I didn’t play for about 3 months but when i recently came back and started playing swat i noticed the only maps i’ve been able to get are countdown, Sword base, and arena zealot. not that i mind those maps but after tons of games i never once saw reflection. I know asylum and pinnacle were removed but has reflection also been removed?
i meant to say pinnacle and uncaged not asylum
I’m not sure about Reflection. The Playlist page hasn’t been updated yet. I think it’s still in, though.
I vaguely remember a post from a Bungie employee… It was a long time ago, back in Optimatch (rest in peace). Guy said that the Matchmaking servers adjust a map’s probability based on its voting record. If it never gets voted, it’ll stop showing up.
I can’t think of any reason why everyone would mass-avoid Reflection, but that could explain it, maybe. :\

Really? No wonder Hemorrhage shows up so much in BTB.

That can’t be it. I used to play reflection in about half the swat matches i played. I bet they made it harder to come across due to so many complaints about people camping. IDK but i liked pinnacle and uncaged for swat i think its extremely lame they removed those maps. I also don’t think there should be a 2 round limit on maps to vote on. there should be a round for every map with all different game types on each round. that’s this guys opinion anyway

Ugh, this really annoys me.
No wonder territories and assault show up so little in BTB. BTB should JUST be objective based gametypes, slayer is pointless in BTB.
I play SWAT alot (well i use to) and i noticed the same thing, except earlier this month when my friend and i were playing we never saw any other map besides Sword Base, Countdown and Arena Zealot.
Every choice selection had a version of those 3 maps to chose from, whether it was SWAT magnums or 3 Plots.
There was also an instance where we played on Sword Base 5 times in a row, and that was when my friend and i realized something was up with the selections. SWAT isnt as fun as it use to be, especially when you play on the same map 5 times in a row and when the selection is limited to 3 or 4 maps.
I was wondering if there were any plans to add some community created maps to Swat, like they did for the Slayer playlists a while back. Anything new would be cool and would be a great change of scenery thats for sure lol.
Ive always liked SWAT, but lately it just hasnt been fun because of the limitations when it comes to map choices.
