==Notable Variants==
====Infinity and Legendary Slayer====
====Infinity and Legendary Slayer====
A ''Halo 4'' Slayer variation, with several notable mechanics changes. Players spawn with customised [[loadout]]s (including [[tactical packages]] and [[support upgrades]]), and are able to call in [[ordnance]]. Due to the changes imposed by this mode, ''Halo 4'' later introduced Legendary Slayer, a mode more resembling the Slayer gameplay of prior titles - with preset loadouts and no Ordnance.

Line 252: Line 309:
SWAT is a small-team mode designed around fast-paced and tactical gunplay. Players spawn with headshot-capable weapons such as the [[DMR]], [[battle rifle]], [[Covenant carbine]], [[LightRifle]] and [[Pistol]], with no additional weapons spawning on the map. Players have no energy shields, and are thus susceptible to being killed in only one headshot.

====Team Snipers====
====Team Snipers and Shotty Snipers====
Team Snipers is another Slayer variant designed around getting headshots. This time, players spawn with only a [[Sniper Rifle]]. Due to the ''Sniper Rifle''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s long range, players will find taking advantage of power positions on the map while hiding in the shadows is key to success. Very skilled players may opt for running around the map killing opponents with no-scopes instead.
