    On SWAT maps, they only have a few Carbines. If I made map with normal TS weapon spawns, would they show up in SWAT? Or would I have to make an edited-for-SWAT version, with all of the weapons replaced by carbines.:confused:

    I'm pretty sure you have to make a carbine only version of the map. It's a longer route but I'm afraid it's the only way. Also, I think it'd be good if you added a few BRs, just to mix up the gameplay a bit - but that's entirely up to you.

    But in SWAT you start with BR'S with infinite ammo

    It really depends on the type of map it's on.
    So I'll leave you to choose that, but some complicated name normally catches peoples attention ;P

    So you know, SWAT and TS are the same...

    Yeah, Bungie makes versions of all their maps specifically for SWAT so if you're making a map and you want it SWAT-playable, you should make a seperate version.

    yes you have to make 2 versions. There is no Carbine only setting to switch the weapons. So make 2 maps!

    Carbine SWAT?
    Covenant SWAT?
    Green Machine SWAT?
    Incredible Hulk SWAT?
    Radioactive waste SWAT?

    I'm just thinking of green things now. Anyways...Carbines suck in SWAT...It takes like 3-5 shots to the head for me to get the kill, or so it seems.

    no, just put all the weapons fown you want (even non-BR or carbine) then just get the SWAT gametype. it changes all the weapons on the map to BR's, and put carbines where u want them (obviously)

    Midnite's got it wrong... the way the Bungie Map Variants are set up are as this... all the weapons on the map are taken off, and the carbines are put in (usually with or without grenades) - this way, the option to be able to pick up weapons is still available - with the weapons removed, you'd be limited to your starting weapons in SWAT, and as the carbine is considered a power weapon in it, making it a starting weapon is out of the question for competitive games.

    Of course, another option would be to disable weapon pickup and simply put in carbines instead of magnums/empty slot as your second weapon, but in this situation you'll lose the ability to place important strategic areas related to weapon control. It's not a big deal, either way.
