During development, 343 briefly considered incorporating hero shooter (like Overwatch) into Infinite. This is just another example of them not understanding Halo, and trying to make any other type of game except Halo.

Yeah. I think a hero shooter mode could have been cool. Imagine playing as elites or hunters or various spartans. But to fundamentally make halo a hero shooter is such a silly idea.
Then again knowing 343, all the heroes would be spartans lol.

I think it would be a super fun mode. It’s a shame we won’t get anything like this in Infinite but boring spartan vs spartan. It’s a waste of potential, but maybe the next Halo game will have it.
343 really need to stop chasing trends and make some. 4 copied CoD, 5 copied Titan Fall and Infinite is aiming for a BR. We just want to play Halo because we like Halo. If we wanted to play these other games we’ll go play those other games. Don’t get me wrong, it would make a great mode sort of like Reach’s custom class system, but don’t make it the whole game unless it’s a side game.
The Act Man put it in the best way possible
“Halo 4 tried to be Call of Duty, Halo 5 tried to be Titanfall, and Halo Infinite tried to be Fortnite. Why can’t Halo just be itself?”
