I don't think the argument is whether SWAT is any good or not, the argument is that it's so distinct that it should have its own separate playlist.

Agreed.

I agree. I like SWAT but it can be frustrating sometimes. 
 
But even more than that I want Snipers to be a separate playlist. It's the most boring and retarded thing I've ever seen in Halo 3 and Reach. I've never found it to be fun in any sense of the word. When I select Team Slayer from the playlist menu, it means I want to play Team Slayer darnit.

" Bungie is putting SWAT into its own playlist. "

SWAT is my most played Halo 2 and 3 gametype, but i do agree that it should have it's own playlist.

I think you should just straight up be able to search for match types you want. Not everybody loves playing Slayer DMR, SWAT, Snipers, or Zombies every single game lol.

"I love swat ... Good players learn to adjust. "

" I play Halo multiplayer for Halo, not campfest one shot kills. And beings as it seems to be the most popular choice whenever it comes up, I think it should be in a different playlist. Does anybody else agree, or am I alone in this? "

I LOVE SWAT but yeah, would be nice if it was in the mix a little less. More Headhunter, yo!

SWAT is fun i guess though that is down to the fact i am pretty good at it never really cared for it in previous games.

I love SWAT... but it is not like the other halo game modes in terms of pace at all. You either want to play SWAT, or you don't. It is ridiculous it isn't its own playlist.
Also, why are there no objective based arena playlists?

Yes, SWAT needs its own playlist.

What's funny is listening to a ton of people groan when 
SWAT is picked. And then others leaving after it starts.
 
Face it, SWAT is a form of griefing for the average Halo 
player. It  should only show up once every 10 or 20 games played.
 
Big difference between SWAT & COD is that you can shoot
the body all damn day & not kill them...

The worst thing about SWAT, when it gets picked, is all the people leaving.
Ok I hate SWAT a lot too, but constant leaving is either gonna fuck the game up more for one side (always my side) and disrupt the flow, making the moods of gamers already playing reluctant even worse.
 
That, and it just shows up too much.

I wish that classic slayer was separate. That is really the only mode I wish to play.

I tried BTB to get away from the SWAT/snipers bullshit and guess what I got? TEAM SWAT on scrapyard and that was absolute bullshit. Some dudes were camping the spawn points so the game was pretty much: Spawn, die, spawn, die, spawn, die, somebody killed the camper so you can run for a while and die, spawn, die, spawn, die.

Lookie what I found!

Snipers and SWAT in their own playlist.

I like SWAT, but I do think it should be its own thing. If you're really good at regular slayer but bad at SWAT, or vice-versa, it kinda sucks when the mode you choose has both in it.

Yes, and on top of that even if I go like positive 11 the game usually ends up being 50-49 every time I play.

On that note can we get a separate playlist for Infection and safe havens, those are always voted for in rumble pit and I am so bored of them now.
