First off, I want to say I’m super pumped for halo 5!
But what I want to know is, why is SWAT being put in Arena? I personally feel like arena is about being able to outplay your opponents, and you can’t do that in SWAT. SWAT is all about whoever gets the first shot off, I thought Arena was supposed to be super competitive. I just know I’m going to despise having SWAT games vs. regular arena matches. Aw well, hopefully they do a separate playlist in due time.
SWAT is a separate playlist…there is no SWAT in Team Arena

Swat is one of the most competitive and intense gametypes. It take a lot of skill.

Ah, I apologize I should have done my research first. I was basing it off of the pre-release arena, my bad!
SWAT is not at all based on who can get the shot off first. Is it a major factor? yeah, but you also need to have superb map awareness, reflexes, and aim. Takes a good amount of skill if you ask me.
SWAT is a stand alone playlist
The fact that SWAT is a stand-alone and permanent (not a weekend rotational) playlist makes me very very happy. Here’s hoping it stays that way.
Swat is in arena but they also have a separate swat playlist, honestly swat has always been my favorite game mode of them all and if you play it enough you’ll notice yourself getting better because you get better on the shot placement.
SWAT is in a different playlist just like CTF and slayer and is kept excluded from the arena playlist.

Please fix this foolish post lol I was so frustrated reading even half of it :I
Arena is going to be competitive and all, but its not all one playlist. There’s going to be like 5-10 playlists under Arena; I hope rumble pit is ranked unlike the MCC where only the HCS playlist and like 4 others were ranked…r.i.p MCC
SWAT isn’t Arena, and takes minimal skill. There’s a reason it’s popular among casuals
swat is too easy. don’t even have to try in it. Pre release arena is just to get exposure to all the gametypes I guess… Should change at launch.

Swat is not a skillful gametype. Never has been and never will be. The fact that it is has it’s own launch playlist and gametypes like Assault aren’t even in the game is ridiculous.
SWAT was always top 3 in players online. One of the most popular playlists and should be a permanent arena playlist.
Swat is pure carnage
SWAT FTW
This isn’t halo 2 swat nor h3 or any halo really first off no aim assist makes for a tough first shot decides engagement plus the fact that the dedicated servers are practically lag free it makes for an intense game type. Don’t discount swat because of its previous incarnations. Side note woot diamond rank for team arena
