To the point. Yes I know swat is about spawn location and spawn killing is a big part of it.
Before all the tough guy “veteran” players say I suck or I don’t know how to play ill say this.
Im around onyx 1700 right now. Ive been playing SWAT for many years.
Ive beaten plenty of “Champion” fire teams,at least enough to know Im not trash.
I understand people have good days and bad days playing.
I understand spawn trapping and all the strategy and concepts to SWAT.
With all that being said I think Halo 5 Swat is getting worse to the point of almost being broken.
First off all the search preferences are so inconsistent I don’t even know if they work at all.
Secondly, The spawn locations and the multiple spawn kills in a row happening in the same spot are ridiculous.
This goes both ways. Its at the point where Ill get 8 kills in a row all in the same spot because of it, and on the flip side Ill
get popped in the same spot and literally stack my corpses on top of each other.
For whatever reason I really loved these maps and swat at first and thought adding the DMR was excellent,
but Im rapidly falling out of love with it. The maps seem to be shrinking with the amount of spawn killing and lack of good gunfights going on
in higher level play. In past halos there was a good balance of both spawn trapping and high level gun fights. Now it seems as if its 80% Spawn trapping,
and 10% gunfighting,and 10% actual skill.
I know I’m going to get a lot of -Yoink- from everyone,especially all the “PRO” guys who will just say I suck,and Id say don’t waste your time or my time.
I want to hear from people who actually have similar problems and or people who have potential solutions.
In my mind the best thing they can do is 2 fold.
First of all, enlarge the maps a little bit. Meaning, Keep the lay out the same but expand the open spaces and create a little more space between starting spawns and respawns.
Secondly, Consider some kind of starting over shield that also doesn’t allow you to shoot or get shot until it wares off. A one second shield would probably do the trick, Give me enough time to at least trade with someone if my whole squad is getting killed in the same exact spot.
Again, Ive been playing swat for a long time and at a relatively high level. It was never this bad,and it wasn’t this bad even a few months ago. Any thoughts or ideas would be welcome.
