Halo: Reach MCC |OT| Reaching back into the MCC without an MC

SWAT is the greatest game mode every created in Halo. Why do you think its got a big ol spot in the OT?
Question about this. Am I able to select just SWAT or just Slayer in 4v4, or is there one 4v4 playlist that randomly goes between all these?
Thanks. The lack of crossplay makes the decision easy since my friends are on console. I'll try the PC version at a later date then.
Because you have bad taste. 🤷♀️ It's a gametype that removes Halo's main characteristics, map control and a TTK that rewards skill and not who saw who first.
You can select SWAT or Slayer only with the match composer, just know it'll (possibly) increase how long it takes you to get into a game.
Yeah but it's an easy way to rank up. I remember going for lvl 50 back in the days.
As post 343 on page 7 can I just say this should now be divine will.
Well the way Moose worded it was mean but he has the right point.
SWAT basically turns Halo into a separate game. An unfortunately popular one. I had friends who insisted on playing nothing but SWAT but I always felt it was so frustrating and boring. To me, what set Halo apart from other shooters was that long firefight dance you would have against other players. Where you can utilize your movement, grenades, melee, and shooting to win. That plus being able to lock down certain areas of the map so you can use more powerful weapons.
SWAT basically distilled all the unique parts of Halo down to have it mimic CoD and the other popular shooters of the time where its about running around and very quickly killing people before they can react.
It's still hugely popular and won't be going anywhere.
So uhhh this is a little overwhelming, does the game just randomly choose a mode? Seems like the community would be split across so many gamemodes.
You can choose what game type you want to play. That's a good amount of game types to launch with, Halo games have always had a ton of game modes (except 4 and 5) and population has never been an issue.

It's not! There's a dedicated amount of players who stick to the main game types and a dedicated amount of players who play the off hand ones. Usually game types are rotated in and out as well.
Hey does anyone know if you have to buy the full MCC on steam to play Reach or if I can just buy Reach separately?
There are many times in Swat when a player with bad aim will spot a player first but will be killed by the player he spotted because he missed.
Don't forget that pro and hardcore game types like to remove weapon and sandbox elements just because they think utility weapons are the only things that matter in Halo.
I'm so ready for some armor locker to kill me while I sprint around with my sword. The rage will fill my soul.
God I love this game.
Also bring back squad slayer

I'm beyond excited to play Exodus at 1080p 60 fps. (I don't have a 4K TV). Reach really does have the most replayable campaign in the series for me.
Well, it's the most fun and varied one, in my opinion. It has by far the greatest number of enemy types, and there are some excellent missions like SWORD Base, Exodus, New Alexandria and Long Night of Solace. It's a blast to play through.

I don't hate Swat I just don't recognize it as a core gametype, it's a step above gimmicks in action sack. Also I was being facetious about removing it from playlists.
Thank both of you. That is great to hear.
Thanks for the input. I actually liked 3 the least and 4 the best. Heh. Never played ODST either.
God this makes me so hype, especially seeing the PC community be able to discover such great games for the first time...
Makes me sad to see the way Halo has gone this decade, I really hope Infinite can turn things around.

Please don't ban me but ODST is probably my second least favorite after 5 in terms of campaign. Reach I enjoyed and was pretty decent at the multiplayer.
It's like Halo but if you removed all of the series core mechanics.
I'm gonna wait until Combat Evolved comes out before getting the MCC, but I'm glad to see the Halo games finally having an updated version for PC. My wife didn't play games until recently, and the Halo series is the set of co-op campaigns I've been itching to play through with her.
BTB allows more use of Armor Lock as originally intended (i.e anti-vehicle)
Armor Lock was mostly fine after the TU, anyway. No longer a get out of jail free card for sticky nades, reduced rapid activations, shortened overall duration etc.
