Halo 4 'Ninja Assassins' Playlist Incoming

343 Industries has revealed that Halo 4 will be receiving a playlist update that will add 'Ninja Assassins'; an 8-player free-for-all game type in which Spartans are kitted out in custom armour, equipped with Energy Swords and Sniper Rifles and outfitted with a Thruster Pack.

Motion trackers are switched off, and you'll bag 10 points for each kill, with Assassinations bagging 30 points. The idea revolves around levelling up during each life by getting successive kills, with one kill awarding Ninja Level 1, two kills boosting you to Level 2 and three kills in a row getting you to Level 3.

Each level brings with it boosted attributes, as follows:

Ninja Level 1
Shields recharge at a faster rate (2x)
Assassinations performed at a faster rate (2x)

Ninja Level 2
Shields recharge at a faster rate (2x)
Shields recharge sooner than normal (after 3 seconds)
Assassinations performed at a faster rate (3x)

Ninja Level 3
Shields recharge at a faster rate (2x)
Shields recharge sooner than normal (after 2 seconds)
Assassinations performed at a faster rate (4x)
Unlimited Thruster Pack energy

You'll be able to check out the new Ninja Assassins featured playlist in Halo 4 through April 28th.

  • Only 3 kills for unlimited thrusters?! That's kinda OP. But I'm glad they're throwing in the fun playlists from halo 3. Looks like me and my buds have a reason to pop our discs in again
  • Yea I guess fixing the glitched achievements is asking too much.
  • People still play Halo 4?
  • people STILL play gears of war 1...i just cant see how killing the same group of people over and over for years can possibly be fun
  • Still waiting for that patch to fix the glitched achievements.
  • I didn't have any trouble with the achievements, what are the glitched ones?
  • Wow, why is 343 still devoting time to this? I mean, where did this come from all of a sudden? To bring people back to a dead game? This just seems unnecessary really.
  • They should be focusing on Halo 2 Anniversary.
  • @2 I agree with this person. I gave up trying for the only achievement I need left back in december.
  • Aha, so that what leveling does in this gametype, interesting. It's a fun gametype but I hate when people just roam around with energy swords without sniping, they should lower sword kill scores to 5
  • This game still has players? Didn't have the lasting appeal of all the other Halo games
  • This game sucked. WTF are they still even doing anything with this. How about 343 working on Halo 2 instead of wasting time with this garbage. Halo 2 needs some TLC. Lotta bugs to fix from the original Xbox release. Then after that try not to make Halo 5 suck as well. But wait logic WTF is that?
  • Nice
  • Why? This game died the moment it was released. #bye343
  • How many people are still on Halo 4? I may be tempted to play this mode if there's enough people still playing it
  • Gametype is meh, I've been only playing in this playlist for the shocking achievement and still no luck finding players who have the DLC!
