Team regicide is easily one of the most fun playlists they’ve added to date. FFA regicide is stupid, seeing as it unbalances the way FFA slayers are played, but team regicide is like a version of slayer with a side objective, easily one of the most fun to perform. Not only does your team have to set up to protect a player, but also use him in a way that he can put in shots/get kills without dying himself. It makes for creating interesting flanks, and requires a good amount of teamwork to best an opponent.
It also has absolutely no personal ordinance. This makes it feel like the only slayer gametype somewhat balanced, wherein infinity slayer feels like action sack random power weapons, and TS pro, with the instant spawns, plays in a sub-par fashion, team regicide creates some interesting dynamic plays and rewards for keeping your king alive, etc.
A moment of silence for this playlist however. I don’t see it continuing to stick around considering how fast 343 is removing playlists, or better yet, “rotating” them.
Excpect it back once every 10 weeks or so, until then, expect more silly rotational hoppers
Team Regicide is the first playlist that’s actually given this game new hope, and I’ve seen literally no reason to play Team Slayer while it’s here.
As good as this playlist is…it doesn’t come without it’s problems, Overshield Camping is a problem & Complex being in the map rotation is a problem.
Besides from that, the playlist is the best co-operative game type we’ve had added thus far, the lack of personal ordinance balances things out, the king’s waypoint lets players know where the fight is and creates better and more frequent skirmishes, it’s great with friends and is fun to play both on the offensive and the defensive.
I hope this playlist becomes permanent at some point.
Now, if we could just get a VIP variant…that would be perfect!
Complex is just a pathetic, ridiculous map but Team Regicide is an excellent playlist.
Easily my favourite and a whole lot better than Infinity Slayer.
if they want to rotate a playlist, it should be FFA regicide and not Team regicide. they should also come out with a real FFA
I’m guilty of not having played much of it lately because I’ve been playing a lot of Crimson DLC, but I think it’s awesome.
