I was just thinking that if halo 4 has swat,which it should have,which precision weapon would they have as a default. I would hope the BR but i the DMR seems like it works better for swat. I havent really played swat in halo 3 so i wouldnt know what swat with a BR is like. oh and is there a place to check out some of the known halo 4 weapons.
ah carbine maybe
That’s an interesting question. When I played Halo 3 SWAT I would always use the 3-shot sweep. Where I wouldn’t aim at people’s heads. I would just keep my reticule at head level and sweep by people when they showed up and shoot past them and get kills without really trying. When Reach made me use the DMR at first I was like, aww crap, but weirdly it actually made me better at regular slayer games because then I learned how to headshot people and do it quickly, accurately, and while under pressure.
I am hoping for variants with both. Halo 3 SWAT was tons of fun, the BR kills were easy and the pistol kills weren’t all that hard either. Reach made things a little difficult until you got used to the new way everything worked out. But what I really want back and I nerd raged when I didn’t get them in Reach was Shwatty SWAT, a moronic version of SWAT that was so much fun to play.
DMR is better suited to swat due to its single shot firing and its slower rate of fire (when compared to the carbine). With BR you can swipe your shot or even adjust your shot mid-fire. Carbine would make a really great variant but by default its fast firing rate would incite a lot of spam. The DMR’s single shot means its all or nothing.
I’ll still be using my DMR, She’s my pride and joy.
Regular swat should only be DMRs and Carbines as they are single shot. The BR with its burst fire/spread is almost cheating and BR swat should be its own gametype.
Assault Rifle!
Yeah, but a BR burst is roughly the same as a single DMR bullet.

That would be a hilarious gametype-Sloppy Swat Assualt

AR with headshot ability = WIN
