| ==Overview==
| | The objective of this game was to pick up [[skulls]] scattered across the map and carry them to certain points on the map to score points. When the player killed another player, that player lost all the skulls he carried. |
| Headhunter is a free-for-all gametype in ''Halo: Reach'', where players fight for flaming skulls and return the collected skulls to their designated (but mobile) deposit zone.{{Ref/Reuse|1UP}}
| |
|
| |
|
| To collect skulls, players can either grab the ones that spawn at the start or kill a player. A player with no skulls still drops one at death. When collecting the skulls, players are tagged with a [[navigation point|navpoint]] indicator above their multiplayer models which reveals the amount of skulls collected, even if they are in [[active camouflage]].{{Ref/Reuse|1UP}} The more skulls the players collect, the bigger a target they are. If a player is killed, all of the skulls will be dropped and opposing players will be able to collect the skulls.{{Ref/Reuse|1UP}} In addition, players will not be penalized for carrying the skulls and will be able to access all his/her weapons and abilities. The default game-winning score is 25, though if the player manages to deposit 10 skulls at once, they would obtain a [[Skullamanjaro]]. It is important to note that the player will not receive any points until they deposit their skulls into a territory. After a few seconds pass, the deposit zone will start flashing. This indicates that the zone will move in about three seconds, so waste no time depositing your skulls.
| | The gametype however, has been confirmed to be making an appearance in the [[Halo: Reach Multiplayer Beta]]. PENIS |
| | |
| ==Medals and awards==
| |
| The [[Skullamanjaro]] medal can be achieved in the Headhunter mode by scoring ten skulls at once. Scoring a Skullamanjaro on an [[Anniversary Map Pack|Anniversary map]] in ''Halo: Reach'' unlocks the [[Bounty Hunter]] achievement, while scoring a Skullamajaro in the ''Halo: Reach'' component of ''[[Halo: The Master Chief Collection]]'' unlocks the [[Negative, Ghostrider]] achievement and the Headhunter [[Nameplates/Halo: The Master Chief Collection|nameplate]].

| Headhunter was one of several [[Cut Halo 2 gamemodes|cut gametypes]] initially planned for inclusion in ''[[Halo 2]]'', and can be found referenced in the final game files by using the ''Halo 2 Map Editor Tool''.<ref>[[:File:H2V Headhunter map editor gametype data.jpg|Headhunter reference in ''Halo 2'' Vista Map Editor]]</ref> The mode existed in [[Halo 2 Alpha|alpha]] and [[Halo 2 Beta|beta builds]] of ''Halo 2'', and functions similarly as it does in ''Reach''. Players drop skulls upon death but unlike ''Reach'', skulls are not scored until the end of the round.{{Ref/YouTube|Id=Vadam|kQffv-MARsc|The Vengeful 'Vadam|Full Analysis of the Halo 2 Private Alpha|Time=427|Detail=7:07}}{{Ref/YouTube|arbMXDSDv_w|Lord Zedd|Halo 2 Beta - Headhunter Gametype}}
| |
| | |
| The Headhunter mode was ultimately cut from ''Halo 2'' not due to issues with development, but instead because of bottlenecks with user interface design for the game.
| |
| | |
| Headhunter was later one of the modes featured in the [[Halo: Reach Multiplayer Beta|''Halo: Reach'' multiplayer beta]].
