swat

has been added to Match making win

Never really been a huge fan of swat, so I doubt that I'll be playing this much. This will at least please all the people who have been complaining about it.

Seems SWAT is one of my best game modes - go figure. I was also doing very well at Oddball.

I always liked SWAT. How do custom loadouts work in that one, is everything disabled or is it limited?

It's limited to their pre-built loadouts I believe. You basically choose between a DMR or BR. (HINT: Choose the BR)

SWAT is cool.
But I have a question, am I missing something? I didn't pre-order the game so no helmets and emblems other than what's earned (unlike all the cool kids). Are there only a few maps for war games infinity slayer? seems like the same ones over and over. Should I purchased the " 2000 MP map pack" already to get more maps or are they slowly introducing them as Halo sometimes will do like they are with SWAT and other game modes?

Vortex, Solace, Metldown, Ragnarok, Haven, Longbow, Complex, Exile, Adrift, and Abandon are the initial maps. There are also the 3 forge environments Erosion, Impact and Ravine.
We all just play through those maps. What they will do is release new maps (that's what the 2000pt pack gets you, future map packs) and they will also introduce new forge maps. They usually make some forge maps themselves, and introduce top community maps as well.

Short version: Yes, it's only a few maps now. They are releasing more maps soon as well as adding forge maps.

Why br over dmr because 1 shot kills are head shots and it fires 3 bullets at once?

Yup. You can swipe a br shot at their head and get the kill. DMR it needs to be precisely over their head.

I'd say it's a good way to get your DMR weapon commendation up though, considering you see the other guy long before he sees you.

I'm pretty good with the DMR and BR honestly. I run both a lot depending on the map. Got plenty "dead eye" headshot kills since this one came out. Need about 40-50 more for the mastery. My only probem is with the longer distance I don't use the scope and miss more allowing the enemy too many chances to shoot me. I do "dance" but maybe in a predictive manner and they can anticipate and kill me. Odd, but I'm still getting use to small things after a long time of not playing Halo....too much MW3!!

Ahh, it happens. I've dropped the complex strafes I used to do in Halo 2. It seems like half the time a tricky strafe puts your head right in the scope of someone aiming poorly lol

oh yeah, thanks.
The maps info was just what I needed to know.

I posted more details on it here as well:

Played some SWAT last night. I guess it's alright, but I still prefer the usual way with how Halo is played. The thing with SWAT is that the matches are way too short and the people who play it are either incredibly good at getting headshots or can't get any at all. Haven't had any team members to hit the double digit mark in kills yet.

You played several games and were the only one above 10 kills? That's rough. You must be pulling in higher level players.

I played last night and went 21-7 on Complex(?) don't know the map names to well yet and 13-2 on Abandoned(?).
Worse I did was on Solace(?) too large and complex, don't know the map, to many lower levels, can't see across the beam shooting into the sky-- but they saw me too many times, just a difficult map that I'm starting to really HATE!!! anyway, I digress.
I also did pretty well on adrift (? ship map) but can't remember the actual K/D ratio...but it was over 10.

Swat can be fun at times, if anything it helps me dial i my aim a bit.
