Cause I’m not. Even the rewards are meh.
God is there anything entertaining about this game at all that doesn’t instantly get ruined???

Swat is terrible in infinite. I’m not looking forward to playing this event.

I just do not understand why they think the community would want a sweat fest for an event. An event is meant to be fun, offer something different, something to attract people to the game. Tactical slayer in general is an awful mode, but as an event? Lunacy

The fact that they literally changed the name of “swat” to tactical slayer lets you know 343 is all about “seeming deep” yet we can clearly see how shallow the company really is…

I’m fine with Tactical Slayer myself.
Unless its on Behemoth.
I absolutely hate playing Tactical Slayer on Behemoth.

I just had a pretty good time with Tactical Manglers on Streets. But it’s pretty easy to have a good time on Streets no matter what the mode is

It’s utter pain and I hate it. I’m only playing for the event pass. After that I’m done with Tac. Ops, it’s a trash mode and full of cheaters.

Here’s the thing.
I like the cosmetics, this is the best event cosmeticwise.
But what I hate about the event (and what ruins it for me [ and what I hated about the rest of the events] ) is that you are FORCED to play a certain gamemode to get the cosmetics, which is wrong and goes against what 343 said in the past.
And we have made this KNOWN; yet, they REFUSE to change it.
They aren’t even trying to hide it, all they want is our money and I am getting really close to the point of dropping the game completely

I am just working up to the helmet and armour coating.
Also I drew the short straw and got a challenge for getting a killjoy.

I enjoy SWAT or whatever its called in this game but the challenge system ruins it. If the challenges were all get x score, win x games, get x kills in SWAT I would have nothing to complain about. But having to earn a killjoy, or complete 2 games of oddball (aka quit 10+ games of quick play) to get more event challenges is lame
Am I the only one who wanted the events to actually be something weird and new? Just random little games that are fun, social and relaxing? A couple of examples I just thought up:
Pin the tail on the donkey - everyone starts with only plasma grenades apart from one guy, the donkey. The donkey has two times speed and a bigger jump. The aim of the game is to escape being stuck for as long as possible and you accumulate time, like oddball. Whoever sticks you becomes the donkey, and so on. Whoever gets the most time wins. As many players as possible, for the chaos factor
Dodgeball - everyone spawns with power coils on opposite ends of the ‘court’, play dodgeball
Ping pong - Repulser starts. Two ‘goals’ on either side, use the repulsers to try and score goals with a ball
I mean. Those are just spending 20 seconds thinking about it. That’s the sort of thing I would actually pick up and play. It would keep things fresh. Events should not just be standard modes that we play all the time. Even just bring back grifball, infection, some of the classics

I don’t mind when it’s the BR but give me a random weapon that doesn’t change on respawn paired with weapon specific challenges and that’ll be a no from me coach. It’s either a poor attempt at inflating playtime numbers or an odd move to encourage game hopping. Regardless, the game doesn’t feel fun because unlike Attrition players can drag the game out. And I certainly don’t feel like game hopping or playing until I fall into a match whose weapon is compatible with whatever god forsaken “Get <UNSIGNED_INT> kills with <WEAPON_NAME>” quest in my queue.

Only did one match so far and enjoyed it. But I was also the best player on both teams and held a 20:5 kill to death ratio.

If there was ever a post that embodies why people want forge, this one right here would be it. I mean you wouldn’t get cosmetics but creativity and fun custom game modes describes a large piece of the forge community.
Just give them another 2 years to release the rest of the game lololololol
They don’t have 2 years. In 12 months, this games tech is going to be obsolete and will be bashed by the next big game.
Oh trust me i know lol. Its already dying

I am enjoying it so far. Don’t know what it is, but I enjoy Infinite’s version of SWAT (when I’m not stuck on Behemoth and Launch Site) more than any previous version of the gamemode. I also like the more grounded rewards rewards this time in comparison to those of the previous events. SWAT manglers I find to be extra fun (so far) because it plays about as differently from the other two as possible, as the nature of the weapon means you have a lot more freedom to move around the map; I imagine I’ll like Behemoth and Launch Site a hell of a lot more because of it.
As a disclaimer though, RNGesus was very kind to me with my challenges this week, no grinding for killjoys or backsmacks. The former are really obnoxious in that they rely on the skill of your enemies rather than your own. It wouldn’t be that bad in BTB, but with 4v4 it is genuinely awful. For backsmacks, that just doesn’t mesh well with SWAT at all.
I like events such as Tac Ops, and play them only for the challenge. These events always help me to learn something new. I did not know there were rewards for the event until I saw it mentioned in a youtube video.
