I’ve always really liked the Swat gametype in Halo. I’ve played a ton of it in Halo 3, Reach, and 4. But there is something I cannot stand about Swat in Halo 5, and that something is Swatnums. Now Swatnums isn’t an inherently bad idea for a gametype. In fact its not actually a bad gametype at all. My issue stems from the fact that when I want to play Swat, I wanna play actual bloody Swat. You know, Battle Rifles, DMR’s, Carbines, the works. Today I played maybe 3-5 matches of Swat, and every single one of them was Swatnums. I honestly don’t know if I’ll even touch the Swat playlist again because I just don’t wanna deal with Swatnums again. Now i’ll admit, my frustration comes pretty much entirely from the fact that I suck at it. That’t not 343’s fault, its absolutely mine. But I just don’t wanna play a gametype that I know I’m really bad at. That’s why I stay away from Rumble Pit, and very rarely dabble in Breakout. But like I already said, I really like Swat!! I don’t wanna stop playing it, but Swatnums might just be what kills Halo 5 Swat for me.
So 343, please, please for the love of all that is good in the universe, please make Swatnums its own gametype. I don’t want you to take it out of the game, that would be horribly stupid. Just make it so I can play traditional Swat and without having to pray to whatever higher power their is that I don’t have to be subjugated to Swatnums one more time.
