Still haven’t given up on this! Really hope we get it sometime. Along with other game types.
I miss KoTH. Such a frenetic, yet awesome game.
Saw this thread and got excited thinking it was the new weekly social :(. Would love to see KOTH/Crazy King!
It was a good show.
And I’m sure we are getting it soon

-Yoink!- Bobby!
I would really, really be surprised if 343 didn’t eventually include King of the Hill and Oddball in future updates. You would certainly think that’d be the case since they’ve been staples of Halo since the beginning.
Infection too, since that’s easily the most requested gametype from what I can tell - not sure why, got so burned out on it all the way back to Halo 2 custom game days!
I’m really bummed that Grifball and Assault don’t have commendations personally… but not going to complain too much since I think it’s amazing we got those back in a free update!
I would be amazed if they didn’t add it at least for just a week.
King of the Hill was the first mode mentioned in Halo lore. John played it with schoolyard friends in The Fall of Reach which predates any Halo game.
I never liked it in matchmaking, but it’s one of the most useful modes for custom minigames and such. Definitely needs to return. Strongholds is absolutely not an acceptable alternative.

Who’s John? Is he kind of like Locke or something? :’(
Well, you pretty much play KOTH on Antifreeze since every game on Strongholds plays out that both teams only go for B flag.
I was going to ask what you really see as the difference between KOTH and Strongholds, it is simply three hills instead of one.
It would be near impossible for them not to include it, lets be honest. They already have the bases in the form of Strongholds…all you need to do is make a one-base Strongholds game.

Haha I’m assuming a troll? If not… Wow… John is Master Chief, the man, the myth, the legend himself!

I see your point and kind of thought the same thing initially, but it is different… Much more frantic and difficult to win, especially Crazy King, since literally everyone is bum-rushing and trying to maintain domination of a single hill. I’d be pretty bummed if we don’t eventually see it down the line.

Strongholds doesn’t let you play free for all. Strongholds doesn’t let you have a moving hill. Strongholds doesn’t let you make a vehicle a hill (without whacky welding). Strongholds doesn’t let you give different traits to players in the Hill. I’m probably forgetting a few other things.

Yeah I know, just expressing my distaste for him being a secondary character.
There are SOOOO many mini games that rely on KOTH to work. 343 needs to bring it back.
Yes, please. Koth, VIP, and juggernaut.
KOTH Lone Wolves H3 on Guardian. Now that’s a Halo memory I will not forget. Ever.
