It’s pretty much a CoD system, your rank doesn’t indicate any skill whatsoever, just that you played a shit-load. Even arena ranking is very, very flawed.
Captain here, nearly Grade 1.
So I got an assassination on a guy flying with a jetpack and the animation looks exactly like Terry’s Powerdunk to me. You can find it under the name powerdunk with the tags terry bogard kof. It was one of the many highlights of my Halo career so far. (As well s all of the people I’ve killed that tried to splatter me when I had armor lock, so much fun.)
Bungie has put of a list of all the matchmaking changes to come in October. SWAT gets it’s own playlist :rock:
Bungie.net : Halo Reach : Playlists
pretty much. I know a few people from college who camped out for Reach, skipped classes until they beat campaign, and have done little else aside from attempt to become a general.
I laugh my ass off when my pathetic sargeant runs train on a bunch of officers in a game of multiplayer.
fyi killling people by jumping off the spire and landing on them, is still the ultimate badass thing to do
fuck yeah, swat has its own playlist. i love swat
everybody likes Swat. I just didn’t like EVERY fucking game I played to be SWAT over and over. I literally have only played a handful of games with the real map weapons and shit like that. It sucks trying to learn the maps, when you never get to deal with weapon placements or shit like that. Instead, every game type is SWAT or SNIPERS
i love firefight but is just me or are 90% of the games laggy as shit?
swat is GDLK buttttt i agree that it doesnt need to be mixed in… good shit bungie
edit… yoooo those heatmaps are sick, why cant COD do shit like this? :{
Damn this CoD like ranking system! I want the number system back!
I used to always get amazed and impressed whenever i face level 49’s and 50’s in lone wolfs…cuz i always get tore up really badly and it lets me know where i stand. It gives me so much more motivation to improve and makes it alot more fun when having a goal and facing better opponents.
Well, now that SWAT will have it’s own playlist…you will only be playing Snipers! They need to give Snipers its own playlist too…and then remove SWAT and Snipers from Team Slayer.
Time to go back and farm Cr in Score Attack/Firefight.
I want a new FireFight voice
mother fuck, i still get some disgusting lag, or shit like that, even with all green bars in this game.
You know where you run a certain distance, then BAM you’re standing where you were just a few seconds ago, and all you do is run like 5 feet forward then get lagged back to where you started, over and over and over
and you have to melee people like 5 times to kill them, then they finally die and it turns out you’re dead too
or i throw a grenade, and i get shot 10 seconds later, and THEN my grenade leaves my hand
FO serious I haven’t seen it haha guess I should check it out
The SWAT playlist isn’t up yet. That’s next month, along with Campaign Matchmaking.
Snipers needs it’s own playlist too. 
Be careful with that. Heard Bungie was banning/cR clearin’ folks who were abusin’ that Gruntocalypse(sp?) stuff.
Nah, Bungie isn’t banning people for playing it over and over again, they’re banning modders and what-not exploiting it.
Ok I love SWAT but playing on Hemmoridge spelling is aweful. How do you use the DMR at such long range :sad:
treat it like a sniper rifle at great ranges. take the extra time to line up a clean headshot and pop off slower
Finally a “Warrant Officer Grade 2”
Jeez
whats so great about gruntapolypse? I got a decent score on it, nothing spectacular. Pretty standard, given the amount of time you have to spend killing friggin’ grunts
Just keep it on their head and pull the trigger, problem solved ^_^;
Getting past grade 3 is a bitch, you need 66,000 I believe.
You get mad cR and can grind commendations.
The key is to get as many commendations as you can. Headshots, double kills, killstreaks, etc. if you see a grunt all by itself it is worth it to wait a little bit before you kill it to see if more grunts come into view for an easy double kill (or more).
And don’t let them kill you, keeping up your kill streak gets you a lot more points. Grenades are what kills me the most so I use armor lock and activate it any time I think I hear a plasma grenade land near me.
Depending on the map I get anywhere between 1800 and 3000 credits per match, and I have yet to have a match take more than 8 or 9 minutes. Supposedly corvette is the best map for this but I have yet to have it come up so I can’t comment.
