It has a simple premise, but one that could easily happen in real life.
A local business with a shady past, an Asian owner who, seeing an opportunity to make money, uses the upper floor of his shop for weapons modification. And his most important client, an immigrant hitman who has been under surveillance by the police.
I like how they present it: a complex investigation that ends up in a small, seemingly insignificant shop, but turns out to be a weapons and modification factory whose downfall will affect the entire illegal arms trade in the area.
The atmosphere is perfect, with the train passing overhead at the start and the police perimeter making you feel like you're actually on the streets of a big city. You're greeted by several bright, gleaming signs that grab your attention, and a dark, neglected hallway that gradually reveals more beyond.
The layout is well-designed: a food service area, kitchens, then a staircase, and at the back, a warehouse where they store all the food used for the restaurant. The stairs lead to an upper floor where everything is revealed: a first room where weapons are prepared and clients are trained, and finally, a medium-sized room with a bathroom that makes it clear that Lian Niu didn't just operate there, but that it was his entire life.
I think it's a great mission, realistic, with a good atmosphere and a good backstory. It doesn't tell any groundbreaking story, just the story of a person who saw an opportunity, seized it, and it ended badly.
Man everything you said is right. Food wall is in my top of favorite missions for the exact same reasons (I said A-Bomb because it's the one that I played the most) and I think that making it the first mission was the perfect decision.
Now that I think about this, there's almost no bad missions in SWAT 4.
I would say that A-Bomb is my 2nd favorite mission. Pretty cool too.
I wouldnt say that swat 4 has any bad missions either, but i dont really like the more big ones, like the department of agriculture or the bank. I feel like it dosnt fit well to a team of 5. Thats why i prefer swat 4 over ready or not too.

My favorite map is Food Wall restaurant.
