Juggernaut
From Halopedia, the Halo wiki
Juggernaut is a multiplayer gametype available in Halo: Combat Evolved, Halo 2, Halo 3, Halo: Reach and Halo 2: Anniversary. It was originally a version of Oddball in Halo: CE. This was later changed.
Description
- There are two teams, the Juggernaut alone, and the players hunting him/her.
- The only person who can earn points is the Juggernaut (hence the title).
Juggernaut is the "Halo" version of tag. Although it resembles Slayer in that one must amass so many points to win, there are two major differences.
The Juggernaunt's purpose is to kill as many players as possible in order to amass points. The other players' goal is to kill the current Juggernaunt, in order for them to become the next Juggernaunt. To counteract the Spartans and Elites out to kill him, the Juggernaunt is sometimes aided with overshields, Active Camo, increased speed, increased damage, increased damage resistance and infinite ammo (not bottomless clip).

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 Juggernaunt. (not for the "Halo:Reach version")
- Communicate with your team-mates.
