SWAT has been my go-to game mode ever since halo reach, and halo 5 is no different. I really like SWAT in halo 5, and I’ve played it every season since launch. However, over time different variants were added like DMR, H2, and H1 SWAT.
I have issues with the last three that they added, but my biggest issues lie in H1 SWAT. I’ve never had a good game of it. The score always seems to end 50-28 or close to it. I’ve been on both ends of it and either way it’s not fun. Not to mention how frequently I spawn in the sights of an enemy player. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve spawned, died, spawned, and died again, playing H1 SWAT. Not to say that the other modes have better spawns, (they don’t) but it seems especially prevalent in H1 SWAT specifically.
My solution would be to remove it from ranked play, and find a social playlist for it. It seems odd that a game mode with a power weapon as your starting weapon would be ranked anyway. But that’s just my 2 cents.
Spawn killing is especially prevalent in all variants of Swat. It just depends on the map, the most notable one being Pegasus II. And well, the H1 Magnum being a power weapon is kinda irrelevant in Swat. Still gotta aim for the head.

Pegasus II and Plaza are the worst offenders when it comes to spawn killing.

yeah but both the CE mag and the H2 BR have larger bullet magnetism than other guns in the playlist. this makes it ridiculously easy to get a shot using them. that’s why a lot of new players prefer the H2 BR over the H5 one. even though they never played H2 the H2 BR is simply easier to use.
I don’t like H1 swat. The pistol is not in many playlists in H5. It doesn’t feel relevant.

I agree with you there. I wanted Ron include the H2 BR in my rant but I could almost live with it compared to H1 SWAT. They both just don’t feel as competitive since one is a power weapon and the other aims itself. Ideally I’d like both H2 and H1 SWAT out of competitive and put in some sort of social playlist. Maybe a social SWAT with light rifles, carbines, and H2 and H1 could be interesting
