I thought in the legacy swat mode you could only get kills w/ headshots or melee from behind.
I noticed that I’ve died from body shots. I know the game mode’s description say “no shields” but it also mentions ”headshots” leading me to believe you could only get headshots like the legacy swat mode.
I also thought legacy swat only allowed melee kills from behind. Now I think melee is an instant kill from the front.
Lastly I just noticed my health doesn’t regenerate. Did they happen to leave any health packs around the map? 
Correct me if I’m wrong about any of this, thanks 
I always thought it was like that, could be wrong though, might need to go back to older games and check.

If I recall correctly, headshots has never been a requirement in order to get weapon kills in SWAT. However, the main distinction between body shots and headshots in SWAT is that a headshot will lead to an instant kill in contrast to body shots that won’t kill the player instantly.
If I recall correctly, the same thing do also apply to melee attacks that it has always been possible to perform melee kills in SWAT but this option has rarely been feasible due to headshots killing the target instantly.

Hey OP! I don’t recall any legacy mode, but as far as I remember, swat has never been headshots or melee from behind kills only. Body shots and regular melees can still kill you (in H3-H4 melees are instant kills while in Reach takes 2). Also, there are no health packs around map since shields always regenerate after 4/5 seconds.

Well I noticed before when my health was zero it never regenerated. Now I noticed if I get shot and have health it regenerates like normal.
