Subject: Help me to get my friends away from SWAT

So, a few IRL friends of mine started to play Reach recently, and I enjoy being able to play with them, but they play nothing but SWAT and Living Dead! Any tips on how to make them play other playlists? This is really starting to piss me off.

They play what they want to and have fun in.. Try to bring them into other playlists and if they don't enjoy it than it is what it is.

So basically... Waypoint is pro-vanilla?

Waypoint isn't pro-anything so much as they're just anti-intelligence.

Don't play with them.

They probably tried team slayer and say all the armour lock and gheyness and decided to stick to swat.

I think it might be because they played a considerable amount of MW2, and they say they don't like dealing with shields. Thing is: they barely tried to play team slayer, and whenever I can get them to play, they go negative and jump back to SWAT.

Well there's your answer. They are used to the easiness of Call of Duty. They don't want to play anything other than SWAT because it is the most similar to COD. Try to get them to play Customs so they can practice and learn the basics of playing Halo.

They like the playlists that take the least amount of functioning brain tissue.

You can't change them. As soon as they need to work for kills or move and shoot at the same time they will give up.

Preferably non-retarded ones.
