Juggernaut is a somewhat twisted form of tag. While it resembles [[Slayer]] in that one must amass so many points to win, there are two major differences.
The Juggernaut's purpose is to kill as many players as possible in order to amass points. The other players' goal is to kill the current Juggernaut, in order for them to become the next Juggernaut. To counteract the [[Spartans]] and [[Elites]] out to kill him, the Juggernaut is sometimes aided with overshields, [[Active camouflage]], increased speed, increased damage, increased damage resistance and infinite ammo (not bottomless clip).


The goal is to kill as many people as you can if you are the juggernaut, and to kill the juggernaut if you are not. To counteract the angry mob of [[Spartans]] and [[Elites]] out to spill his blood, the juggernaut is sometimes blessed with greater shielding after assuming his title, plus a variety of other customizeable things, such as active camo, run faster, damage resistance, [[weapons]] power,unlimited ammo, a like. This is one game variant where alliances can quickly go sour.

==General Tips==
*When you're the juggernaut, it is important to take cover whenever under heavy fire.
*Try not killing someone just as you become Juggernaut, as you are not Juggernaut until a moment after you kill the Juggernaut, if you do, you may accidentally betray that person, and you might get booted if the betrayal booting option is enabled.
*Try sticking together in a team.
*Get to the power weapons before the Juggernaut. (does not apply to the ''Halo: Reach'' version)
*Communicate with your team-mates.


The objective of this game is to not get killed by the juggernaut, hence the name. The juggernaut has an overshield, and the players have [[active camouflage]]. The juggernaut radar is turned off, but player radar is turned on. Map Default or Pistols for map weapons, and the sword and pistol for the juggernaut & players. A suggested level for this is a small level (eg. Lockout)
