Meeeko Posted November 30, 2012 Report Share Posted November 30, 2012 http://blogs.halowaypoint.com/Headli...n-112912-.aspx • Fixed scripting issues in Regicide • Fixed exploit locations on Solace • Fixed KotH on Complex • Fixed Mantis spawn timer on Meltdown • Made late joining improvements to Join in Progress in all game types • Reduced the window for Join in Progress in Slayer game types • Made improvements to Join in Progress for uneven starts SWAT, to absolutely nobody’s surprise, continues to perform well so it is sticking around for yet another 7-day time period of rotational goodness. FFA Throwback, however, will be swapped out for Team Regicide come the next Matchmaking update. Team Regicide is an all-new game mode in Halo 4, and it is a much different experience from the FFA version. The leading player from each team is crowned King and is worth a fixed 25 points to the other team; this makes protecting your King just as important as killing the enemy leader. Team Regicide features several medals, HUD, an announcer VO unique to the team variant, and is a heavily teamwork-focused game type, emphasizing many 4 vs. 4 team encounters and strategy. Unlike FFA Regicide, the King’s bonus does not fluctuate as the King gets kills. Below are the maps that will appear in the Team Regicide playlist. • Haven • Adrift • Complex • Solace • Abandon If you are unfamiliar with Regicide, here are some tips and tricks to get you prepared for your upcoming encounter with royalty. • Protect your King: Keeping your King alive is the key to success in Team Regicide. The other team will know where your King is! • Communicate: Keep an open line of communication with teammates and your King. • Use the boosts: It’s often best to time an offensive when your King has a power-up for that extra advantage in a team fight. • Hunt the enemy King: Especially if your team is down, the points are almost always worth it! Here is a preview of the planned settings for Team Regicide.

Saint Mudknot Posted November 30, 2012 Report Share Posted November 30, 2012 Fantastic, thanks for the in a nut shell version!!! Team Regicide sounds like a spin on classic ViP gametypes, from things like Counter Strike, but with a lime twist. very cool, look forward to trying it out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elliot Lewis Posted November 30, 2012 Report Share Posted November 30, 2012 does any one know when we will be seeing the extraction game type? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unseenz Posted November 30, 2012 Report Share Posted November 30, 2012 I am actually excited for Team Regicide, even though I cannot stand the FFA version of Regicide. So glad they are getting rid of FFA Throwback, its terrible, meaning it should have been a mixture of slayer gametypes with the objective ones, not just objective ones. Great post.

MegaLowVoltage Posted November 30, 2012 Report Share Posted November 30, 2012 Thanks for posting this, OP. I can't wait to see the kind of dynamic that comes about with Team Regicide. Also, SWAT is great fun imo. I hope it never goes away, but I'm sure it will eventually be rotated out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rush0024 Posted December 3, 2012 Report Share Posted December 3, 2012 Uhm Doubles? Standard FFA? I don't always have (actually never) have a party of 4 or more. That's where doubles comes into play. And Doubles was always populated in previous Halo games. I think everyone at 343 is smoking some dope or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
