King of the Hill

I didn’t see any other topics on this, but it’s broken, isn’t it? I jumped in after a bad time with LSS and no one is scoring anything. It was 0-0 when I joined and it’s ending on 0-0. The timer finally ran out and it’s into ‘sudden death’ with no timer.

Sadly I wouldn’t know because I haven’t touched infinite since season 2 launched and all the content is purely for solo play. I like playing team games but when every single challenge that I have is go play solo game types I’m not going to touch it and I’m not wasting any swaps on it.

I will say that them adding King of the Hill back in is nice but should have been in from the beginning. Plus this isn’t even really King of the Hill this is more like territories. Because Old King of the Hill would have a rotating timer on the hill and standing in it would slowly get points every second. This version is a capture the spot get a point which is exactly what territories used to be. Oh and the hill doesn’t have a timer on it in this version so it never moves until someone captures it just like territory capture points.

So calling this game type King of the Hill I feel is extremely incorrect. It is Territories.

Sorry to go on a bit of a rant but I felt like that was needed. I kind of needed to give context of why people seem to be having issues with this current version of King of the Hill. And it’s because it’s not King of the Hill.

Sometimes the hill fails to register any teams time in it and doesn’t count… This has also been an issue in BTB Total Control.

I got this glitch once in 4 hrs of playing koth. Very weird, and it randomly started working again 5 mins into sudden death. My team wound up winning.

Pretty sure it is glitched. Played a round with a friend yesterday and the game ended with both teams at 2 points rather than go into overtime.

Always nades lol, was on mcc yesterday playing koth, and then infinite, and infinite seems to be too heavy on the nading. Hopefully 343 could balance it a bit better, think it was brought up before about too many grenades on maps.

For king of the hill it’s pretty simple to fix. Capacity gets reduced to 1 grenade, and 1 on the power weapon type spawns.

I’ve seen instances where zones cannot be captured for whatever reason. It’s a bug that pops up on rare occasions.

Seen it in Strongholds as well.

Yeah, I was excited for king of the hill but it’s ruined. They’ve also ruined team slayer now by adding BRs so you’re essentially playing ranked. And Swat is ruined by having all the different weapon variants. It’s meant to be a BR.

I don’t like that they added BR Slayer to social either (Insert link to video by Ascend Hyperion about why BR starts are bad for Halo. Seriously go look it up). As for swat I’m fine with the multiple types. Multiple past titles have done this and it’s never bothered me. If anything it’s a great thing because of how underwhelming the amount of content is in Infinite.

But yeah with all that said, KotH is ruined and isn’t even KotH anymore, it’s Territories.

This is the KOTH I am used to. I wondered why this Territories didn’t appeal to me.

That… That just confused me.

I’ve always loved KOTH… and I’ve really enjoyed the handful of games that I’ve got to play.

I haven’t had that scoring bug, touch wood. Sound’s awful.

And I like the grenade spam you get with KOTH. It’s part of the charm.
