anybody else notice the shotty starts in swat? First they ruin swat with nades, now adding shotguns? Please explain. Also, What is shwat?

Otherwise, looking forward to new playlists.

It's a playlist that was in Halo 2 swat called Shwaatguns where you have shotguns. It was great fun.

I would also like to add that ShWATguns sounds awesome!

That's what "ShWAT" is, the shottys.

I'm sorry, but this is a crappy update. At least MLG gets updated.

If you have the same emblem as me... then you probably jocked off of somebody who jocked it off of me.

Less BR starts in TS...

I like all the other updates. But this change alone... the bad in it outweighs all the other good.

A journey is always there so might as well go on a time trippin ride right?

I read the part it says about the maps and the title caught my attention.
It says Prince albums, NASA and Carbonite.
Prince albums and NASA is refering to the two new maps we've been hearng about, but CARBON? Hmmmm. Third Map?

Im ok with the 1v1, Im glad they thought it through to come up with the duel format. Its just going to get slightly difficult if its all AR starts, im thinking its going to draw a lot of people away. Which brings me to less BR starts in slayer... sad face.

Sigs just aren't what they used to be.

Thanks for the good read, Luke.

Pronounced: "may-zer"

I have a concern about Head to Head that I'm hoping Bungie can allay:


Assuming the score to win is 10, and one player, "Frank", has 9 kills, and the other, "Luke", has 8...
If Frank has a sniper rifle, and Luke manages to take him down to tie the score 9-9, when Frank respawns (at least in the default version of Duel), Luke instantly can see his waypoint, and snipe him in the face.

That seems like Luke has the unfair possibility of an easy second kill (to win the game), when he should have earned only one. Add to this the spawn points' not-so-unheard-of propensity to place you in harm's way when you respawn, and I imagine players could be somewhat frustrated.


Here are some fixes that I've thought of:
- Don't put one-hit-kill guns on the map
- Delay the waypoint on respawn by using "Advanced Respawn Settings"


Can I rest assured that this concern won't become a problem when Head to Head goes live?

1v1 better be BR starts...

  • 05.23.2008 7:34 PM PDT

Great update.
I'm glad a lot of issues are being cleared up, especially the question of elites in swat.
Hopefully we can now see some constructive activity in the forums instead of a bunch of whinging.

I'm really looking forward to the Rockets FFA. I got really excited when I read that!
