Spectral Jester Posted April 17, 2012 Report Share Posted April 17, 2012 It seems that 343 Industries' efforts to shake up Halo 4's multiplayer with new modes and an overhauling of classic game types will also see the introduction of a new mode called 'Regicide', in which one player assumes the role of King and everyone else seeks to usurp his throne and kill him. It's like Game of Thrones in space. The new mode is revealed in a video interview with Halo 4's Lead Multiplayer Designer, Brad Welch over on Game Informer, detailing a twist on the free-for-all deathmatch. Killing the King in Regicide grants you the huge bounty upon their head, while killing the other players will still grant you a point apiece. The bounty on the King's head increases as the match progresses, until they're dead. There's also rumours echoing around the web that later today will see a major Halo 4 announcement, with reports suggesting that a November 6th, 2012 release date might be revealed. Rest assured we'll have the news for you as soon as it drops this afternoon. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
My BR iZ RusTyy Posted April 17, 2012 Report Share Posted April 17, 2012 I wonder if it'll be like Juggernaut where the "King" has overshield or increased damage or speed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TerribleTimbo Posted April 17, 2012 Report Share Posted April 17, 2012 I'm glad you can still get points on other kills besides killing the king/being the king and killing others. That's one of the things I never liked about juggernaut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
11LSTANLEY Posted April 17, 2012 Report Share Posted April 17, 2012 Sounds just like juggernaut to me, but without the Hammer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCPO Mayh3m Posted April 17, 2012 Report Share Posted April 17, 2012 I remember when this was called "Juggernaut". Interesting game... I wonder if the name change will get it any more action? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stealth Pilot Posted April 17, 2012 Report Share Posted April 17, 2012 Sounds like fun with 32 players > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
