Everytime one of these fuckers shows up on the friggin' poll you can bet that at least four people are going to jump on it instantly. Look, it's not like I have a problem with the modes. They are fun and interesting, but god fucking damn it it gets boring after awhile. There is no variety to it at all. I need weapons. I need objectives god damn it. 
 
And that's another fine point, the damn polls. I haven't even gotten to try out Crazy King or 3 Plot yet. I love Stockpile and some good CTF or Slayer but god damn, I've gotten barely any Oddball games either.
 
I'm really failing to see why Bungie just didn't set the damn game to shuffle and let it go.

I love Team SWAT because it's just headshots, I find Covy Slayer to be pretty boring, atleast in it's current BETA form

What exactly is Covy Slayer?

" What exactly is Covy Slayer? "

I like all the gametypes except for 3-Plot in the beta. It is absolutely terrible... haha

They are pretty much the only game-types I like in the beta so far. Rolling around as an elite is hella-fun.

I hate crazy king and oddball, so i never vote for them

Covy Slayer is something different and new, so therefore popular. SWAT I like because its the only mode I'm any good at.

Swats okay, but covy slayer is fucking horrible.  I have no idea why people pick it.

People play what's fun?

I really like SWAT because I prefer the quick-kills to the protracted fire-fights in normal slayer / other gametypes. Neither is perfect, but SWAT is closer in my eyes, since I still feel able to fight back if I don't get off the first shot, but I also don't feel cheated when I get 8 head-shots and then get one-hit by a sword. 
 
But I don't like Covy Slayer.

I think Covy slayer would be perfect if the Needle Rifle didn't suck or you spawn with a DMR.

SWAT is fucking retarded, as any idiot can point a gun in the general direction of someone 100 yards away, start spamming bullets, and get a lucky headshot kill.  Before you say "NUH-UH!!!", I will say "YUH-HUH!!!" because I fucking tested it last night multiple times.  It's fucking STUPID how easy a lucky headshot is to get, and it makes me think of Jeff's headshot rant on this week's Bombcast.  I kind of hate it when he's right about shit, but he's right. 
 
As for Covy Slayer, it's a nice change of pace from playing as Spartans all the time.  The limited capabilities really make for an exciting match.  Unfortunately, infinite power on the Grav Hammer is bullshit and leads to a lot of dodge>melee crap happening on a regular basis. 
 
Personally, I enjoy Team Crazy King the most so far.

The new Invasion mode will be out on Friday.

On the topic of SWAT mode. There are just way better alternatives to Halo for low TTK (time to kill) firefight gameplay. Call of Duty or Battlefield do what SWAT does, only much better with way more variety and lots of additional gameplay ontop of it. 
 
SWAT takes that style of gameplay back to the very basic. One rifle and one sidearm and that's it. Maybe for e-sports fans okay, but definitly not for me. Like the entire Halo : Reach package, SWAT feels very oldschool and consequently somewhat outdated (outside of Invasion and the Generator mode - which I'm eager to finally play tonight).
 
Halo is about high TTK  drawn-out cat n mouse firefights with crazy weapons and floaty jumps and whatnot. SWAT just isn't Halo. Don't get me wrong, I like putting a bullet between my enemy's eyes as much as the next guy and SWAT mode does that well enough. It's fun, but not what I'm looking for in a Halo game.

Trust me, in its current state you don't wanna play oddball, stockpile or crazy king.
 
Flag dropped! Flag taken! Flag dropped! Flag taken! Flag dropped! Flag taken! Flag dropped! ...

I'm not into either.  I HATE both of those game types.

" @DystopiaX: 3 Plot is Territories, just renamed as far as I can tell.  I've enjoyed it every time I played it.  As for "you'll die before you can spam enough shots for a headshot", I again state that I've proven that wrong.  The pistol fires VERY VERY VERY quick on this game, and the sprint function in SWAT makes it pretty easy to avoid headshots for the most part. "

" @Seppli: I have to cringe every time I see you post. It's like you've gone into the goddamn thing with the intention to fabricate an argument why Halo's irrelevant on every premise. They're not even good fucking arguments. You like Battlefield. We get it.
