Concerned about Tactical Ops

Games Halo Infinite

I am going to be keeping a close eye on the challenges.

I played some Tac Slayer with some friends earlier to warm up before the event and they all played like…well, I won’t say it here but let’s just say, if the progression is not casual friendly, I don’t think this is going to be a good event.
The majority of the community are casuals, so if the event requires you to be good at Tac Slayer, it is not going to end well

I’ve learned with 343 to set your standards low if you don’t want to be disappointed. I’d be surprised if the challenges aren’t quite painful for quite a few players.

Hell, you can even be good at the mode but if the servers are crap you’re screwed.

The issue here is that I’ve learned to set my standards low with 343, yet I am still disappointed.

Doesn’t seem so hard to just aim at the head. That just may be me.

Apparently it is to some, I have players on my team constantly shooting them in the body

Kind of hard to aim at the head when you are playing against extreme trigger fingers with super Aim assist

I’ll probably just do the event then go back to BTB once I’ve unlocked everything. It’ll probably be really intense though at the start like it was with attrition or whatever that game mode was.

The problem will be when the challeges are:

  • Get 10 kills with the stalker rifle in Tactical Ops

…and then you don’t get Stalker Rifle Tac Ops for 10 games straight. There’s gonna be a lot of quitting as usual.

Then SWAT has been a petri dish of hackers and cheaters. 343 improved the anti-cheat, but this even will show how effective it is.

I think it’ll be good to have an event aimed at people who just play SWAT.

To be fair, the mode is very luck based. You may not win on luck alone, but you can still get kills.

I don’t get why so many people complain they’re bad at Swat/TacSlayer.

You point at their head and shoot. If you land the first shot congrats you won the gun fight and move onto your next target.

Just git gud.

I have a feeling they will make separate playlists for each SWAT mode rather than have a mode rotation.

Tactical Slayer aka SWAT isn’t a casual friendly gamemode…let’s face it, that’s why the AR is so OP in Halo Infinite. All my friends have quit the game already but when there was 8 of us, there was only myself and one other that enjoyed SWAT.

The main reason being is that most casual/low level players are generally pretty terrible at aiming for the head. It will obviously be different for higher ranked players, but if you’re an average player you only have to look at the post game stats to see how few headshots other players got in the game (its a stat I’ve always paid attention to in order to determine skill levels and I’m usually the player with the most headshots).

There may be a minor surge in population for this event but it won’t last long.

This will not be the usual Tactical Slayer. You have to use a few different weapons .

SWAT is probably my favourite game mode, so I’m looking forward to this. It’ll be nice to play some swatnums.

Really? We can’t even get them to separate slayer from quickplay.

I hope you’re right though, but I’m mentally prepared for the grindfest regardless.

I’m more concerned about aimbots to be honest

I’m decent at swat… I had a 48 in halo 3 in swat (was always more of an objective/doubles 50 type) but I don’t really enjoy swat. :confused: is that weird? I’m good at it I just don’t like it. -shrugs-
