I'm hoping for a Sierra Online renaissance.

I wrote Sierra a letter as a kid and they wrote me back encouraging me to go to school for Computer Science so I could maybe work with them one day.

Did that ever get 11 year old me excited.

And I went to school for computer engineering....and Sierra vanished.

I hope Microsoft brings Sierra back.

Well since you are talking about Sierra, I would love to see a revival of Swat. Perfect time for Swat 5 and I know ready or not basically is swat 5 but having a AAA studio backing may be fun. Then again with how monetization is in AAA games, this may just be a cursed wish.

Yes, own it and I did make mention of it basically being swat 5. I would highly recommend it.

So I wasn't playing swat, but I loved the rainbow six/rogue spear games a ton. Would it be similar enough to those that I'd find it fun?

I think if you miss tactical shooters. I think it is worthy to give a shot. The classic R6 games had a similar feeling. I think the only drawback is since you are using cop style weapons you aren't going to have as an exotic arsenal most of the Assault rifles in the game are AR platforms, you get 1 SA-58 (FAL), 1 Ak platform, and a g36. The Smgs are a bit more diverse. I also think there were some fans who were remaking some maps from Ravenshield.
