Team Swat April Update

I asked awhile ago on here for Team SWAT to get updated.

And well,

They are only removing maps :frowning:

Please vote/ add suggestions below if you would like to see more maps added to take place of Uncaged and Pinnacle

I haven’t seen any custom maps made specifically for SWAT, but the playlist definitely needs some new maps! With only around eight or so (too tired to think of the correct number) maps to play on, all of which are default maps, the gameplay gets a little stale after a while.

The Pit worked very well for SWAT in H3, I would like to see a forged variant return, similar to the one of the MLG playlist.

Not really a SWAT guy, a few matches here and there for sure, but I like my shields. This is a sci-fi shooter afterall, but with regard to SWAT members who play regularly, you should get more maps… my vote went for the lonely soul that asked for remakes only. All it takes is a tweak here, and remake there, and you might find a whole new like on SWAT… you never know.

90+% of my games are SWAT. I love the gametype. power weapons and tons of nades and AA…just too much crap going on, although BTB is quite fun at times but I love my SWAT. YES more maps are soooooo needed!!! I wish there was a SWAT DLC playlist, I never play the new maps because all 8 players need the DLC, very rarely happens.

Got to agree with you guys, more maps are needed, it seems like i’m forever playing reflection, uncaged and asylum. Nothing else. People are just voting for them because that’s what is available after choosing none of the above and the next page shows almost one of the maps i mention before. No variation at all. It’s getting frustrating to play same maps. I wish there was more great community maps being used in the playlists

Adding things to a playlist is so much better then taking them away, while I do not play swat that often (terribad at headshots) I too was disappointed that some of 343s first tinkering in one of the most popular playlist was to remove maps =/

Who knows, maybe they have some new maps just around the corner for you, one can only hope.

Removing Pinnacle and Uncaged isn’t the greatest loss to the playlist ever. They are AWFUL maps, really.

That only appears to be an opinion of the highest level players. Maps that are often referred to as the worst maps by competitive players (I know, I hate the labels, but its an apt way to group players) are in general some of the most popular outside that subset of the population. Swordbase comes to mind, on forums, lambasted as total trash, out in the trenches of playlist like LD and TS, almost voted in every time.

Its an odd dynamic and I think is the by-product of reducing this game down to a science.

Swat makes up 80% of my MM so im disapointed they are removing Pinnacle, its a good map. The problem is the people that lose just come here and complain about spawns etc. Get good or go else where.

SHHHH, too much truth, it will offend :wink: and your name is awesome.

Welcome to Waypoint =)

Plunder - I’m far from a ā€œhighest level playerā€ but I think I can count on one hand the number of good games of SWAT I have had on those two maps. I get what you’re saying but those two maps really do just stink all around. I’d pick (and have!) Swordbase over those two maps every day of the week for SWAT.

That said, obviously there are people who love them and I do feel bad that they are losing their favorite maps but I’m hopeful that new maps make it in soon. Or that DLC weighting is upped even more. I’d love some more SWAT on Unanchored or even the Anniversary maps!

Oh yes please, this would be so great!

Shhh! I’m trying to get back on Matt’s good side so he’ll give me my dog back! ;D

I just don’t understand why they took out uncaged and kept reflection…

Pinnacle was a terrible map for swat, uncaged was decent but I feel SWAT will be a better playlist overall now.

SWATguns!

Eh. I don’t like the majority of maps that are in SWAT at the moment since they seem to all promote camping, and I’m not a fan of how it’s non-TU/ZB meaning when faced with multiple opponents you’re only going to be able to take out one of them unless you’re lucky regardless of skill levels involved.

I only play swat and therefore would love to see more maps introduced. We need ~10 stable maps in this playlist and I’ll say we are a few short.
