This game type is even worse than the short-lived Halo 3 CTF Shwatguns. You are punished for playing well in this gametype. When out-kill the first place player 28 to 19, it is beyond frustrating. Get killed twice as king by same person and they receive 6 kills worth. What the -Yoink- sense does this make?
Please add a real FFA, this noobfriendly gametype that punishes players that do well is wrong on an infinite number of levels.
On a side note: Weekly challenge and today’s daily challenge (11/14) that require 18/10 regicides respectively, is about as impossible as it gets for challenges.
> Possibly if you played more you wouldn’t be bad at an FFA match…
I don’t think you read a single word that guy posted lol.
Regicide is sadly not rewarding the player that has the most kills and least deaths. It’s all about that one player who gets that lucky 30 point king bonus on you after you just killed 4 guys in a row and had no shields left. I’ve had matches where I had 30 kills and less than 10 deaths and almost lost still because players would get the king bonus on me to catch up.
If it was regular FFA no one would be even close to me in score with a chance of winning. Regicide is more luck in killing the king and getting that bonus when he’s weak than actually being good and killing everyone.
Perhaps the game isn’t intended so much to be a FFA mode as an “everyone against me” mode intended to push the limits of players who normally sit atop rankings.

First this gametype requires you to play well.
Second, noobs arent good at killing so this cant be noobfriendly.
I wouldn’t mind regular rumble pit being brought back. Halo should have it. But I enjoyed Headhunter (Reach) and Regicide even if they are a bit unfair.
Man, I love Regicide. Good time filler and sometimes the other players don’t pay attention to you when you are King (easy medals much?). LOL. Got my first killing frenzy in Halo 4 as King playing my first match of Regicide.
> Possibly if you played more you wouldn’t be bad at an FFA match…
You should read the OP.
You’re punished for being a good player. I played a few games of Regicide, while it’s fun for everyone else, it’s not so much for the guy who is King and destroying everyone. This weeks challenge is impossible to obtain unless you truly enjoyed constantly dying.
I’ve played 7-8 games of Regicide and I’ve held King for 90% of the time in those games. I won’t be getting the weekly challenge.
I Love Reigcide if you cant hang on to your points then you dont have the right to be king. I win because im good an if you have a bounty on your head an cant servie the 7 other players gunning 4 u there r other game types 4 u. ppl do still kill other ppl you can still win without killing the king you know. Its just more fun to kill the MAN when he has a bounty on his head for kicking major butt.
P.S.- i dont win by only hunting down the man with the 35 point bounty on him I STAY KING i love being hunted a true test of my individal skill apossed to a noob who hords the sniper or rockets an camps for there kills.
its a joke and with the constant pushing of regicide in challenges im wondering why 343 dont listen, they do a forum topic asking what the worst game type is 90 percent of people say regicide and ask for ffa and they just bring out more and more stuff wanting you to play it, they need to understand its a horrible archetype that only the bad players enjoy because it helps them win
I definately think there should be a ffa thqt doesnt have a marker over your head. what really gets me is when you are so far ahead that you are the king over and over until your score is passed. hardly have time to get your barings before you have a bunch of 1ton spartans crawling up your b hole.
> Perhaps the game isn’t intended so much to be a FFA mode as an “everyone against me” mode intended to push the limits of players who normally sit atop rankings.
Sounds like a really badly thought out version of Juggernaut.
> I like this gametype where it brings a focus on the top player and prevents him/her from camping all the game.
It encourages the top player to camp. In regular FFA you need to seek out kills or other players will win just by being in more combat than you. It does nothing having a 7-1 ratio because you camped, when the leader is on 25-19 running round looking for kills.
Regicide encourages you to camp because everyone is coming for you.
Not that it matters because without a trueskill ranking winning doesn’t really count for anything. You still get your XP.
Translation: “I cant be a mindless murder machine. This is a bad game type”
How to play Regicide like a smart person. Pick off Kings at opportune times, always try to lurk in 2nd place behind the current King and then make your end-game push for the lead. This isn’t that hard of a concept to understand.
i actually have a question. i was king for the entire game but i lost the game. when it showed the time each player had as king i was first but i came in 2nd. and the gut\y that won had a time of 0:00 but he still won the game. was this a glitch, was he cheating or what?
