    Now that the Team SWAT Playlist is out, what are your feelings on it? Glad it's out of Team Slayer so you can quit playing it? Or glad you can get your SWAT fill in whenever you'd like? 
     
    I personally enjoy being able to jump into a game knowing I'm going to play SWAT. Killing Sprees and Multikills await, and it's a great way to bring up my K/D. 
     
    What are your thoughts?

    I'm glad they put it in it's own playlist. I enjoy SWAT, but only sometimes. I'm sad though 'cause the update was pushed out just as I had to stop playing and go study.

    I had to stop playing Team Slayer for a while because SWAT was coming up so frequently. Finally it has its own playlist so I never have to be bothered by this abomination ever again.

    Its a great thing that its separate. I don't like it, and now that its not apart of the Slayer variants I don't ever have to play it.

    I think it's a great thing. While playing Team Slayer people don't have to worry about being ambushed by 15 minutes of twitch-based gameplay and those who want to play SWAT can play it without having to trawl through the rest of the Team Slayer gametypes. I can't see why anyone wouldn't like SWAT being moved into its own playlist.

    Bungie announced that the playlist update went live about five hours ago so it should be all fixed by now.

    Good times, thanks for the heads up!

     Nothing, it's a fun mode I love to play.
    But not when I get killed the moment I spawn for an entire match. =)

    Ah right, I barely played Halo multiplayer apart from a little of ODST and quite liked SWAT - but given everyones negativity around those who play it i was worried i was associating myself with the 4chan of the Halo crowd or something (Jesus, thats a depressing thought)  
    Saying that my 2nd ever "terrible xbox live moment because of a 12 year old punk ass" happened today in my 2nd year of haivng a 360 - and it was during the SWAT playlist! xD

    @OmegaPirate: 
    Don't worry what they say, just play!
    SWAT is indeed a fun type, but there's these people who will just headshot you over and over again to a point where its just clear that you're helpless.
    Now skill is skill, I know that, but I just fail to see how such a gametype can be fun for a party behind on kills.
     
    Just play!

    While I haven't played any Reach yet, I kind of hated SWAT in Halo 3. It's the kind of playlist that is made to benefit people who are far better at getting headshots than I am.

    Now if they would just remove SWAT from the big team battle playlist i will be content. I mean seriously, who at Bungie thought that 8v8 SWAT on hemorrhage was a good idea?

    I'm glad it is gone. I generally do pretty well in it and find it fun every so often but when people are so blindly picking it over (imo) better game types, that's when you end up in Team Slayer SWAT games on Hemorrhage. Not fun.

    Any negativity about the type of people who play SWAT is a sort of backlash against the unfortunate "Yo dude, you know this mode is pro 'cause it's all about headshots" segment of players. Although a lot of people don't like SWAT because it deviates from the regular Halo gameplay there's nothing wrong at all with liking the gametype, if you wanna play SWAT then go for it.

    I played some earlier and hated it. Its weird, because I liked it when I played it in Team Slayer. 
    Im also kinda surprised that it had more players in it than Team Slayer.
