Hi all, last weekend I played LSPDFR as an unarmed UK police officer (with just a baton and taser). It is hard but very fun! Most of the time I can deal with people without a firearm, but if I get shot at I have to retreat and call for backup.

One incident was when I tried to arrest someone in Grove Street. Suddenly a lot of red dots appeared! I had to retreat to the gas station and call for backup. I was able to takedown a few guys chasing me with my taser then push forward with my baton and beat them to death.

The closest I got to dying waa when I tried to pull over a car which then called for backup. I was chased back to the police station where I retreated inside a cupboard and spamed the SWAT backup button. Luckliy all the enemies were killed by SWAT.

It makes you realise how good the backup can sometimes be!

Especially when that backup is heavily armed :P

Heavily armed? Backup? Crazy? That can't be. That store mugger already in cuffs totally deserved those 19 warning shots in the back! =D

I might go all Call of Duty hardcore and just carry a knife!

Haha! I only just started LCPDFR last weekend too. I set up a voice command to call every type of backup available for situations like those. Doesn't always quite work so well though. Not sure if it's general lag or what. Once just asked for air support whilst chasing a GTA suspect and ended up calling too NOOSE attack helicopters by mistake :D. Well, they didn't get away at least.

Btw, I only found out by accident since it's not visible, but there is actually a usable fire extinguisher in your "specials" weapon select e.g where RPG etc. is. I hope they add in tear gas for SWAT as that would come in handy as well for non-lethal showdowns.
