when I first heard that 343i was adding team regicide I instantly thought about normal regicide, which made me cringe a little, but to my pleasure it was WAY better than regicide.
after playing a few dozen games of team regicide I can honestly say this is one of my favorite playlists in halo 4.
343i please make this playlist permanent, I know how important popularity is and all but if theres a decent amount of people who wish to play team regicide then I see no reason why you wouldnt keep it.
so what do you guys think? do you think team regicide deserves to be in halo 4 permanently?
btw I hereby giveth team regicide the title of guardian, just regicide being in the name instantly makes people not want to play it in my opinion.
I’ve played it, it was enjoyable. More so than the original. I am on the fence though but i am leaning towards “yes”. Hell, ditch FFA Regicide for this if we have a choice. Bring back traditional FFA.
However, it seems that the king must play much more passively in order to avoid giving the team free points (that waypoint is a beacon for team shooting). While i have no problem with the campier aspect, i have found that players that are king keep charging in much to my dismay. I joined these games late, so i don’t get much of a shot of being king mind you.
I don’t like blaming my team mates because some of the fault lies within my -Yoinking!- mistakes but i have to wonder if some players are using their brains and playing the gametype correctly.

I think some of the misconceptions come from regicide being in the name, regicide by its its nature is FFA oriented which means that cooperation isnt something a typical regicide player would be accustomed to. like I said the name should be changed to guardian (GOW shoutouts are in order) just because of how radically different it is from regular regicide.
in their defense team regicide`s main objection is to kill enemies, although the king has a definite effect on the outcome its still based around killing people.
> It sounds like Halo’s version of Gears of War Guardian which was the 2nd most popular game mode in Gears.

> If so (haven’t played yet) then yes, I hope this becomes a permanent mode in the end.
its not the same as GOW`s guardian was, but yes guardian was very popular in GOW2 and to some extent GOW3 aswell.
If I get king, I usually remain king for the entire match, and constantly fight 1v2 because no one on my team will protect the king.
If I’m not king, it’s given to the guy who constantly rushes them and dies, giving the other team massive points with no way to compensate.
It shouldn’t simply give the player with the most points king, as often enough it is someone who just rushes in constantly, gets one kill, and dies. This keeps them being king the entire match while the rest of the team can’t do anything to help win if the other team is protecting their king or playing defensively.
If someone has the most points and the most deaths, they shouldn’t be given king. I could see this game being fun if you run with 3 other friends, but going in alone with people that don’t play the game to win is just boring. Good players should be able to compensate for bad players by playing exceptionally well, but that’s just not possible if you get stuck with a poor king.

that has almost nothing to do with the gametype itself, you could apply the same logic to ANY team orientated gametype.
a ranking system would alleviate this problem somewhat but I guess thats neither here nor there.
just because your teammates are bad doesn`t mean the gametype is too.
> I hope they keep this permanent as well. If SWAT stays in then Team Regicide should stay in.
although I find SWAT to be rather boring, I will admit its a classic.
if you`re implying that SWAT is terrible and that any other playlist would be better then just stop right there, show some respect for the SWAT community as well as SWAT in general.
I hated Regicide, not sure why but I just did. But earlier I played Team Regicide and like the OP it became one of my faves. Halo 4 has changed my views on a few of the playlists if im honest.
Its fun unless you have one of the games where you become king because evryone else on your team is just bad, and then get destroyed because 4 pros are team hunting you
> Its fun unless you have one of the games where you become king because evryone else on your team is just bad, and then get destroyed because 4 pros are team hunting you
so true
like I said before this would be solved (mostly) by having a ranking system, I`m not try to derail this thread or anything but if you just so happen to enjoy playing team regicide alone then the ranking system thats coming early 2013 may very well be of great importance to you.
