swat is 2 easy


you won less than 50% of your swat games. you are teh fail



I enjoy swat. I've heard alot of complaining about elites, but having played as both I didn't really notice a drastic difference. From behind is a little tougher. There were definitely alot of complaints about it taking 2-3 headshots to take someone out, sometimes inexplicably. I was on the beneficial end of a few encounters so I understand that complaint.

I think it's a little harder than H2's, since it's not as easy to sweep target headshots. The grenades are nearly pointless and could probably be taken out.

I hope the playlist is added, but I won't hold my breath. It's a nice change of pace sometimes and helps build skill in delivering headshots.

ya bungie shouldnt bring back team swat all there is kids boosting in it all day so dont bring it back


First of all, stop saying that it will be easy to level, because if ti is easy for one team it's just as easy for the other team, therefore it will still be a race about who gets to 50 first and thereefore who gets a chance to rank up and who doesn't, just how it works in any other playlist. Next, what is the problem of people ranking easily (as I said about it's not easier than any other playlist but ok for this time I'll just your argument to demonstrate what I mean). I think you need to look at why you are playing this game, most people play a game for fun and ranking up is something that can be used for enjoyment as well but shouldn't be the main reason why you are playing, if it is then you are most likely playing 24/7. This game is meant for fun, just like most other games and you shouldn't really care too much about your own rank even though I can understand that being a General can be quiet fun in a few occasions. However I just don't think you should bother about other people's skill. I mean I think it's alot more important that you keep playing for fun rather then when you're totally bored but just keep playing to get to a certain rank. Don't bother about ranks too much, don't care about other people's rank AT ALL and play this game for fun, not for fame.

i agree Swat was really the main reason i started playing halo. halo 2 introduced me to it an its all i played... after getting halo 3 i was dissapointed in the fact they didnt have it. So you see Swat mean alot to me. and if thats the case it probably means alot to other as well.

Can we get some information on what is going on please? Swat is down.. thats all we know (I skimmed through the forum and didn't see anything else (correct me if I'm wrong please)) I'm interested to know why it's down? When it'll be back (ETA)? What is going to be our "make up" (I'm shooting for a week of Swat or just making it a play list (not double EXP obviously)? And any other info Bungie can provide on our long wait for Swat.

  • 03.24.2008 5:03 AM PDT

oh and swat is a great game. For those of you who think the BR is inaccurate just learn how to use it other people have and can do excellent with it. I'm not saying I do great, but when I don't do good, I don't blame it on the weapon. I blame it on the user why don't you all do the same.

Great work Bungie, you guys rock (get swat up quick please)

  • 03.24.2008 5:10 AM PDT

In this great future you cant forget your past

If the carbine was on the map as a pick-up I could see that - but don't bash SWAT cause you be missin the skillz to own teh nubz - SWAT needs a place in matchmaking - if Rocket Race is in there why no swat

i was so stoked when i saw the SWAT update - it was a long standing H2 fav of mine. i picked up a couple of double kills sweeping the BR's 3 round burst across a group of enemies.

i did enjoy the carbine it H2 swat. i was afraid my trigger would wear out using it though.

Loved playing it Friday and Saturday. This playlist actually brought me back to loving Halo 3 so it would be fantastic to see it in the everyday hopper.

Those who die, will live,
those who live, will die

Yeah, swat is an amazing game type, and I was wondering if you could pleeease make it permanent? it's really fun and fast paced, improves on people's accuracy a lot more, and it makes people have a bigger rush of adrenaline, the fact that you've got no armour, only a little extra health, no motion sensor, all you have is a BR and magnum and you can only see what's infront of you, meaning you constantly have to check all sides, before entering a room you need to take a quick peek inside etc, you need to use tactics (e.g throw a grenade on a part of the map away from you to distract the enemy).

It's all amazing, and an original game type, rather than usual slayer with shields and default weapons. Plus, it makes maps that most people wouldn't like, good! e.g Isolation, never really liked it, but with swat it's amazing in my opinion, along with guardian (although I'd still pay $10 for that single lockout map from halo 2, even if you kept the graphics crap on it and made no updates to it).

Thank you very much for Team Swat now I'm sad that its over it was very fun and I can't wait to play it again. I think that you should make it an actual playlist. Lots of people would like it.
Anyway thank you again!!

Something was messed up with the playlist i don't think it will be back during the weekday though honestly. Everyone would be a General in like 3 days of playing.

I hope they bring it back... but only as normal xp. Also they should only count the weekend play in their consideration for prizes.
