Halo 4 War Games Weekly and Daily Challenges - 11/6/12

Please subscribe above this and/or follow me on twitter! Have any ideas or comments about the challenges? Post them down below! 

The Challenges:
Your Majesty - Win 2 matchmaking Regicide matches. - 1250 XP
Regicide is a, sort of, new gametype in which one player is marked as the king (regi from rex, regus - king and cide likely from caedere - to kill in Latin) and the other players receive a multiplied score when killing him/her. As this seems to be a slayer, score-based gametype you will win by ending the game with the most points. Killing the King most likely makes you the king so I would consider this to be Juggernaut without the supped up powers. Expect this to take as many as four games to complete.

Deposed! - Earn 10 Regicides in a single Match. - 2500cR
This one actually seems pretty challenging, to be honest. A Regicide is earned when you kill the King in a game of Regicide in War Games. You need to do that ten times in a single game. You can be entirely screwed over if the other players are sub-par and a really good guy gets to be King. As well, if you end up as King, try to die immediately. Killing yourself will not count for this challenge so you need someone else to be the King. You will end up playing at least two games, if not four, for the "Your Majesty" Challenge so hopefully you get this done before then. Have any good strategies for this? Post them down below.

The Weekly Challenges:
Spartan Takedown - Kill 75 players. - 4100 XP
So, the general assumption, at the moment, is that the number of kills you score per a team based game will likely not change too much from Reach as long as you stick with similar gametypes. You have the entire week to earn these seventy five kills and the "One, Two, Three, Four..." challenge has you going for a hundred and twenty-five Multikills medals so that pretty much takes care of this challenge anyway. You can likely get this done over a couple of days, not need to use an entire week for this challenge, though.

One, Two, Three, Four... - Earn 125 Multikill medals. - 6750
XP Well, there are starting us running right out of the gate. This is a lot of multikills to score but not necessarily in a single week. Now, we do not have a Grifball playlist in Halo 4, so you will have to do without until that is brought in (if it every is). Multikills in Halo 4 seem to be extremely similar to Reach expect I do not see the Killionaire medal listed under this challenge. It is unlikely that you will get a Killionaire and I am not even sure that it exists in Halo 4, but we will find out eventually. In terms of gametypes, Flood (new Zombies mode) and Big Team are always good options but it would likely not be a bad idea to give Dominion a try (replacement mode for Invasion). Will update this once I have spent more time in the multiplayer with some better tips.

  1. I was either lucky or good enough to get 2 wins in only 3 games of regicide, but 10 regicides in a single game seems nearly impossible. I was only going for the king in my games and if they are marginally good (which they should be if they're winning), they'll kill at least 1 other person every time you kill them or you'll take the lead. You also cannot kill anyone but them or you'll win too quickly.

    The closest I got in the 3 games I played was 6 and I only had 20 kills before I won.

  2. Yeah, I never really saw anyone else get ten regicides. I don't even remember seeing myself get it, but apparently I did. I just wonder how long I stayed in there thinking I had yet to get it.
