Get swatty! H3 Team SWAT double EXP weekend

by Dustin Burg { Apr 25th 2008 at 11:30AM }

Friday has finally come and with it brings another special (and very popular) Halo 3 double EXP weekend! This weekend's double EXP matchmaking playlist is one of our favorites, old school Team SWAT complete with Battle Rifle shots to the face that require cat-like reflexes to pull off. Did we mention the Team SWAT double EXP playlist is already available? Well, it is and wraps up sometime early Monday morning, so get to it! Also worth mentioning is the fact that this will be the last time we see Team SWAT as a double EXP playlist because, starting May 1st, it'll be graduating to a Halo 3 standard ranked (and DLC required) playlist. Now get to EXP earnin' ya'll!

Yay for SWAT!

off topic:lol the guy in the pic looks like he's loading the moon into the assault rifle like a magazine.

Ugh, I feel I will never get that spartan laser achievement. And I use the darn thing every chance I get.

Be patient one day it will come to you instead of you find it.

Yup, my 2for1 spartan laser happened almost by accident... be patient and it'll happen.

Halo 3 is such a great game. Swat ftw!!!

Wasn't there a COD4 2xExp thing this weekend as well?

I love that when Halo 3 and COD4 compete for gamers, we win!

Mmmmm.... Ranked play with the new maps. Sounds good to me.

Munkcy @ Apr 25th 2008 1:40PM

DLC as in Heroic or Legendary? Or both?

vidGuy @ Apr 25th 2008 1:43PM

I'd assume DLC refers to the newest pack since its the only one that is now under the DLC playlist. So Legendary maps here we come!

Munkcy @ Apr 25th 2008 1:50PM

I had been refusing to buy the new map pack, mostly because I'm cheap, but if that's required for Team Swat, then looks like I'll have to invest in some Microsoft Fun Bucks.

Paranoised @ Apr 26th 2008 1:23PM

I just played it and it requires the Heroic DLC (old/free) only. Not sure which DLC is required when the playlist becomes permenant though.

Mr.ESC @ Apr 25th 2008 2:03PM

Umm I liked Team SWAT since it was pretty much the way I used to play Sniper matches back in my PC days but I don't know Am I the only one that feels Halo controllers a bit awkward? .Maybe is because I have more experience in PC shooters but I just don't like the way it moves, even with the sensibility at 10 I feel like the camera movement is too slow.

vidGuy @ Apr 25th 2008 3:27PM

In my experience, Halo isn't really a twitch game. I have the sensitivity at 5 (medium) and think it's perfect. But then again I'm a slower, strategic gamer and don't go in to situations guns blazing.

The Beta Max @ Apr 25th 2008 2:28PM

oh boy. I better get on those new maps and learn them before I jump into a ranked match...

JakubK666 (Ninja Defence Force) @ Apr 25th 2008 2:31PM

Does that mean they'll stop giving a shit about Non-DLC people? Thank you very much, Bungie.

vidGuy @ Apr 25th 2008 3:26PM

No, it just means they are trying to find ways to sell the Legendary Maps now that everyone knows they will be free in a few months. Rumor is August.

Deezul @ Apr 25th 2008 11:38PM

I think they saw a lot lower response to Heroic when they didn't offer any special games for downloaders only, and Bungie officially announced when the maps were free. By giving specials, and not announcing when they will be free, folks might download it. I think I'll pass, after barely playing any of the heroic map games.
