Taking out SWAT is lame in my opinion.

I mean, seriously, what the hell was the point of resetting the invisible/unranked ranks and then showing the rank/making it ranked?

Just collecting data, were we?

Oh well, everything else is tops.

Pretty sad to see SWAT go as well. I'm also kind of disappointed that they're taking Carnage out. Had some pretty good runs with a 5 man team from teh clan.

im pretty happy team swat is gone. seems like that was the playlist all the modders swarmed to and get their ranks up which was annoying as hell. and i bet that was a factor in removing it from the playlists.



You're dumb. If that was the playlist that all the bridgers and modders flocked to, why wouldn't you just play something else, since everything else would be devoid of cretin life?

SWAT wasn't the only playlist to get raped by cheaters. It was just the worst.


BTW, please go back to school and learn your punctuation.

yes, i agree swat will be missed. it WAS one of the greatest gametypes until the cheaters took it over. But why take it out because of them? Won't they merely move to another section of the matchmaking system? Please Bungie, SAVE OUR SWAT!

And as RexSTi said, Bregen "YOU'RE DUMB!"
god you're such a selfish d-bag.

No I don't want to join your group/clan/cult.

I hated that update. No more Actionsack really pisses me off. Why would I want to play a competitive version of those games? It makes no sense!

In Halo3 I think u should be able to dual weild a ball or a flag or a bomb. I was playing Halo 2 in action sack last night. One of the games were balltackular and i thought it would have been cool if i could dual weild the ball to get double time or have the ball and then dual weild a weapon that way i would have more defense. Just imagine how much funner it would be if u could have an Smg and a flag at the same time. I also think it would add a little bit more strategy to the game. For example if ur spawn weapon was a battle rifle, u could get the flag person to hold a plasma pistol. They could shoot the people with their plasma pistol while the person with the battle rifle shot the other people in the head. It might add a little bit of ease for capturing the flag. The other day i got really angry because i tied 3 flag games in a row. If u had an smg or a dual weilded weapon it might be easier to get the falg back to the base. I also think u should still be able to dual weild while being in a warthog. I hate have the perfect dual combo and then having ot drop it to get a ride. Anyways i can't wait till halo 3 comes out but i have to get my 360 first.

think in halo 3 multiplayer u could be more than just the spartan or elite, Being a marine or a brute may be cool. I also think it would be cool if u could use the camoflauge for the elite or the flash light for the spartan. It may add more strategy to the game. For example u could use camo while entering the base to capture the flag and get the flag being undetected. And in halo 3 if there was the ability to be a human or an elite i think it would be cool to also have a specail ability for them. Maybe the brutes could run fast for a certain amount of time and for the marines u could maybe have like night vision or somethin. In campaign i always see them with cool gadgets on their helmets. In halo 2 i was dissapointed that there was no way of driving the shadow fehicle that u carry all those covenant. Another cool feature for halo 3 would be to lie down. I think it might be fun in halo 3 if there was like a transport vehicl that had no gun but could hole like 8 people and u could just dump the people out at the base and capture the flag. A peak or lean feature would be better too, i hate being pinned down, wounded, and hiding with the sniper rifle. While hiding i would always love to be able to peak around the corner to snipe the person shooting me instead of exposing my whole body to try and get them. I think it would also be cool if u could throw boxes or the explosive fusion cores. In halo 2 it always takes me so long to move a small box with the sword, i think it would be more fun to be able to throw the boxes or fusion cores at people. U could also place the fusion core in a certain spot in the base that way when some one comes in u could use it as a trap.

DO NOT TAKE OFF TEAM SWAT! I AM NOT GOING TO PLAY HALO ANYMORE IF YOU TAKE IT OFF!! thats the best playlist, take off btb slayer, multi team even team snipers but not swat, why take off something people love, especially since its ranked, everyone goes crazy about it. You guys are not making any sense, might as well take off team slayer then since you guys need to prepare every one for the holiday season. The reason your doing this does not make sense to me about the people being online, wouldn't that make people more annoyed and not play anymore since it is gone? well hope you chance your mind on that.

