Subject: SWAT sucks!

well the title pretty much says it all, but i'll elaborate a bit.

i hear ppl complaining about things like slow game play, "that -blam!- with the rockets" and "omg -blam!- sword guy!" and other such power weapon whores.
people complaining about jet pack and armor lock

then there's Swat. Swat is fast paced game play, no power weapon whores and no armor lock noobs or jetards. so why do i hear so many ppl say swat sucks?

if you cant present an argument other than "swat sucks" i'm just gonna assume you tried swat once, got your ass handed to you and gave up on it. so don't bother posting unless you can at least explain why you think swat sucks like a normal person without resorting to simply saying "because it sucks" or stupid crap like that

The only reason most ppl think it sucks is that it's 2 easy 2 die. But other than that I don't mind it.

Because SWAT is too fast and too easy. Anyone can make a headshot. Anyone can come around a corner and see someone first (which is random).

Even default takes more skill because it incorporates the same skills SWAT stresses and more. All in all, SWAT is more of a casual gametype because of all the skills it lacks.

Ooh, I love those people, the ones who decide to throw everything and the kitchen sink at you, as if an M16 does anything to a T-90. Oh, MLG player with noobtube instead? Congrats! You blew off one of my ablative plates!

Gun, meet Bad Guy.

Swat sucks.

Swat is all about connection and who sees who first. The only skill involved is aiming.

Hardly even aiming if you're like most people and just run around with your reticle at head height

Swat can be tough at times. Sometimes it's hard to get a headshot on some dude jumping around like a kangeroo. And with the DMR's ability to snipe from across just about any map, it's hard to stay alive.

To the guys talking about luck, corners and holding the reticle at headheight, if you jump around the corners and anticipate someone being there, it's not really luck anymore. It's the player being smart.

As a random, it's a challenging playlist when you play a team of 4.

Your opinion is invalid.

Meh. SWAT is okay.

Life is a journey, if you spend all of it with your nose in your map, you may miss some of the best parts.

Why SWAT doesn't suck:
-sprint works
-bloom works
-melee works
-grenades work...because they're not there
-fast paced gameplay

Reach SWAT is the best SWAT so far. The only real problems are strafe acceleration and lack of good maps but those problems permeate the entire game.
