//SWAT: Why it could be GREAT!//

I think SWAT could be be GREAT in War Games if 343i pulls it off right, which I have faith in! I would be very surprised if 343i didn’t bring back the SWAT playlist, since it is one of the best and most popular game types in Halo! Here are some reasons of why SWAT could be great!

Variety of Precision Weapons:
Just think about it! The Battle Rifle, Designated Marksmen Rifle, Light Rifle and Carbine in SWAT! XD

Custom Loadouts:
Choose your favorite precision weapon that fits your own and unique SWAT playing style!

Great Maps:
Haven seems like the perfect map for SWAT, having it be a mid-range and long-range shooting style map! Adrift also looks like it could work quite well for SWAT!

Armor Abilities:
Promethean Vision?

New Point System:
Better Kills = More Points!

Do you think that SWAT could work well in War Games with all the new features? Post in the comments below!

Totally!!! Swat would be friggin amazing! Personally, I am not the best at it, but love it! With all these precision weapons, it will be just amazing!

DMR or BR starts only

> DMR or BR starts only

Why not the Light Rifle or Carbine?

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.

Anyone else read op in an overly yelling manner.

Lol, anyways, I don’t really like swat. It’s boring and way too simple. I don’t see what the big whoop is when you added other precision weapons. Swat just couldn’t be better than it is. It’s just headshots…

“It’s just headshots…”

That’s the best part. Not only does it test and train your reaction speed and accuracy, but it keeps you sitting on the edge of your seat the entire game. It’s enthralling!

Maybe not the Carbine, since you could spam shots with that easily. But other than that I agree 100%, it should be brought back, but everybody has to have the same weapon, no choices.

I guess swat just doesn’t amuse me because getting a headshot should be normal. It’s what many of us have been doing for years. Now I don’t have to work for my headshots; I can just walk in with intent of getting a headshot. I’ll agree that it challenges reaction time and accuracy, but that’s all in slayer n then some …

… That didn’t make any sense at all. Getting a headshot IS normal. How does SWAT discredit it as “normal?” You still have to work for headshots; how is it any different? SWAT is great because, unless you pull a headshot, you’ll lose the gun duel. It’s not like that in Slayer.

Carbine SWAT!!! :smiley:

Honestly it doesn’t seem like it would be a problem to me. Though it would be cool if in the ‘SWAT Playlist’ that different votes would come up for ‘SWAT BRS,’ ‘SWAT DMRS,’ ‘SWAT Carbine,’ ect. But it would be cool to chose your SWAT weapon in my opinion!

Swat just isn’t as diificult to me as slayer. To “me” it actually takes a little pressure off since all I have now to worry about is a single headshot. I never did see swat as a special playlist. I only go in it for very easy precision challenges. When did I ever say swat discredits a headshot being normal. I said its been traditional to get a headshot in slayer, so doing so in Swat shouldn’t be that different, therefore it’s normal to me. I don’t value swat. It IS NOT tough to me at all. It’s too easy and boring.

Make it so it’s BR starts with DMR’s and covie carbines as the map weapons, and a light rifle as a power weapon. That would make it balanced and interesting.

Just have it a normal playlist with ‘SWAT DMR’s’, ‘SWAT Magnums’, ect.

Good idea OP, but Carbine seems both to fast and to random to be used in swat imo, I’d rather see just precision weapons like BR and DMR, then again change is good ^^
Provision could certainly remove a bit of the habitual SWAT camping, and force player to move more and not just camp popular corners ^^

With BRs you could miss with two bullets of the burst and kill with the third. BRs and single shots should be separate otherwise it will be everyone using the BR for the reason I gave you.

What if it takes three bullets to the head to kill them? I think that’s how it was in Halo 3…

This. BR Swat should have it’s own list. Putting it with the DMR/Carbine Swat would make it a cheat.

Calm down with the ///'s there.
