing officers with an unprecedented level of control over their situational effectiveness. Ready or Not utilizes a simple and organic control scheme which won’t have players fumbling around, forgetting dozens of key bindings.

PLANNING SYSTEM
Organize an approach and strategize through floor plans and mission briefs, then execute the mission in real time. Officers can decide to deploy with items such as ballistic shields, door rams, tactical ladders, and much more. Swat units can also choose to enlist personnel to assist with the situation, including sniper teams and negotiators.

DIVERSE MODES
Bring order to chaos online with friends through a tactical cooperative experience, lead a crack team of AI-driven swat members in a solo, story-rich campaign, or battle a rogue organization in a fierce and competitive multiplayer environment.

INTELLIGENT CUSTOMISATION
With access to over 60 unique items, players are given the tools to tackle any situation. The right combination of weapon optics, muzzle modifications, magazine types and foregrip variations gives an officer the edge in combat. Alternatively, load up with plates and heavy armor to prevent a quick end, at the expense of agility. Officers can also personalize their unit with team-specific patches and uniforms.
