Why SWAT?

[Ninonybox_v1legacy]

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.

well its your lucky day my good friend.
in the october update, they are making a SWAT playlist and taking it out of pretty much everything else.

OT: i like it but i prefered it more in halo 3, although i love getting headshots across the map and watching the players spartan just fall, its just immensly satifying to me.

and about snipers, i hate the people that would literaly stick their dick into the sniper barrel. i like snipers but they are very overrated and usually you have "the guy" that fucking rapes at snipers becuase he sits there and practices snipers the whole day.

Yeah it's annoying because people always vote SWAT/Snipers/Infection every single time, when it would be nice to play some slayer or CTF ever once in a while. I don't really get infection, if you start with shotguns then you can basically dominate by climbing to one of those really high points and staying up their, picking the zombies off with ease if they try to jump up. Meaning if you don't spawn as a human, you have no way of winning.

Wait, I'm a Halo noob, what does the Swat mode do?

 

[jackpipsam]

Thank god there adding in there own playlist for SWAT

That is pretty weird. It's almost like they enjoy that particular game type or something.


But since you don't enjoy it, that would mean that they don't share your opinion.

And that would just be ridiculous.

SWAT's alright so long as it's on the right map, like Zealot. Still though, I find it annoying sometimes when you get downed in almost an instant you are out in the open. The bullet just seemlesly comes out of nowhere. It can get pretty frusterating.

On the other hand, the game type teaches you to be on your toes and be constantly moving during a match. Which can really help in the long run when it comes to getting better at Halo Reach.

"I like games! Games are fun! Fun, you know that thing we used to have before gaming felt like a separate job?"

My relationship with SWAT is love-hate.
Its fun, (and the easiest way to get Jorge's helmet for your avatar), and its takes a teeny bit of skill.

But, I HATE playing 3 times in a row. I seroiusly go insane.

I don't mind SWAT in 4v4 team slayer. On the right map it can be serisouly intense. What I have a problem with is when people vote for team SWAT on hemorrhage in the big team battle playlist. Why the fuck would you want to play on the biggest single map in the game, with the most amount of players you can have and then remove vehicles, weapon spawns, shields and have everyone spawn with precision weapons? A campfest on that size map is so fucking dull. People are so stupid it's unbearble.

It's the same reason you run into servers in Bad Company 2 where the entire attacking team on rush are 90% snipers with 2 people actually trying to do the objective. (Rush you have to arm two bombs before you move on to the next area, defending team has infinite respawns and attacking team has 100 respawns only)

Because people are idiots. That's right if you're on a team game and you're one of 10 snipers you're part of the idiot squad because it doesn't help the team win and you're just doing it for your own sake.

That's why people do it, they're big, fucking, morons all too often.

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 I believe.

OT: I don't really mind SWAT, assuming the map isn't Hemorrhage. It's far from my favorite, but it's not bad. What grinds my gears is the obsession with Snipers in the groups I end up with. Whenever there's a sniper option, without fail, it is the one chosen, and it's usually bad. I hate the gametype yet everyone always picks it >_<.

I know what you mean. They should just have both sides have overshields and give humans the default weapons. Then make the humans WORK for their survival instead of handing them a shotgun right from the start.

Because people see it as 'hardcore' and they have to play because they are 'hardcore'.
