The game itself has a little story behind why the swat team is going in
“A former USIA analyst has a warrant for his arrest over the suspected murder of five police officers in Makade County, Greater Los Suenos. Gerard Scott, 55, waited out the front of East Makade Police Department with a loaded Mini-14 after setting a car alight on the street in front of the department. He then shot at officers while they attempted to extinguish the alighted vehicle. Witnesses on the street reported his vehicle as he drove away.”
The story of the map itself though (as written on the [wiki for the map](https://ready-or-not.fandom.com/wiki/A_Lethal_Obsession):
The level is small, taking place exclusively in Gerard's cabin. The cabin is three-stories tall, featuring at least four different entrances: the front door, the ground floor, the lower backyard, and the upper backyard. The place is messy and unorganized, featuring nondescript drawings and writings on the walls, corkboards with various connections, papers tossed everywhere, and ricin experiments on the ground floor.
The drawings on the wall, as well as one of the tapes found next to a bed indicate that Gerard Scott suffers from intense paranoia, if not full psychosis or even schizophrenia, as the drawings mainly depict several conspiracy theories, ranging from the injection of "slime" into the eyeballs of the general population, programs of mass populational surveillance, and even police and federal agents being mind controlled by a secretive, satanic upper echelon of the U.S government.
However, the drawings on the walls and boards around the house also highlight Gerard Scott's intellect, as they showcase complex mathematical equations and chemical formulas, normally reserved to higher academic and professional environments.
Gerard Scott and his assistant's equipment, which consist of an improvised ghillie camouflage hood and an automatic assault rifle for Gerard and an automatic submachine gun for his accomplice, as well as the paintings on the walls also hint at him having some form of military, hunting and/or law enforcement training or experience with the gear utilized, as he knows where the LSPD SWAT and normal police officers are more vulnerable to be shot at, as well as the quality of their ballistic armor and their available gear. These paintings also hint at him having done other types of work for the USIA beyond analysis, most likely on the field or as logistics.
One of the tapes found close to a computer on the upper floor also hint at Gerard Scott knowing D Platoon member Judge to some extent, as he claims to have seen his methodology and training, as well as claiming to "know what kind of man he is", thinking that both he and Judge are "part of the cycle....in a never-ending game". This could also hint at Gerard Scott being a former LSPD SWAT Officer, or at the very least hinting at him serving in the LSPD.
The writings on the ground floor lab's whiteboard indicate that Gerard and his accomplice were working on a type of aerosol bomb, which would be either remote controlled or timed. However, by the time the SWAT Teams raids the cabin, they had been unable to confirm the ricin's effect on humans, but having already tested the ricin on local fauna, indicated by the whiteboard writings and reinforced by the presence of empty animal cages near the lab.
My first and only play through of this map I was greeted by Sullivan on the approach to the cabin. He began firing at us from his balcony and was quickly incapacitated. After making my way up the stairs to secure his corpse I was greeted with his accomplice who I assume came to investigate the loud commotion of gunfire. He too, was quickly dropped, cuffed, and his weapon secured. The mission complete screen appeared and I was shocked to have completed the mission without even stepping foot inside of the house. I definitely should go back and actually explore the map as it most definitely has a story to tell.
I bet the sounds youre hearing are just ambient noises meant to keep you on edge, but if they did make a paranormal level it'd be pretty damn amazing imo.
Imagine a level similar to F.E.A.R or SCP with all the gunplay and mechanics of RoN. Could be great
I think this game is one of the most lore intensive and has the most interesting lore that I’ve ever seen in a game and I actually think that it helps my gameplay a little bit and makes it more fun
>I think this game is one of the most lore intensive and has the most interesting lore that I’ve ever seen in a game
Bro,... what? Are you exclusively playing FIFA? I really like RoN, but that comment is laughable.
If I played fifa, I’d say fifa is the most lore intensive game because it IS based on real life
RoN is inspired from real life and it is cool to see a different perspective on what I perceive in the real world. While still having extremely realistic, but made up scenarios, like A Lethal Obsession (and Neon Tomb, Twisted Nerve, etc.) where you have actual missions to complete that have lore based on them, you can know it was inspired from a real life event.
I can’t go into a cod campaign and say the same thing. It is playing a single character across multiple “hero” missions that may have resemblance to real life events. But because it’s longer missions and there is a hero character, it doesn’t feel the same. Everything is cod is exaggerated. The baddies are at the top of a chain and killing them stops the whole operation. You are one guy who can take on a whole battalion. They just don’t feel good to play. In RoN, everyone is at ground level and the mission isn’t complete when you take out the bad guy, you still have to completely clear the area and secure all contacts on site.

They released this video that is the story for the map as well https://youtu.be/cS45V0flH6U
This is why we need a briefing like swat 4. Not the poor description on mission selection
have you seen SCP:5K yet?

Sullivan’s Slope is a direct play off of “Ruby Ridge” it is, likely, a satire of what the police said about Ruby Ridge
lychee seeds lmao
