I was suprised not to see this, because I really thought it was kind of a common game because it's incredibly fun. But what me and my friends like to play is a game we call counterstrike (obviously you'd have to change the name). It's a team game (works best with 4 v 4) like Swat (no shields, battle rifles only, no radar) but each player has only three lives, so when you die three times you're out. Also, to make things even better, it's one bomb assault so one team is on offensive the other on defensive. This way, you don't need to kill the entire other team in order to win, just distract them and have someone plant the bomb. We mostly only play it on two maps, foundation and midship, but I guess it could work on other maps (just make sure there's a decent variety of ways to plant the bomb).
I'd love to see it in Halo 3, or even new Halo 2 Matchmaking, but it's a game you can set up and run fine in Halo 2 Custom games without relying on the "honor" system, unlike Zombie (which is another party favorite of mine).
