SWAT has always been a favorite gameplay variant of mine, but I feel that swatnums comes up way too often in this game. The BR IMHO is more fun to use and feels better overall for this game mode. I wouldn’t mind having swatnums come up every 8 or 9 games or so to change the pace up but it’s like 50/50 right now and I feel like it’s too much. Thoughts?
Totally agree. Those lucky long range shots in swatnums get on my nerves.
My only problem with Swatnums is that it’s not called Swagnums! Just kidding, I don’t like Swat in Halo 5 but in the few games I played I got too many Swatnums games.

I agree. If it is 50/50 now that’s better than it used to be. I stopped playing swat a month ago because it was like 75/25 swatnums.
Its pretty even for me.

There are some nights where it is a spread like that, which is ridiculous. It should be 80/20 at most.
I had it 5 times in a row. I like the magnum don’t get me wrong, but it just seems to often to say it is fair
Mmmm… I like more magnum than the random spread BR. Im from EU, obviously try to avoid longshot fights ^.^
If people were able to vote for what to play I have a feeling 343 would see disinterest in Swatnums.
It’s random. Last night I got 6 or 7 BR swat matches in a row and this morning before I headed off to work I got 4 swatnum matches in a row.
No. I like Swatnums more than Swat
I honestly like swatnums better than SWAT but I get both of them but probably swatnums a little more

I think this would be the most fair, but based on the responses here and from other mediums, I’d say that a clear majority of matches would end up using the BR.
100% agree. 50/50 is way too much. 75/25 at most.
they should bring the vote system from halo 4 back, that so far is the only good ting i can see from halo 4
There’s really no downside to having a voting system.

In halo reach it still is pretty well played, but it definitely dosn’t get played as often as it does in halo 5… so I think voting would dial down the gametype for sure.
I wish they all could be swatnums…
i wish they replaced the BR with the DMR in swat.
I don’t mind swatnums because it promotes more map movement. I’ve been in too many BR swat matches that boils down to who can camp corners harder because the BR’s effective range is so damn good in every map and I’m not saying that’s necessarily a bad thing but it gets really old. Swatnums at least allows more map movement and for more fast-paced rotations.
Additionally, the magnum in H5 is one of the best in the halo series which makes swatnums more enjoyable to play than in previous halo titles. It can be pretty tricky/lucky to get a consistent headshot from a long distance but that’s the point, it means that you have a decent chance of running from cover without getting killed immediately.
I’d assume swatnums is set to a 50% chance and could agree to reducing that to say 40% at most but all in all it makes for a great change of pace from cross-map BR shenanigans that’s normal BR swat. Most of all I’d prefer to see more swat gametypes like carbine start, or swat taking place in some of the breakout maps.
