Normal Slayer is for wimps; SWAT is the real test of skill
What is considered nooby for normal slayer:
1. Shields
2. Grenade Spamming
3. Radar
4. Power Weapon Advantage
Now SWAT is the ultimate test of skill, because it focuses on:
1. Reflexes
2. Accuracy (Headshots)
3. Communication (If you're in party chat or game chat with friends)
4. Upmost Equality (Same weapons, no shields)
All you get in slayer are people charging into each other, attempting to get that pummel kill.
That's not strategy.
Or people in quick fight, running away and spamming their grenades at each other, hoping it does the work for them.
That's pretty cowardly.
I've been playing for a while to see the major difference. SWAT keeps you on the edge of your seat. It greatly enhances your accuracy, and allows you to feel for your surroundings. And I don't have to YAWN when I'm shooting someone, due to the ridiculous shielding in normal slayer.
Now some will agree. Other will flame me, and say I'm a COD fanboy. If i was a fanboy, I wouldn't be playing Halo Reach.

These angry replies are hilarious. People get so upset on what they think skill is.

SWAT gives you instant gratification which makes it a great gateway gametype if your coming over from COD but its not real halo its a wimps gametype play real slayer and get some hair on your chest

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Demon Heart85 What is considered nooby for normal slayer: 1. Shields 2. Grenade Spamming 3. Radar 4. Power Weapon Advantage[/quote] 1. Shields are a core feature to the Halo series. Why do you even bother playing this game if you don't like this, Surely a realistic shooter would be more appealing to you seeing as you like 1 hit deaths. 2. You will find that in every FPS. Grenade Spaming is a tactic, Learn to deal with it. 3. Again a core feature of Halo. It's your fault if you're not sneaky enough. 4. Really. Saying your super skill full with a DMR is not more Skillful than a guy that can destroy with every weapon. Power weapons are a core feature in almost every FPS. It's part of map control, your own fault if you can grab them quick enough. I can't fathom why you dare say it is nooby to use them.

Whatever, your deranged opinion OP. 1. This isn't in normal slayer? 2. Also in normal slayer. 3. Also in normal slayer. 4. Maybe this appeals to you OP, but to the majority of us, it's dull as -blam!-.

This is all you think Normal Slayer is? You've lost all credibility right here. [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Demon Heart85 I've been playing for a while to see the major difference.

[/quote] OP if you like SWAT, that's fine. Good for you. But don't try to tell me that a stripped and dumbed downed Halo that removes the majority of the game's core features is more skillful than the full package. Your wrong on all counts there.

SWAT is the ultimate test of spawn killing and lame sprinting for enemies cauz everyone spawns and camps around corners. SWAT is nothing more than just a fun game mode but definitely not the revelation of the Halo franchise. And sometimes SWAT is for people who cant keep up with Halo and its true gameplay (and I mean not -blam!-ing the crap out of AAs). [Edited on 10.01.2010 10:37 AM PDT]

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] TheDimm LAWL All Swat TESTS is who has Host. [/quote] All Slayer tests is who got the best team. You can be the worst Halo-player of all time and still get decent stats when you get carried over and over again. However, with SWAT no one but yourself can help you out. It's a different type of skill, doesn't make SWAT for CoD-players or bull like that.
-
OP you phail. swat is for noobs. one shot one kill OMGZ DA BE R3ALZ SKILLZ!
-
Don't quite undderstand why SWAT = CoD. There was a SWAT playlist in H3. And it was a popular custom game mode in H2. But, hey, some people still don't think bloom was in those games either.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Master Kingz XBL It takes skill to sit in a corner the whole game and watch a door waiting for someone ![/quote] Is that how you play SWAT? If you kill 1 or 2 people in that corner people will come back and haunt ya
-
sure swat is fun, but its primarily a playlist that appeals to cod players trying to adjust to halo. it make you spoiled and its not very hard to do well. in any other halo playlist, skill is needed and its a lot harder to get high scores

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] HALOHEROE15 Wrong, Swat is for CoD players.[/quote] Noooo its not cod is just for people who like to do stupid things like quick scope they only go for headshots in cage matches or boosting for camos you dont quick scope on halo you just need good reaction times to hit them for a 1 shot kill
-
wtf i just walked into by clicking on this topic ?
-
I don't sit in a corner i allways sprint around keeping my aimer head height and use my good timed reactions if i mess up.
-
I do SWAT i think its better then normal slayer not cos its easyer but cos ihave good reaction timings and im good at keeping my aim head height too keep getting headshots and multi kills and dont bring cod onto this cos cod is a bad game full off modders and hackers.

LAWL All Swat TESTS is who has Host.

It takes skill to sit in a corner the whole game and watch a door waiting for someone !

It's completely different from Team Slayer. As for Team Slayer you play in and with a team which means different skill factors are acquired and for SWAT it's more to the person itself. I like SWAT alot because Team Slayer can get really annoying.
-
Hmm I wouldn't say it takes more skill, just a different kind of skill. Like you say, SWAT requires quick thinking and reflexes, whereas Team Slayer, actually does require skill in terms of team work and strategy. Power weapons aren't nooby IMO
-
your k/d is 1.9... not much skill. :) swat = fun but not all skill.
-
I like SWAT, I like Team Slayer. Provides different types of gameplay for one game. I strongly disagree with your comment about how Normal Slayer is for Noobs. In fact I think it takes the most seasoned player to 1.Take down sheilding effectively. 2.Use motion tracker to confuse or stay hidden from enemies. 3.Form a tactic to counter power weapons. 4. List can go on. I won't bash your opinion on SWAT but man, think on a more broader scale.
-
SWAT isn't a test of skill. Everything on his list isn't skill at Halo. Reflexes does not a good video game player make. You have to make proper decisions and what not. Skill at Halo means knowing when to use a DMR or a rocket. you need to be fluent with all weapons, armor abilities and vehicles in Halo to be a skilled Halo player. SWAT does not allow for that.
