Why did 343 change koth? It was perfectly fine how it was but they changed it. I assume they changed it just to change it. 343 pretty much made a poor mans strongholds

Just another classic gametype altered (ruined) for no reason. Obj items don’t one-shot melee, oddball got rounds, slayer got an increased respawn timer, koth gets turned into 1-plot extraction. Nothing they do should be surprising at this point, it should be expected.

the old school games types were better tbh but the game is good but needs alot of work hopefully 343 gets there act together but I am not expecting much from them S1 hurt the game alot and they may not be able to come back from it

I only play this game competitly not interested in the casual side so I have not tried most of the modes have no interest in them and what I have heard there not living up to expectations

I actually like the change.
I think the most common KOTH game type people are referring to in this thread is Crazy King where the hills will change throughout the course of the match. I think Infinite improves upon this as the hill will only change once a team has gained enough time. In previous Halo games the hills would only rotate for a given amount of time making it so that certain hills it doesn’t make sense to rush because it is hard to control due to line of sites or whatnot. Also, this KOTH tells you where the upcoming hills will be ahead of time which is not a feature in all the Halo games. I think this might be the most well thought out and GOAT of any KOTH in Halo history.
The problems I see with this KOTH

  • The score to win is to low imo
    *FFA KOTH will be slower to it’s detriment than previous version of KOTH
  • It’s not called Crazy King. This is a problem that plagues many Halo games (not just 343i ones) where names of game types and medals change.
    *I feel like the scoring system would be more confusing if you were playing classic KOTH (with one hill) especially if multi-teams are ever added.

I too enjoy the new KOTH mode and there is many great things to be happy about when it comes to Season 2.
