SWAT aka Halo 3's FASTEST


Not really a good analogy.... Swat needs a lot of skill to be good at. You can't do gay shit very much (unlike fastest lol)
Incidentally, does anyone else use the boxer moveset? I play left trigger melee

And fastest takes some skill to be good at it too. But that doesn't mean it's not a bastardized version of the real game.

I'm pretty sure this is a joke but not quite sure, posting "strategy" for a game like Halo on a board of a game with infinitely more depth is like going to Quake forums and posting how to play a Warcraft tower defense UMS.

Would be true if you disregard the auto aim, bullet magnetism, and aim assist...


Half of me wants to agree with you, half of me wants to play against you to see if you can back that up.

You're right about the skill gap between pros and noobs being too small (blame Bungie), something along the lines of "Even a total scrub can out-slay Walshy" or whatever that quote was.

I really wish Halonerds would stop acting as if Halo is the best competitive FPS ever and its so incredibly in-depth.
Play Counter-strike 1.6 for awhile and get back to me. THAT game has a skill-gap.

This being said, I think Halo3 is a very fun game and great way to spend some time. Its just not the end-all competitive fps.

I learned something from this guide even after having made an effort to learn Halo3 for myself. But the chances of me learning something from a BW thread are much smaller

Then you should be thankful that no "halonerds" have done any such thing here! In fact, it seems like it's the CS nerds who have gone on the offensive here.

Bumper jumper is awesome, it's like learning the game all over again.

Also, CS players being insecure about halo? Didn't see that coming at all!

My thoughts exactly.
Play more Quake.

And how's that e-honor working out for you?

Would Idra use a trackball mouse instead of an optical? Would Randy Johnson pitch with a softball?

If it's there, take it. Take with two hands. If your BR is more consistent on 2 sensitivity than it is on 3, why would you not switch? The list goes on.

The skill-gap in just the slaying aspect isn't that high, but the difference between noobs and the best teams teamwork-wise is gigantic.

That "decently realistic physics engine that requires you to lead your shots at range" you mention. Yeah, thats called network latency.

But how can an FPS be fun without having played it for a decade with a clan and top level skills?

"I believe that if I would take all the hours I spent on shooters and put it into Starcraft, I'd be A+ rank ez mode. I'm not even joking, I spend a lot of time gaming"

I think I just died a little bit on the inside.

Attention Elitists

This is a topic about Halo 3, a console FPS. People have fun playing games other than starcraft/quake/CS. Believe it or not the game does require some practice and some skill. This topic happens to be about a specific game type and is designed to help people who are new to SWAT or to remind some of the vets of the key elements to the game type. This is not a place to swing your massive e-penis around because you happen to be good at an extremely competitive game.
