I cannot forsee the circumstancial validity as to why this playlist exists, whats everyone else’s view on this?
It’s a bad gametype, but now we’ve got a team to share the pain with. I’d say it’s like VIP, but VIP was static default and Regicide, like much of Halo 4 is just random in the way that, if you’re the king of your team, trying to stay alive to the enemy doesn’t get point bonuses, you’ll have a gungho team mate jut go rack up points then take your crown, while he’s up on the frontlines, then he’ll die.
Not a good gametype in anyway shape or form. I’m sure it looked neat on the drawing board, but it’s awful in play.
Surprisingly I don’t mind it as much as I though I would. I did a few matches with a friend of mine and it was a lot less painful then some of the other game types. I was king for a good amount of time and even with most of my team just charging blindly into the fray I managed to just run around picking off enemy stragglers or those that would charge into the open coming after me.
I like that you get powered up the longer you stay king which really does reward teamwork since some random player going lonewolf can get wiped out very quickly by a king with both overshield and damage boost. Sticking together and watching each others backs pays off big since you can quickly rack up points due to very few being able to take a whole team head shoting you at the same time.
However, like with most objective oriented match types if you always play alone there is a painfully high chance that you will get a crappy group and just spend most of the time slamming your head against the wall while watching your team get wiped over and over.
I thought it was rather fun. Aside from the fact that once someone is the leader it’s pretty much set in stone it’s a decent gametype imo, the FFA version isn’t that great but it’s much better than KOTH.
I view it like this: Everyone has an opinion, and they’re all entitled to it.
played it for about 2 hours last night. i enjoyed the time i spent playing it, but it definitely isn’t a bread-and-butter game type.
good for a few matches… nothing more, nothing less.
I like it. The only bad thing is if you get in a match by yourself with a team that plays together and your the king, the deaths can rack up quickly. I recommend playing this game type with an experienced team for success.
I actually like it. Of course, I am not as much of a lone wolf player. But, I didn’t even forsee them actually implementing the playlist. This was especially after they denied the request for straightforward FFA and did KOTH/Oddball FFA for a week.
I’m playing it for as long as it goes in an attempt to build up a decent amount of wins. Otherwise, with a 1 in 6 change, it’s going to be awhile before I get all of the victories.
Surprisingly I enjoyed it. I don’t know that it has much longevity, but it’s way more fun than the ffa version.
Team regicide is fun but i was hoping for team doubles.
It’d be better if once the leader got killed it would switch to someone else.
I actually like it a great deal. It’s slayer without the blandness of slayer.
But what I don’t like is losing the crown as king because someone else get higher points than me. As a team based gametype it’s counter-productive if you’re like 10 seconds away from damage boost and you lose the crown.
I think its fantastic. It’s my go to gametype now ahead of infinity slayer.
Also loving the way it has no personal ordanance.
Team Regicide should stay.
I like it. It’s fun. Wouldn’t mind if it stays.

I disagree. This, to me, is a countermeasure to camping. As king you are forced to take part in the game and continue to score points at a rate consistent with your teammates. This means you can’t just camp out and farm power ups.
I played a bunch of games yesterday and really like it. It was refreshing to have a game with no personal ordnance! I don’t mind the scoring, as someone else said it forces the king to keep getting kills which is good. Pretty fun gametype as it mixes things up a bit from your standard slayer.
For the record I do not like FFA regicide…at all. I’m fine with it being the only gametype at first, so people can try it and determine whether they like it but I really hope they bring in FFA Slayer as an option soon!
I just think 343i should start releasing these random playlists that no one asked for AFTER they’ve “Restored” 2, 3 and 8 man gameplay which is standard for Halo. There’s no reason whatsoever to remove Double Team Slayer, Multi-Team (No one seems to remember, but this was 3v3v3v3 Slayer/Objective Mix) and BTB:Objective. We just haven’t been given any answers as to why we aren’t allowed to play with our friends in those 3 circumstances- Only one other friend online; Only 2 other friends on, OR MOST IMPORTANTLY- An entire 8-man squad who are tired of boring old Slayer.
I just can’t see the logic- So the answer must be- There isn’t any.
Really hoping 343i can save Halo before it’s too late. I mean all they have to do is restore the standards. I’m not even bringing up the elimination of 1-Flag, Assault and how the upcoming Extraction is restricted to 5v5.
5v5 Objective is a waste of time.
Please offer 8v8 to bring Halo 4 on par with other consoler shooters!
We really want to love this game!
Thank you.
I kinda enjoy this game type. I love Regicide, and I was honestly hoping for a team doubles this round, but it’s whatever. I find this game type at least a little decent.
I played one game of it and that will be it. I was King for the whole game on my team and it forces a play style that isn’t really what I want out of the game for 4v4. VIP in Halo 3 at least rotated the role but having a target on your head for 7 minutes really blows after a while.
Personally, i think i prefer regular regicide. I’m more of a lone wolf player, execpt from team doubles, my team skills really come out then. But i guess they kind of have to in that or you just fail epicly… oh dear forerunners please bring back team doubles!
