Why SWAT?

[BlumiereBleck]

SWAT takes instinct! No map no powers just your gun! Use it!

SWAT was my favorite game-type in Halo 2, but they had to have done something in it in REACH because now if feels bland to me.

You see, I think one of the problems might be the difference between the BR and the DMR: No burst fire. If you bodyshotted, you could still spread it up and get the shot.

The other problem is that there are no power-ups. Halo 3's SWAT still had the power-ups dotted around the map, whilst in Reach they're all armour abilities, which are disabled for SWAT.

Play modern warfare 2 if you only want guns. Halo is for run-and-gun-super-soldier-fun. I didn't buy reach so I could not use all the gameplay add-ons

i love big team swat, it tests my speed and acuracy in the game and i usually do quite well.

I hate swat because I hate quick kills, just ruins what makes Halo, Halo. I just want to know why no one plays stockpile... I love that game mode.

I hate it. If I wanted to die as soon as I spawned in one shot from 5 miles away, I'd play Call of Duty.

I used to be awesome at swat with the BR. But I just cant win with the dmr, which is why I always vote against swat, even if it means voting for another gametype I dont like.

Off topic: What does DMR stand for anyway?

Designated Marksman Rifle, there ya go

Anyone who votes for SWAT or Team Snipers has a 95% chance of sucking at it, pure fact.

Everytime I end up playing it and winning, I have at least 60% of our team's kills.

SWAT sucks. I want to play Halo not Call of Duty.

I don't mind SWAT that much. It's made me much better with the DMR overall, a lot more accurate with headshots. However, I was very happy when Bungie said they were removing SWAT from the Team Slayer playlist and making a dedicated SWAT list. It gets annoying fairly quickly.

Because I'm usually the one dominating. I don't get why anyone else does it either, but as long as I go 23 and 4, I wont complain.

 

[thousandfaces]

The question should be, WHY SNIPERS??? Really??? One day i played 5 snipers games one after the other!!!!

 

[icyneesan]

Because SWAT 4 is probably one of the best FPS games of all-

Oh wait, Halo...

God damnit D:

 

[Cmd. Shepard]

I don't mind SWAT even though most of my friends complain about it, I'm no king of fps games that's for sure, but even I can enjoy it sometimes...tbh, it actually makes it a level playing field because when you do have shields it is those dominant players that tend to destroy but it's a shot in the dark to your skill and K/D in SWAT. I think it's interesting but there's only one map its any good on, I forget which one but its part of Forge World....just don't remember what part but it's a wide open field.

Groups that camp and kill passer-byers are vulnerable to swat.

 

[ryai458]

Becuase every 12 year old, mountian dew sugar high prepubusitan shit gets to scream "boom headshot I iz cul nub" whenever they get a kill.

I personally cannot stand SWAT either. There are 3 things they could do to make me like it more.
-Make it ONLY pistols
-Give it a seperate playlist
-Or... get rid of it.

How would making it only pistols change anything? Pistols might have a smaller clip, but they also have a higher rate of fire, and can scope in, so it wouldn't really change anything.

Besides, I prefer the pistols in SWAT, so shut up, I don't want people knowing that they're good.

That's one of the reasons, the smaller clip. Since most of the fights in SWAT end up in fairly close quarters you may as well only have a handgun. You may remember in Halo 2 how there were SWAT magnums and carbines, right? I'd like to see SWAT have its own playlist, and more game variants.

Actually in the first playlist update SWAT gets its own playlist. Also Classic Slayer gets the boot and King of the Hill comes to many playlist.
