I’ve been playing SWAT to make up for its disappearance but it really isn’t the same.
What’s the deal? Is it gone because it is being retuned?
It’s gone because this game is dreadfully boring to play even with loadouts, perks, etc… Take that all away and you are stuck with something even more dreadfully boring to play. Even if it is ‘competitively acceptable’ to play.
Fact of the matter is they took it out because the population was pathetic in it. You can only take out so many standard game factors before a playlist becomes illegitimate. In halo 2/3 you had to modify jump and speed a little bit and bam you had MLG settings. Now you have to make a new game to get MLG settings, it’s unreal.
It is being “fixed.”
That is the most we were told.
It will back back early 2013.

> To get to our preferred number of playlists, we will be removing Team Slayer Pro on Monday. We plan to bring it back next year, after we have time to fine-tune it and make it a more optimal competitive experience. We’ll talk more about that when the time gets closer – and that goes for Double Team, Grifball, the addition of more small maps into Matchmaking and the other things we have planned for early 2013 as well.
