There are a bunch of awesome possibilities for Halo 4 SWAT, and it’s exciting. In Halo 3 the only weapons used for swat was the BR and Magnum. (I don’t believe the Carbine was used) and in Reach it was the DMR and Magnum. But now for Halo 4 there is both the DMR, BR, and pistol. And they can also include the carbine (which I’m glad is returning.) The point is there is oppportunity for variety in SWAT and that’s a good thing. Now just hopefully there are maps that are good for SWAT. Reach only had three (Countdown, Sword Base, and Reflection.)
Regardless I’m excited for Halo 4! What do you guys think?
Ways it adds variety:
if you shoot a DMR and just barely miss than you have to take another shot.
if you shoot with a BR it’s a three round burst you can adjust mid shot and still get the kill.
Carbine has a faster rate of fire than the others that can change gameplay.
As long as they add some veriety i’m OK.
I would like to see BR Swat,Carabine Swat,DMR Swat etc.
Yeah that’s kinda what I was thinking. It’ll be interesting, maybe it’ll just be SWAT and they’ll control your loadouts and you can pick from the carbine, BR, or DMR.
Carbines, DMRs BRs, Magnums, aww yeah.
ShWATguns? :3

YAY! I’missing the crazy Shotgun Swat,now imagine it with Scattershots!!

Heck. No. That’s like Shotty-Snipes…
In all honesty, if they’re to go with the Covenant Carbine, they might as well bring in the Needle Rifle. It;s far more precise and accurate.

I remember seeing it in Action Sack once, but I didn’t get to play it.

But the Needle Rifle can supercombine, and is the reason it isn’t in Reach SWAT.

Point, but they could remove the supercombine from it in SWAT and replace the Carbine with it if they wanted.
I’m looking over the options, and it seems pretty clear.
Lol, all you did is add more precision weapons. What’s so special about that? They will all get the task done either way.
True, true. But a BR is a three round burst, and the DMR is single shot. The gameplay for those two alone would be different in SWAT. Like if you shoot a DMR and just barely miss than you have to take another shot. But if you shoot with a BR it’s a three round burst you can adjust mid shot and still get the kill. It can change the outcome of the encounter. Other percision weapons have different ranges which can change gameplay. Carbine has a faster rate of fire than the others that can change gameplay. <mark>So really there is plenty of variety.</mark>
this was directed to sitting mamba the post above, forgot to hit the qoute button
I wonder if the Needle Rifle is returning? Did they confirm it? Or deny it being in there or what?
I think DMR swat is the best and takes the most skill since you can drag the BR and the carbine is fast and you could spam shots with it.

Agreed, that’s why I like Reach’s SWAT better than Halo 3’s. Except for Reach’s Magnum SWAT because magnums are soooo inaccurate, and they spam with those.
I still hope there are better maps for SWAT than what Reach had to offer Reach only had three good SWAT maps (countdown, sword base, and reflection.)

Dude I played shotty-snipes on Reflection one time it was soooo much fun!!! That’s the only time I’ve ever gotten to play it though. Shotty-Snipes should have it’s own playlist. lol. Dude I loved the Needle Rifle, I hope they bring it back but seriously Halo 4 going to be like weapon overload. Their bringing back sooo many weapons plus introducing a whole to class of weapons!!! It might be a little much. And that’s the only thing I’m honestly worried about as far as this game goes.
I’d love to see SWAT Magnums return, most fun I’ve ever had with SWAT.
ScHWATguns was lolsy and fun as well.
They could make a variant with DMR spawns and ordinance drops that give you a choice of carbine, BR, or speed boost
Yeah, and let’s add in AR, Shotguns and Grenade Launcher gametypes!
halo 3’s swat had carbines and grenades, I just played the other day.
I’m really excited to see that kind of variety in swat again at least with all the new headshot weapons.
I’m excited about the new SWAT. Four different weapons, four different experiences.
Wait…there’s also the Light rifle!
