I’ll start by saying FFA is my favorite gametype. But I was just on halo, and didn’t get to play a game for 20 minutes. This is in part my fault. I used the the trick to avoid every join in progress game. Even if 343 says that it will only put you in a winnable game, even if you’re only 4 kills down when it decides to put you in, by the time you get in, you’re 8 kills down. So I avoid those. It tried to put me in about 8 JIP games. There were only 3 lobbies which I logged out of. I logged out of those because they were 2 simplex regicides, and 1 scythe regicide. These game types are literally the 2 worst because the frame rate is always awful on the forge, close quarters maps. Majestic maps never appear either, and no one votes for rumble pro ever, and very rarely even infinity. Perhaps allocate regicide to its own playlist, or at least remove the forge maps from regicide, but keep them in pro?
Thoughts?
Regicide was eventually merged into Rumble Pit because people demanded a proper FFA playlist.
It is highly unlikely that they will remove it and have a standalone playlist again.
Feel free to leave your feedback in the Rumble Pit Feedback topic about this though.
343 needs to simply remove JIP from rumble playlist. There is no point. Why go into a match behind, when you are by yourself? Your odds of winning are greatly diminished. Also, all of the people who didn’t quit should be rewarded by having a better chance at winning the game.
In addition (as its been said countless times), please reduce the player count from 8 to 6. This will result in games being found faster, because admittedly, this playlist population is not that large. Hell the parameters should be between 4-6 players. If the system finds 4 players, give it another minute to find one or two more, otherwise start the game with 4. This would be great because we wouldn’t have to wait at the start screen forever!

I am sure that once the E3 dust settles, there will be prominent updates to Halo 4’s playlists. In the mean time, all we can do is wait.
I honestly really don’t like Regicide.
I stopped playing Rumble Pit as soon as I had my 50.
. Regicide is such a broken gametype - 2nd is considered a loss even though 2nd in normal FFA Slayer is a top 50% ‘win’.
. Scoring and powerups for the King aren’t nearly enough reward - it should be an overshield as soon as you become the King and then Reign of Terror after 30 seconds
. In theory someone can win with half the kills the King has
Seriously it’s a gimmick gametype to keep weaker players ‘in the hunt’ for the win. I understand the theory that the King receives an advantage of attracting kills but given 2 decent players against a number of weaker ones the spawning system can either really help or absolutely destroy your game. There’s a reason that COD just plays FFA slayer.
And don’t get me started on JIP in Halo games. Itrust in the ex-MLG pros to resolve this in Halo Guardians.
