Its not the warthog, its the puma

Alright, well atleast its not the hugest thing that we have lost, hopefully they'll compensate like they did with the Halo 3 Beta and give us a few extra days to play it!

Though, it'll be up when its ready to go, but its alright.

SWAT means Special Weapons Attack Team.
And i love swat, loved it since halo two and was hopeful that you'd put it on halo 3.

I've always thought SWAT meant Special Weapons And Tactics. However I don't live in the US and here in the Netherlands we don't have such a thing as SWAT so I might be wrong :P

I also believe SWAT=Special Weapons And Tactics

  • 03.23.2008 4:20 PM PDT

Think, write, and reflect.

Yes, it is Special Weapons And Tactics not attack team. Additionally a growing number of law enforcement jurisdiction have established HRT Hostage Rescue Teams to deal with hostages and then not having a SWAT team or using the SWAT team for other jurisdictions.

Halo 3's version of SWAT is number one in my book. I hope to see it as a selectable choice in the perm playlists in the near future. I didn't want to put my controller down all weekend and even canceled a number of plans to play what I could of SWAT.

Excellent work bungie and crew in making this happen! Thank you!

I like the game, just not the maps we have it on. It doesn't work very well on the pitt, isolation, or epitaph. It will never ever be like it was on halo 2....

OK... I've been a veteran of SWAT since Halo 2...

Why did Bungie put infinite ammo? And grenades?!?! i've NEVER played SWAT with grenades before...

Also... elites... what fun is it when 80% of the people you fight can't be headshotted from behind... You LITERALLY have to jus tap shots into their back and hope you kill them before they turn around and kill you first... (My guy is only an Elite right now because i got sick of everyone i played having an advantage over me yesterday and last night, so i switched to an elite to level the field a bit)

And what's with the damage? Did bungie turn it down for the double exp or what? I mean, i don't recall every having to shoot someone 2 or 3 times in the face with no shields and a BR to get a kill...

Sometimes, i can oneshot a player from across the map, and other times i can spray and spray into the head of someone at point blank and they won't die...

Does anyone else have these problems while playing SWAT online?

It's called lag, dude.
And also, infinite ammo is way better and grenades make it more fast paced, as it should be, and make camping harder.
