SWAT and the Battle Riffle: Opinions

Games Other Halo
1

I’m curious to see what others think about the inclusion of a burst fire, aka the Battle Rifle, weapon in SWAT and rather they like it or not?

I do like the idea of load outs, though rather or not they should be in SWAT I’m not too sure about since its a game mode about keeping it simple and precision… Granted, two load outs and no option for custom load outs is keeping it pretty simple.

Personally, I think the battle rifle doesn’t really belong… It takes away from the precision element. Its no longer about “close but no cigar” and is instead about horseshoes and hand grenades. (aka close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades.)

Anyhow, what do you all thing?

Also, has anyone done a “damage table” on the BR and SWAT? If so does it only take one bullet to the head to kill or does it take two or more? (It seems like one and one only is the magic number but if it is two (or more) than I might be worried for no good reason.)

Edit: I added a poll. Pretty self explanatory but the lesser of two evils choice means you want to be able to chose some sort of load out.

I like the BR, and yes it’s because I do better with it than the DMR.

I don’t know if it’s my luck or not sometimes, but it seems like some SWAT matches are laggy or the other team is using something to help their aim. This LITERALLY happened to me once, where the guy in a split second turns around while I’m at the top of the closed ramp in Haven and he’s in the top middle, he doesn’t zoom in and gets a perfect headshot, all within like 1.3 seconds. Another instance is when someone aims 3 feet behind/right/left of me and still gets a headshot despite the fact that I’m not there anymore. Yet another time was when I was trying to improve with the DMR and I shoot someone 3 times in their head with it and they don’t go down. I die, respawn, shoot the same person in the center of their collarbone/sternum about 5-10 or so seconds after the current fight had ended, and they die. That last one, seriously, what the crap happened?
