Something I know pleases both Max and Scuba, Team SWAT will be sticking around in the Halo 3 playlists even after this Double Exp weekend is over. Oh, you didn’t know? After so many people were begging for the game type, Bungie decided at the last minute to put Team SWAT out there again this weekend for Double Exp.

If you’re not sure what exactly Team SWAT is, I’ll break it down for you. Everyone has no shields and there is no radar in the game. Your health is set to 300% and you get a battle rifle. The game is all about headshots. It will take a few body shots to drop your opponent if you’re looking to go that route. The games are very faced paced and a ton of it. Team SWAT was a stable playlist back in Halo 2.

So back to the topic at hand. What’s Bungie’s take on all of this?

As for SWAT’s long term future, don’t worry, this isn’t the last you’ll be seeing of it. Halo matchmaking is about to go into its predicted renaissance period, with lots of new maps, gametypes and even more energy and variety than before.

So either it’s going to be a frequent visitor to the Double Exp weekends, or we’re going to see SWAT make it’s return to the regular playlists. I’m hoping for the latter.
