I played some Rumble Pit today and there were multiple people voting for Regicide so we played Regicide and than the awesome Regicide feelings came back! I used to love the Regicide playlist so much! And now it’s gone…
I really wish it came back…
Same with me, it used to be so fun, and it was my highest CSR
Same here.
Same. Was pretty decent at it. I love free for alls but that was the kitties pajamas.
I like a FFA playlist instead of 2 or 3 seperate FFA playlists. Makes more sense and makes the UI less cluttered. With this in mind 343 is also doing weekly rotational playlists again. So perhaps for one week regicide will have it’s own playlist again.
That way people who are really stubborn get what they want AND the UI is not cluttered.
Me too. I’m so tired of getting stuck playing Rumble Pro all the time, and the Regicide gametype in Rumble Pit doesn’t feel the same; 8 players and instant-respawn don’t go well together. Every time I play Regicide in Rumble Pit, I get spawn killed over and over. It was better when Regicide had it’s own playlist.
I agree, like Aryck said, playing Rumble Pro constantly does get quite boring. IMO, Regicide is much more fun.
I’m a big fan of Regicide, too - except when I play against David Ellis and he steals the win from me in the final two seconds of the game!
Try going into Rumble Pit with others who like it (perhaps even people from this thread?). That way you can sway the vote in your favor. 
You could also try bribing certain 343i employees with kittens to get them to change every gametype in every playlist to Regicide.
Except for Grifball, nobody messes with Grifball!

Nobody steals the honour of Grif( not like he has any) ! LOL that could be an April fools- day joke- everything is changed into Regicide( the display name). It was pretty hectic on its own, and being the king, or killing him put so much pressure on the player. I remember, one time, that I became king with 8 minutes left and I went around in a circle on the outside, sweeping up kills from those in the middle, and running away, then nading, and shooting my chasers, and winning 1v1v1.

Perhaps you guys could update Regicide to remove instant respawn from the gametype? It gets really bad on maps like Haven; I constantly have people spawning directly behind me, it makes it difficult to move around the map.

or they could listen to the numerous requests in the rumble pit feedback thread and reduce the player count to 6.

That might work, too; but then we’d need instant respawn in Slayer gametypes to make up for the lack of players on some of the larger maps, like Adrift (a personal favorite of mine that I don’t want removed under any circumstances).
Some of the Forge maps like Simplex also feel too small for 8 players; I think some forgers are failing to account for certain aspects of Halo 4’s gameplay, like Sprint, Jetpacks, and instant respawn.

Why not bring THIS back too? We SORELY need a dedicated Team Objective playlist.
Gametypes in the playlist would be:
• CTF - (Yes, move this into Objective and you will get those people going into the playlist and hey, they might even choose something else…Also, put this in the THIRD slot, so as to give other gametypes a chance of being picked.)
• Team Regicide - It only comes up rarely in BTB and is a pain in the -Yoink- in Rumble Pit. For my own sake, I’m making a web series from Halo 4 and NEED that Emblem for mastering Regicide.
• Oddball - It was in Multi-team (which you took away and put into the rotational playlist instead. Bad move, IMO.) On that note, PLEASE bring back a 4 team 3-person per team, multi-team playlist. It is BADLY needed!
• King of the Hill - Yet another great gametype lost to the rotational playlist. Honestly, with these gametypes having commendations attached to them, they should NEVER go away or be put into a playlist where they can only be played for 2 weeks every several months. REALLY BAD MOVE THERE! Plus, you’re further killing the Halo 4 gaming population. Not that hard to see…
• Stockpile - Hey, if a modder cna find the code was already embedded in the game, why not bring this back? Yeah, I know it’s not YOUR creation 343, but it was a GREAT game type.
• Headhunter - Read above for Stockpile. Another GREAT gametype.
Jessica (BS Angel), you folks at 343 can’t be SO against what Bungie created before you as to totally dismiss good gametypes such as those. You need to build off of what they CREATED, instead of tearing it down to rebuild your version of what you think Halo should be.
I truly want you folks to succeed. However, if you can’t see that some of these decisions are HURTING the franchise, then there is a REAL problem.
Playlist management needs to be a PRIORITY post game launch. At times it just feels like you’re experimenting with them, instead of taking a realistic look and approach to what is NEEDED per the community.
I mean these words with kindness, but also with sternness. You HAVE to do better than this. Waiting until the next game to get it right is NOT going to help this game, nor the longevity of the franchise, nor it’s sustainability as a viable profit maker for you and Microsoft.
As caretakers/stewards of Halo, you owe it not just to yourselves and Microsoft, but to US, the fans and CONSUMERS who are the ones who have paid for and stuck with the franchise, many of us for many years.
Losing to a bad player just because they happen to catch the king with his shields down more often than everyone else isn’t my idea of a good playlist.

Ricochet does ; )
At least Regicide is coming back!

Thanks!

I have 13 kittens in my backyard.
I’d be more than willing to give them to 343i.
For the price of Regicide constantly being in every playlist, that is.
i am very glad I managed to get in Dominion and Regicide in halo 4 before it got removed, hopefully it will be return soon, unlike king of the hill, that will be a struggle
I am also hoping maybe for a rocket race gametype, to maybe make the mongoose destroyer commendation atleast possible