Dude, that is the freakin NOOB COMBO, only noobs need to dual wield with the flag or ball, its not that hard to kill them with the ball. plus you could just drop the ball and shoot them dead, then pick up the ball again. I agree with the fact that you need to holster both your dual wield weapons when entering a vehicle. dropping one is lame cause you go to the other side of the map and are practically unarmed.

TAKING OFF TEAM SWAT WAS THE LAMEST MOVE BUNGIE HAS EVER MADE.

During the holiday season people will get Xbox 360s and since Halo 2 is totally better on the 360 they will play it, so WHY WHY WHY does team SWAT have to go. More people will play because more consoles will be sold. I agree with everyone else on this forum. We all have said that Team Swat needs to stay. It's one of the more popular gametypes. Listen to your fans Bungie. Keep Team SWAT. I don't think putting SWAT in another category like team training is a good idea that means we will not get to play it as often. I'll say it again. Put Team SWAT back in its own category and at least you did one thing good by bringing back swat magnums.

Are you kidding me? Why would you remove Team SWAT it's the best playlist. It's the only reason why I haven't completely stopped playing this game.

QUESTION # 1: WTF and why why why. DO NOT remove Team Swat.

QUESTION # 2: will our ranks still be the same for Team SWAT when it comes back?

Good God you guys SWAT is popular but its being removed FOR THE HOLIDAY SEASON. I'd bet money both SWAT and carnage will be back like mid to late january. Don't have an aneurism for gods sake...

TEAM SWAT was the only reason i was still playing Halo 2 on Live

Bungie, its decisions like this that make me wonder if you will actually learn from your mistakes, in this case making Halo 3 better than Halo 2.

Team Swat was what, the second most played playlist? why didnt you at least explain to us WHY it was removed, are you TRYING to get people to not play Halo 2 anymore?

One more dash in the loss column for Halo 2........

What is the (*******) point in removing team swat, it was so fun to play and you never got bored into it my Halo 2 gaming has allready gone whiuuuf... buum down like a bomb! and now the game mode i love the most is being put to team training; i mean it's good that it still exists but your putting the actionsack games etc. into team training so what are the odds of getting team swat? like maybe 1 team swat in a 100 games? that allways happens to me it's for me like not getting lockout ever some people might get it all the time but are not getting there other maps never.
and it was so cool to actually get at least 1 killtrocity a day.
(i'm really sorry for saying this bungie... and of course microsoft as well ''im going to mod my old xbox to have some fun out of the game by modding i mean im not going to mod on xbox live but oncampaign and my own multiplayer because i dont want to cheat and make others lose there levels i hate cheaters ''online'') because i really love halo but it's getting a little boring allready i mean of course it's still more fun then the other games it's just getting a little boring because you have played like more than a thousand hours of halo and it's honestly getting too familiar and because of that BORING you could at least keep some of the game modes.


BUNGIE (and everyone else) this is not going to mean that i will stop playing halo it just means im going be playing ALOT LESS of halo.

And thirdly now that gears of war has been released do you really want to **** off your players everyones just going to play GOW now

Ok im also sorry for using rood language (even though i sensured it myself) and i am also sorry for any spelling/grammar mistakes I AM FINNISH so my national language is not english.

No, not Team SWAT!!! Well I understand. I can see how the popularity doesn't matter behind your decisions, but in fact could be a bad thing. A popular playlist like Team SWAT could take away from the other playlists making it hard to find matches over the holiday down time. However, I hope you guys add it back in after the holiday's. Team SWAT is easily my favorite and most played playlist.

I agree. Im sure bungie has a good explanation tho. they wouldnt go to scool for years to mess up their best creation. Atleast it will come back. I want some new maps im getting tired of the same thing everytime. ive been playing ever since it came out and the only thing that has changed are the maps. y dont u add a weapon or vehicle to content download im sure u could make that work somehow. How about a new level with a cool new feature. Last year i would play halo all the time until the new maps stopped coming out. How come backwash never gets played in matchmaking??? Why would u add a map and make it become unused?? Just makie sure halo 3 has content download with more than maps. because if there is no halo 4 comin out halo 3 will get boring just like halo 2. Will there be superbouncing in halo 3???
