New Mode Idea: Hitman!

So I have an idea for a game mode (Original or not I don’t really care):

So it’s an Arena game mode with 2 rounds, where each player is assigned a target from the other team.

As the round starts you have to search for your target and eliminate them. Once the target is eliminated, they will be put into spectator mode and a new target will be assigned to you.

If you are killed by anyone who isn’t your hitman (The person hunting you), you will respawn.

The team succeeds in eliminating the other team first or the team with the most players (By the end of the round) wins the round.

Sounds very fitting for the Headhunter theme. What do you guys think? (I have no idea if this is a game mode in past Halo titles)

I’ve been toying with the script for something similar… except that there was only one target on each team.

Your version should be relatively easy to script as long as we can act on the killer. Unfortunately in H5 you could only act on the victim - which really limited what we could do (no Juggernaut for example).

But I think it would be safe to assume that Infinite will allow us more info from each death event.

It sounds nice on paper but then could lead to toxic player situations where a random teammate keeps taking the kills from your hitman, causing them to lose.

That actually sounds kind of fun, complex but fun. Their names/tags wouldn’t show up until you were close enough so you’d have to pay attention to see what their armor looks like. This is interesting.

edit: nvm, I just woke up. I realised your target could have a different outline color or some sort of mark to help you recognize them :person_facepalming:
