Poll: Favorite Variant of Tactical Slayer (SWAT)

Sidekick has been the most fun for me. It has just the right accuracy at just the right ranges to force people to move around and be a bit more aggressive. BR swat just turns into a turtle fest of people trying to cross map each other which gets old after awhile.

I’d be cool with some kind of daily rotation like that.

I’d rather they kept BR as its own playlist and then they created another playlist for the rest.

I’m actually hating this, cause it makes challenges insanely hard to complete, which takes away all the fun from playing the event, don’t know what this weeks weekly challenge is but last weeks was kills with manglers which was a pain to get, now they added commandos and the stalker rifle which muddies the pool up more

But if i had to pick the commando then pistol which the pistol should be the secondary weapon already

Yeah BRs needs to remain as the default, but adding some sort of rotating ,extra variant on top could be fun.

I believe it’s just get headshots (idk how many)

For the weekly? I still got 2 more, the game robbed me of double kills so i got longer to grind :triumph: one i killed someone then me and another player traded but his kill registered first, even though the kill before still was on the screen, god i hate halo so much and those are words i never thought i would say

just had few rounds of manglers commando sidekick, and stalkers and out of all of them I enjoyed commando and stalkers the most. honestly I wouldn’t pick these weapons in quick play but in tactical these are rlly fun.

commando is actually good with you are able to keep steady and stalker is really fun bc u can see other ppl’s shots and try to figure out where they are.

sidekicks I feel are alright, but if the other team is pro at sidekick I’m guaranteed to die.

i never liked manglers tbh, like its fine, but I prefer not to have manglers

Dang, I can’t believe Sidekick is so low!

Surprised Sidekick is so low, I’ve been having genuine fun playing it, John Wick mode is fun!

They’re all fun in their own right.

  • BRs are OG, 'nuff said.
  • Sidekicks are snappy and intense.
  • Mangler is probably my favorite weapon in the series, except for the needler. Headshots with it are super satisfying.
  • Stalker games are visually enjoyable; I enjoy watching streaks of red cross the map (especially a small tight map). They are also satisfying headshots.
  • Commando… tbh haven’t played one yet but I’d guess it lands somewhere between the precision of the BR and pacing of the Sidekick, which is fine.

where’s the box for the DMR?

Not in the game.

still though, we need ol’ reliable back

My favorite is SWAT (DMR)

I am not the biggest fan on the mangler but it was the more enjoyable mode thus far. I think the pacing was the best.

Yeah I prefer the DMR too

reach on the 360 had the best swat I’ve ever played, i don’t like any of the weapons in this halo, they are all uninspired hunks of metal as the reach achievement stated the DMR was a more elegant weapon. BR swat is to easy all you do is pull the trigger and swipe the barrel left during the burst an you can get a kill maybe 2, the mangler is painful having account for projectile drop which should never be a thing in halo, pistol mode is just a spray and pray Yoink fest, and since i finished my challenges for the event last I’ll never have an opinion on the commando/ stalker modes.

Literally every Halo has some sort of arcing weapon.

the only “arcing” weapons in past halos were the H2 brute shot, fuel rod cannon, and the plasma launcher, do see a pattern here? none of them are precision weapons, all are splash damage.
