Team Swords, where is it?

Theres alot of beloved gametypes missing it seems..

Over the course of 4 games there has been a lot different gametypes. To include every single one at launch would be overkill.

 

When I think about each installment I associate a certain gametype with it.

 

Halo CE= Slayer

Halo 2= Assault

Halo 3= Infection

Halo Reach= Invasion

Halo 4 = Dominion

 

Of course ODST only had firefight.

Initially I thought this was a stupid idea because I always thought the sword was too simple a weapon to base a gametype on, but then I got to thinking of the difference it might make in Halo 4... you could get some extra fun out of the different armor abilities.

 

Most loadouts would have the following unchanging details:

 

Energy Sword

Plasma Pistol or No Secondary, shouldn't make a difference

Mobility

Awareness

 

Then when you include AAs, suddenly the loadouts can look different

 

Hunter: Promethean Vision

Vanguard: Hardlight Shield

Skirmisher: Thruster Pack

Scout: Hologram

Centurion: Auto Sentry (Not a big problem really, just kind of a nice way to perhaps mop up some no-shields people)

 

Didn't make the Cut:

Stalker: Active Camo (I don't think you can get a lock on someone who's camo, so they almost automatically win sword fights. Or at least as long as you're trying to line up the lunge their auto-aim will do theirs for them)

Sentinel: Jet Pack? Eh, probably not

 

Also anything with regen field won't make sense in a game where the weapons kill you in one hit.

swords was one of my favourite game types in 3, please bring it back.

 

a good idea would be to have a rumble pit playlist where grifball, race's, swords and fun fan game types all chucked in to be voted for. k/d and win/loss wouldn't be counted, but you would still xp. tbh flood should be thrown in there too...
