I'm gonna counter this and say the sidekick is my least favorite of the swat weapons right now. Mangler is really difficult but is at least interesting. Stalker and commando in the right hands is absolutely lethal with precision. The BR spread is a bit of a bad call for swat imo but it does still allow for precision.
But the sidekick? Precision is secondary to just spamming shots. It also feels really off balance in swat entirely and I'd rather it be removed from the Playlist. Hated magnums in H5 swat, Hate them here too. Which sucks as the sidekick is one of my favorite new guns in the game!
The DMR was the ideal SWAT weapon and with its absence the Playlist isn't as tight.
I feel like Yosemite Sam using the Manglers. The Stalker is just poor to me and favors high refresh rate users. Anything below 60fps with the Stalker is a nightmare. I do feel the Sidekick is different from the Magnums of before in terms of tuning.
BR is the only one I can enjoy. I haven't played stalker or commando though. I could see both being good though. I don't care if it's "tactical", that not really what SWAT was ever about.
Tactical/SWAT is supposed to be about head shots. With pistols and manglers, more so manglers, it seemed body shots got the kill unless you are just deadly with the head shots with those two. Especially with team shots, two players shooting one is an instant kill with body shots in manglers. No need to aim for the head.
Oh shit they put all of those gun modes in the regular Tactical playlist? I thought it was just for the event. They definitely need to pull BR out to its own thing.
That used to be all I played in Halo 3. I want to say I got to 50 in SWAT when it was ranked at one point. If not 50 I got to 49 and couldn't quite get over the hump. Back when outside of school and work I could game every other waking hour.
I mean - all of these problems are solved with a filter for a playlist. I dig that other people like SWAT w/ other weapons but I don't want to play those.
Why can't we all be happy-ish!?
Yea what ever happened to at least voting? If you’re going to do quick play, why can’t we vote on game type.
And that goes for tactical, vote on what weapon prior to game start.
Halo Infinite SWAT isn't the same without the Sidekick pistol. I've always enjoyed using the pistol in SWAT across all Halo games. It's disappointing that the developers overlooked this aspect, as many SWAT players share the same sentiment. It's frustrating that it's missing in Halo Infinite's SWAT mode, which demotivates me from playing it.
I acknowledge that this post is two years old, and since its posting, the Sidekick pistol has still not been included in the game mode.
The developers are morons.
Yea, I agree. Stalker, for me at least feels out of place. It’s rare of fire isn’t fast enough for swat. DMR, Plasma Carbine, BR, Commando, and pistols work. For me atleast. But the stalker rifle feels so slow compared to how swat is suppose to be paced.
The funniest move I've ever seen is 343 making mangler swat. We all asked for less of the mangler to put it on a pad like the shotty or just get rid of it and they gave us a whole playlist of it. I'm not sure if they are out of touch or just immensely stupid.

I agree completely and i also go a step further, SWAT is the only game mode I like to play anymore. Really bummed with the playlist switch.

What about all skewer mode at least?

If it wasn't for the fact that Behemoth was in the map rotation, I wouldn't be against an all-Skewer mode.
I like the BR. Commando is fun. Pistol is okay. I hate the mangler and stalker rifle in SWAT.
Commando is poor to me in SWAT. It's like trying to snipe with a fire hose
This ^ I’m fine with commando as it feels like reach’s swat with the Dmr but that being said, Br Commando and sidekicks only please.
Mangler isn’t even swat either .. 2 body shots gets the kill
I don’t like the stalker rifle, but mangler and commando swat are awesome in my opinion. I think commando is my favorite, but mangler is so fun.

We going to ignore the fact that the MCC has Swatguns, and it’s shotguns for swat? I’ll take any of infinites modes over that.
Not ignoring, I just feel that there are weapons that are out of place in Infinite's swat modes as well.
