Subject: Swat or Slayer ... which one requires more sklll

I was having a discussion with a buddy when we were both online today, he loves slayer while I play pretty much only SWAT. So we go into a discusion about the merits of both.

I say SWAT is way harder, because:

1. You have to have way more skill to hit them once before they hit you once.
2. There are no shields or ****** armor lock that you can use to save your ass when you are getting tuned up.
3. There are no grenades and other explosives that make up for a lack of gun skills.

Now for the things I dont like about SWAT

1. Easy for a teammate to be a douche and betray you.
2. If you get spawn trapped you are totally ******

All in all I think swat requires far more gun skils..thoughts?

Forget it man, and get with the countdown. Shake this square world and blast off for Kicksville.

Reach host ranking algorithm: (a*quit_percentage + b*isMexican + c*(1/KDR) + d*hasGuest) * 100
where a > b = d > c

I have quite a few thoughts, but all of them are very, very insulting towards you.

I'm just going to say Slayer (because that's the correct answer) and leave.

Slayer requires a larger set of skills including grenade bounces, power weapon rush, power weapon timing, actual use of power weapons, choosing an armor ability, using an armor ability amoung other things.

SWAT has a smaller set of skills which include the ability to quickly and accurately aim and fire at a small target, when to sprint, where enemies and team mates are based on sound alone, when to jump or crouch amoung other things.

Comparing the two is kind of like asking which takes more skill building a house or being a quarterback? Building a house has a larger set of skills, plumbing, electrical, framing, duct work, et cetera than being a quarterback but no matter what some people do they will never be able to be a quarter back just because they can't quickly and accurately throw a ball at a small target. Kinda of like no matter what some people do they will never be good at SWAT because they can't quickly and accurately hit a small target.

It doesn't take "skill" to one-shot somebody with the Godzilla-sized hitboxes backing you up.

<(-_-)> Teh mokey is not amused

Slayer, you have to be consistent with your shots and its much harder to kill two shielded players than 2 unshielded ones. You can't fluke your way to 5 headshots.

SWAT is all about who sees who first. Yea there is some skill involved, but not much. Slayer takes more skill.

swat takes skill to an extent, but host and conncetion are more important than your actual skill in that playlist.

Swat is full of girls which automatically makes me think "slayer", if for no other reason.

As long as SWAT has bloom, Slayer will ALWAYS take more skill. And that's coming from a SWAT guy.

  • 12.14.2011 6:52 AM PDT

I consider it suicide to move around the map without shields, so SWAT usually turns into me camping in some corner. Slayer has power weapons that reward map movement.

Just from my personal preference playing squad and aniv squad and slayer. Swat is hard I mean one shot you're dead. I get wrecked on swat not slayer though.

Just find a camping spot where you'll always see the enemy first.

My KD is better in Swat so that's part of my reasoning. It's a game of who is better at camping and headshots. There's nothing else to it.

I played Swat the other day after playing ZB so much and was just lost with the bloom. Not sure how much I'll play it now.
