Is SWAT cheap?

Does it get too easy later on, and do you think it’s a way of boosting commendations? Let me hear what you think, I personally love it because it’s fun and fast paced

I don’t think SWAT is cheap or easy. It isn’t easy because everyone has a fair chance to kill, since you have no energy shields.

I play SWAT when Im sick and tired of beatdown noobfest boxing matches in team slayer.

But you have to admit, if someone were to spend a majority of their Reach career in SWAT they’d get really good just like any other playlist. My question is, since it is easier to kill/be killed in SWAT, does that make it cheap if someone who is really experienced is able to get like 30 kills per match?

Not saying any one way is wrong or right, I just like playing Devil’s Advocate

How is getting 30 kills in swat at all cheap? If you can go that long without dying that’s awesome. If anything Living Dead is cheap. Back when sword base wasn’t nerfed at all and you could hide next to anywhere and get 30,40,50 kills a match sometimes. No using exploits and breaking a map to get your kills is cheap, swat is just like any other playlist. The only advantage someone might have over you is experience.

Ha yeeaaa I remember that :3 Zombies used to rage so hard when all the survivors would hide in the tunnel next to the air vent, it’s too bad they blocked it off now XD

Team SWAT is not a cheap playlist, yes it is easy if you have a decent team and know basic spawns. But it is definitely not a playlist to boost commendations, Grifball is. You can constantly see it all over the place, look at a few peoples service records before your next match, I can almost guarantee one of them will have Onyx for Close Quarters, all because of Grifball.

Well, in correlation to their rank.

I still takes a decent amount of skill to avoid being killed and to earn kills. I think it’s a great addition to multiplayer matchmaking. :L

SWAT is one of the least competitive playlists in Reach. I only play it when I don’t feel like dealing with tryhards or just want to relax and chill.

SWAT is easy, nothing more.

It’s no cheaper than BTB or Team Slayer.

not true all the time i got close quarters almost maxed and have only played griffball two or three times, i believe that the shotgun gives close quarter kills also love beating down people.

swat is definitely a skilled playlist with every player having the same loadout and no shields means killing is easy as dying. The only thing i dont like is killing each other with a headshot surely someone should win or it shouldn’t give out revenge medals for this.

I introduced my friend to swat and slayer, she liked swat, plays only swat, and is now at about 40% commendation…About 5 maxed in MM…Hardly any FF or campaign, a boss at swat but terrible at slayer. I mean. Terrible. She’d be lucky to get more than 5 kills. She doesn’t use vehicles obviously, she can’t use an AR to literally save her life, and she has no knowledge of where any power weapons are, or of maps that you wouldn’t play swat on.

She would dominate the game of swat, you wouldn’t stand a chance with her team but she’s astoundingly terrible in any other playlist.

She’s a reclaimer.

The only commendations that swat gives over other playlists is headshot and multikill . I am max rank and all I play is swat . My commendation is 39 with a pretty fair k/d on swat. Who cares about commendations . To get commendations you need to play all of the playlists in MM campaign and firefight .

SWAT RUlES!!!

SWAT is in no way cheap or easy. It’s about reaction time, strafing, and good aiming…and unfortunately sometimes connection. But still a very fun, competitive and fast paced game.

I wouldn’t call SWAT cheap at all.

If someone wanted to pad their stats it would be way easier to do that in multi team, infected, or BTB.

Infected is just lame.

Not cheap by any means.

SWAT has always been a different skill set. Reaction time/accuracy. LOVE SWAT. (Hate Reach Swat)

I’m the same way. I do pretty good on SWAT, certain maps I do better than others. But when I go out to any Slayer matches, I am brutal and its frustrating but I’m a casual player at best, so I play what’s fun for me and my son.

I absolutely love SWAT, it is fast paced and competitive. I do not believe it is a way to boost commendations, many gametypes can make it easier to obtain certain commendations and such…for example; infection can make it easier to obtain commendations like, pistol or medal commendations.

SWAT is perhaps my favourite gametype, again because of how fast these games run and because of the instant gratification one gets from putting metal through someone elses head.

Nah no way.
N00bies cant even shoot the head in SWAT
