Will King Of The Hill Be Next?

Games Halo 5: Guardians
1

Now that Assault and Ball gametypes are coming is King of the Hill/Crazy King next? So much fun over the years playing those modes.

2

Probably Infection will be next.

3

It would be nice if they would bring infection and king of the hill next month

4

I hope so. I can understand why King wouldn’t have been as much of a priority since Strongholds is kinda similar, but I do hope it comes along too.

5

Hopefully King of the hill will come along at the same time as infection. Some of my fav halo memories come from Koth games!

6

You can expect the return of infection next month. I’m doubting KotH.

Functionally, there’s little difference between Strongholds and Territories… Which is a multi-zone King of the Hill game. So what’s missing? Only they know. The scripting could be completely different for similar results (parallel evolution).

I’d just like have played a lot less Strongholds in BTB. Crazy King, CTF and Assault would be nice mixes. Even the return of Extraction so that the territories are rotating and the gameplay flexes a little bit.

Agreed. I actually enjoyed Extraction. I found it played better on smaller maps when you could quickly get between Extraction points.

Also agreed. I’d like them to continue the trend set by this month in adding new gametypes with each update. I’d love to see the return of…

  • HeadHunter
  • CTF Varients(1-flag, Stockpile etc.)
  • Race
  • Juggernaut/VIP/Regicide

I’d love to see king of the hill!

We need KoTH before infection. What is everyone’s obsession with infection.

11

Hopefully Infection and KOTH are added in next Month.

12

I’m hoping they flip that switch and put Oddball and Ricochet in match making.

Seriously, why is it only in Customs?

Agreed! I really want Oddball in matchmaking. Would love to see KOTH, and it has been suggested by a lot of people to be included in Team Doubles too, where I personally think both Oddball and KOTH would compliment Slayer nicely.

I’ve never played Ricochet before and I may be wrong but it sounds to me like more of an Action Sack game-type?

14

Hopefully they bring KOTH back, don’t know if they will because they have strong holds

15

I miss KOTH. I hope they bring back the objective playlist.

16

Is oddball actually coming back with assault or is it just assault. Also king of the hill and one flag would be great

17

If 343 is smart Infection will be next then King of the Hill after or at the same time. Infection should be top priority after Feb update though

Yes Oddball is coming back!

19

yay, but really, whats with the hype about infection its fun when playing with mates, but other than thats its like a childs game lol

I think they’re mostly working on Infection now and that it’ll release in April. March will bring the release of official Oddball and Ricochet variants into matchmaking, since it’ll take them more than a month to build and test Infection. After that, I’m sure their next target will be King of the Hill and specifically Race/Rocket Race as a variant- perhaps alongside the return of the fan favorite multiteam playlist (with Rocket Race, KOTH, Oddball, and Slayer as gametypes).

Then the only big missing gametypes would be Juggernaught (which should be fairly simple to make), VIP/Regicide which aren’t good enough to warrant a return and the two Reach modes Stockpile and Headhunter which I actually doubt we’ll ever see in Halo again (not that they weren’t super fun…). Invasion also won’t happen here.
