OK, this annoyed me. On some levels, you could argue it’s doing me no harm, so why should I care?
I just played a game where two people in a party, (same emblems as well, so it’s not like they were trying to hide it or anything), continually found each other to gift each other Executions by standing still and letting the other assassinate them whilst they were King.
The first annoying thing was that by trading Executions it meant they came 1st and 2nd due to the points involved. Everyone else in that game (myself included) was basically cheated out of the chance of winning and getting a +1 towards our Regicide Victory commendations.
The second annoying thing is that I’ve played literally hundreds of games trying to complete that commendation. It’s very difficult and the requirements should have been a lot lower in my opinion. Anyway, I’m just three away from mastering it now so I can soon forget about it but people are getting it by cheating, and they’ll get away with it as well, which kind of belittles my efforts.
I’ve avoided both players and filed complaints for cheating but won’t post their gamertags here as I know it’s against the rules.
Also, I had a game of Regicide a few games before where another party of two was doing the exact same thing!!!
Anyway, has anyone else experienced this in FFA Regicide games?
/rant
tl;dr:
Just a rant about people boosting Executions in FFA Regicide.

Halo 4 has been filling up with these kind of guys lately.
Regicide is a poorly executed concept. You do so much hard work, only to have a Waypoint over you saying, “Hey, you want points? Everyone come hunt me!” It’s very annoying, Rumble Pit or plain FFA would have been fine.
People boosting themselves like that is another level of idiocy and shows no sportsmanship.
I’ve run into guys like that once or twice, and I bet it’s only gonna go up from here.
Good luck with that commendation OP!(Even though you’re just three games away…)
Same here OP. I do know two boosters that were doing this, but sadly I can’t call them out, so they’ll be left alone.
I can understand a little bit why they want to get the commendation out of the way, but doing it with friends and ruining other games, not cool.
With any challenging commendation you’re going to find players willing to boost. The problem is that there’s no venue for reporting them. If you post them here you get banned.
I ran into a party of three that were doing it… and they weren’t killing each other at all, besides the Executions. They were ganging up on the other players. I had to quit after I yoinked them a few times.
But in all honesty this is 343i’s fault for making the Execution commendation the amount that it is. It’s 430 total, that’s ridiculous.
it was the first thing i maxed out on. try team doubles to get it, there’s only two peeps per team it should’nt be hard =)

Regicide is in Team Doubles? I don’t think so…
> it was the first thing i maxed out on. try team doubles to get it, there’s only two peeps per team it should’nt be hard =)
OP is talking about Executions - executing the King in Regicide, not Exterminations. Herp a derp.
lol i commented on the wrong post, my bad
you could report them, but majority of the time it doesn’t do anyting.
Commendations like this and the plasma pistol are just ridiculous.
Bummer for completionists like me.
Actually, although it is still bad, Regicide was a good attempt to focus gameplay on one place instead of everyone just wandering around aimlessly. Just saying.
I would have said report them in a pm to an admin, because it used to be that non-full party boosting was a bannable offense. But I’m not sure 343 does it that way, it wouldn’t be the first time they countermanded Bungie’s original rules (such as Bungie saying checkpoint resetting to boost campaign kills/medals would never be bannable, and then 343 set it up to detect people boosting ONI).
I’m 40 more executions away from mastering, the hard way. Just the other day, some guys were joking that I was really going for those King Assassinations. Once I get there, I can just focus on killing every spartan who wants to cross my path.
I will say, I got very creative in my escape tactics waiting for someone to get more points than me, so I can go King hunting, heh-heh.
Answer to stop this- 1 player limit. No parties can enter in FFA MM. Only one person goes in. Like Halo 3 Lone Wolves.

Problem solved. Nice one.

Really? Wow, I didn’t think 343 would have followed in Bungie’s shoes. If anything, I would have thought they would say, “Full parties only, no lone players.” That is more like the 343 we know.

That sounds lovely in theory but then you realize that there are those of us who like to play FFA legitimately with our friends in matchmaking. I don’t want to be punished and be excluded from enjoying FFA with my friends and family because of a few bad eggs, it’s a blast joining up in FFA to see who can come out on top and defeat the rest of the party.
Sure custom games are always an option but my cousin and I don’t always have 4-5 other friends online to form a full party to play with each other. That works in Lone Wolves because that was a ranked playlist, sure you don’t want people boosting ranks but in Halo 4, there is no reason for such restrictions.
This is a problem in every single game they can possibly do this to it sucks but nothing is safe has anyone else been experiencing the old double shot from halo2??? Say I go into a team slayer playlist or even a regicide I’ll average 18-20+ kills and always at least a 1kdr to 2&even up to 5-10 so far which a frenzy has been the most I got to in halo4 so far but it definitely feels as if the double shot is back lots of players shoot a 6round burst with the BR and just dominate they either pull it off on the 1st or last shot before they have to reload there seriously has been some players exploiting this glitch in the new global championship! It’s getting old real fast! I got accused of cheating when all I have ever been is a legit player! I take much honor in knowing my stats maybe bad ATM but it’s only cuz I’m playing with a disadvantage of not only lag but these glitch exploiters they seriously pull off a double shot somehow & idk how they’re doing it but too many players are using this mostly in the tournaments it wasn’t as known of during the 1st tournament just the usual tricks from player to player hosting these crackers (wannabe hackers) use these bellow the belt tricks underhanded glitch exploiting
I’m so very tired of not being able to pull 2-3 shots off & dying spawning getting assassinated then spawning back in the I’d guesstimate about 1-4 players who happen to know this trick & possibly are using an aim bot as well they track peoples heads through walls while having a jetpack or invisible armor ability yet appear to see everyones head as if promethean vision and magnetic looking headshots idk how to explain it it looks like when an AI aim bot kills you not a human!!!
This is causing me to barely even be able to get one kill in the global championship playlist! I could go get 18-25 kill in any other play list and have even tried doing so in between to see if it’s just me or my connection or lag and when I play the tournament playlist out of 6 games I find 1 game that I can come in 4th place with 11 kills! And I’m a halo veteran! Since day1 of haloCE AKA HALO1 & halo2,3,ODST,halo wars, reach& halo4! How does that happen?! I go into that many lobbies every day for a total of 20 games and that’s my result consistently games where 2-4 of 7 other players double shot & win by 10-15 kills scores loOk like 25 to 11-15 to 9-6 then 5-4 & 3-1 with at least 3-4 peoples only getting 0-1 kills something isn’t right with these stats it’s bothering me so much! Not consistent with the rest of any FFA mode in halo history where someone didn’t cheat! Can’t stand cheaters! Causing negative 11-20 deaths completely unavoidable death respawn after respawn! Lucky to shoot once let alone get a kill or even bring a guy with you with these guys on the field! Not fair
End ridiculous as cheaters long rant!

I applaud your Wall of Text, good sir.
The boosters that know you know what they’re doing are the worst, because they t-bag you as well.
