Wow, what a load of BS team swat has turned into, I remember when SWAT first came to H3, and it was definitely my favourite playlist, so much so that I did eventually acquire a level 40 in it.

Recently though it has turned into the worst biggest pile of host advantage bull-blam!-, because of simple connection issues, it always prioritizes foreign host so i end up pumping bullets into theirs heads with no result... Surprise surprise i get 1 shot all the time. I'm fed up with the playlist despite my love for the gametype. End of rant.

Any solutions anyone?

Hey.

This isn't a recent issue. If you didn't see this problem from the get go, you were probably pulling host a lot.

  • 08.26.2010 10:20 AM PDT

Hates to love and loves to hate.

I have a horrible connection and played foreigners constantly and still managed a 50 in it.I guess it was just easy for me compared to the other 50s I got but with enough practice its still pretty easy.

Team SWAT is like MW2. Every gun takes three bullets to kill, and if you have host you win the match.

well seeing as how the servers aren't what they use to be, you should have been prepared for this, SWAT has always been about the better host. Even when I got my 50 in it (Way before the TU2 update) it was all about host, try playing something else.

So, when did the servers change?

  • 08.26.2010 12:02 PM PDT

The server change did not affect matchmaking experience.

You're not good at Halo either.

Stop being so bad, then you'll stop being so mad.

I don't think a 40 in swat is bad..

It is something you have to live with. When its that easy to die, lag will always come in to play. Play as an Elite if you have to.

True, but this can be caused by lag,but SWAT is testing your insticts, you have to react quick etc.

Have you ever played 4v4 SWAT on LAN?

Makes me sick how good SWAT online could be.

Your host is foreing to other people. SWAT has always been like that. Sufficient skill negates the host.

We have the cheapest internet possible, and because my parents only use the internet to occasionally browse the news and stuff like that, I can't convince them to buy a better package.

Now, in the quantum moment before the closure, when all become one. One moment left. One point of space and time.
