TR is a fun twist on Regicide and it may allow us a way to recreate VIP gametypes, but I wouldn’t want to keep it around at the cost of one of the core gametypes.
And wouldn’t the alternative of merging KoTH into Oddball be better?
The fact that they’re rotating playlists on a weekly basis makes it difficult to get upset about. It’ll return ere too long, either in its original incarnation or modified somehow.
The rotating playlists are one of the things I really like about the game – reminds me of the old Double XP weekends on Halo 3.
I think KoTH and Oddball are good candidates for rotating playlists. They aren’t consistently popular, so rotating will keep them fresh, and probably have more players in the long run.
With DEXP weekends in Halo 3 compared to some of the permanent playlist in Reach, we’ve seen that if players assume they can always do something, they don’t do it as much. If you make it limited, players will play it while it’s around, because who knows when it will be back. The less popular objective gametypes (i.e. anything not CTF) are a perfect fit for this philosophy, and combined with the daily challenges (win X KoTH games), they should keep Objective playlists in this game working when the population continues to drop.

I am sorry but of all the gametypes, KoTH is the one I’d want gone. I just have bad memories of H3 lone wolves with crazy king and with all the Halo 4 changes with insta spawn its not fun more than ever. I like TR so far though its like VIP except it changes based on points.
yeah its limited, they should just keep both, its a joke that there even trying to act like it’ll split up the population too much considering how in halo you could always get mlg matches when its pop was always under 1000
They removed insta respawn in CTF, well, I couldn’t do it atleast in several matches, so I think they can fix KotH, but Regicide has proven to be very popular, and KotH hasn’t been as popular. They should mash together Oddball and KotH in an objective playlist.
I’m pretty annoyed they decided to take out ‘Team Snipers’, I mean it’s all great having these fun game types, but were are the Halo original game types, such as ‘Lone Wolves’(FFA)?
