Why SWAT?

Anyone who votes for SWAT or Team Snipers has a 95% chance of sucking at it, pure fact.
Everytime I end up playing it and winning, I have at least 60% of our team's kills.
SWAT sucks. I want to play Halo not Call of Duty.

I don't mind SWAT that much. It's made me much better with the DMR overall, a lot more accurate with headshots. However, I was very happy when Bungie said they were removing SWAT from the Team Slayer playlist and making a dedicated SWAT list. It gets annoying fairly quickly.
The question should be, WHY SNIPERS??? Really??? One day i played 5 snipers games one after the other!!!!
I don't mind SWAT even though most of my friends complain about it, I'm no king of fps games that's for sure, but even I can enjoy it sometimes...tbh, it actually makes it a level playing field because when you do have shields it is those dominant players that tend to destroy but it's a shot in the dark to your skill and K/D in SWAT. I think it's interesting but there's only one map its any good on, I forget which one but its part of Forge World....just don't remember what part but it's a wide open field.
Swat was only introduced into Halo 3 which moved into Reach cause some idiot thought it'd be the "best idea evar!" and it spread like the bloody bubonic plague through the community who thought this was "pro" or "legit". This game type removes everything that makes Reach awesome. The armor abilities that change every situation. Only thing good in SWAT, I will admit, is no motion sensor.
I hate SWAT and snipers, i play halo for the fast paced, grenades going off everywhere holding down the trigger spray and pray fun, not sit around for headshots, i will be doing plenty of that when black ops comes out
please. let us trade, i would much rather have snipers instead of swat, regardless of disliking both.Rock Beefchest said:
OT: i get swat literally 9/10 games, not joking one bit, it gets fucking annoying as flipping hell because it turns into one massive COD halo game, in which its not even halo anymore, and im not complaining out of my ass, 99% of the time i get 1st place because im pretty good at the headshot and know how to sneak where people aren't looking, but regardless its still annoying, its like me picking up my dogs shit, im good at it, but do i like doing it because im good at it? fuck to the no. it always ends up like the OP said, one massive spawn killing game, especially if someone leaves from one team, then it is common knowledge as to where the people will spawn and how to get them with ease. the whole fucking point of halo is to be strategic in your time, not strategic with your precision, which is the whole point of why i've stopped playing pc shooters and call of duty, but of course it followed me right to halo...
i really can't wait till swat gets its own fucking playlist style, so the fucking COD hardcore kids can leave my halo playlists alone. i want my team slayer and slayer pro's back please.

Ugh, when people vote for SWAT on HUGE maps, it makes the game boring and campy.
In all honesty, I prefer SWAT on Ivory Towers (or whatever the devil it's call now). Any other game type on a map like that is usually a grenade spam-fest.
SWAT's fun to me because I'm good at it.
Uhm, that's bullshit. SWAT started in Halo 2. It was a very popular game type in Halo 2 which is why it's carried over into the other Halos.Free Thinker said:

Personally, I hate SWAT. It's boring, bland, and lacks any kind of variety. SWAT is basically an extreme form of a pissing contest, but with a severely unbalanced playing field. It's the exact opposite of the type of gameplay I look for when I play Halo. But then, I hate a lot of what's in Reach's most popular multi-player modes. I don't hate it as much as I did Halo 2 and Halo 3, not even close to my loathing of those two games, but a lot of what's in there is essentially Bungie's way of saying to the old-school Halo fans, "Sorry for adding such shitty mechanics in the last few Halo games, so here is a game that's vaguely reminiscent of what people loved about the Halo series in the beginning."
Sorry. Had to rant about this eventually. I miss Halo:CE. Halo Wars and ODST were the closest I've come to having as much fun with a Halo game as I had with CE.
I don't care for it to be honest. Really, my heart belongs to the big games of CTF and the 2v2 arena.
I love how everyone in this thread says that anyone whom likes Swat in Halo is either
a.) A f***ing retard
b.) Loves COD/MW and wants halo to be like it
c.) All the above
No option for "Likes it just because" or "Its all about personal Choice, and he/she just happens to like it"

Its more of all the games coming out between Halo 2, 3, and Reach that use the whole "3 shots to kill someone" thing. Too much of it and now it feels bland. Thats my theory at least.LogicNProportion said:
OT: I don't like either. Thankfully in the last weekly update they said they would take it out of all gametypes and make it its own playlist. That way the rest of us can enjoy plenty of SWAT-free games.
Its here, in case anyone wants to read. You have to scroll down a bit. [http://www.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&cid=28836].
I liked it a lot more when it was its own seperate playlist and you could dabble in it whenever you wanted to, being forced to play it just because 3 other people do is kind of a drag.
