I find it a little strange that we still have yet to receive word on any new modes to go along side Campaign and Multiplayer. Ever since ODST we have always been gifted with something else on the side of those two core modes, ie Firefight, Spartan Ops, and/or Warzone. At the end of last month’s Inside Infinite, it was stated that our multiplayer Spartans are going to become a bigger part of the Halo Universe as a whole. This is most likely referring to the aforementioned mysterious/unconfirmed 3rd mode.
Any ideas as to what a potential 3rd mode could end up being?
Reach and 5 was the only game with this “third” mode. ODST had no multiplayer and lacked machmaking for firefight if I recall. Reach was the 1st game to have 3 “modes” and no, I am not counting forge as thats not really in the same category. I would highly suggest lowering your expectations for a third mode and prob even lower them in the context of firefight. While I think its possible to be there at launch, I also think its the weakest and least important addition. They need to get the core multiplayer and the modes associated with that right first.
My guess is some sort of Spartan Ops - type game, judging by what was teased at E3 (that “bigger role” for our Custom Spartans)
I think we didn’t get many details yet since the E3 stuff was so multiplayer focused, but I hope they give us more info on the campaign and any new modes (Firefight, Spartan Ops, etc.) soon
Maybe your 3rd mode is already announced but you weren’t paying attention .
the Training academy
The possibilities are endless for the training academy’s uses especially with the bot support being added and I imagine being built apon . I truly doubt it’s just a shooting range only
.when you boil down firefight it’s effectively a horde mode , H4 took it step further and added a albeit clunky story and reused maps . So horde mode with extra steps
h5 added a pvevp element with req loadouts . So horde mode with a pvp element attached .
I can see the academy with the bot support bridging a 'design your own horde mode ’ element that halo has never had before but always hinted at through forge and the sandbox .

I agree with this, this is the first time in a Halo game that we have a proper place to hone our skills, improve our aim, practice movement, test damage types and the effects they have, etc, etc. That alone is one mode that I am looking forward to due to my admittedly late start in the Halo series, giving me a chance to catch up.

Oh man now I am hyped just thinking about my custom spartan actually mattering to a story.

Me too, the little tease they gave sounded really awesome to me!

No point in revealing all the cards just yet. We know we have Campaign, Multiplayer, Forge, Custom Games and Academy. I’m willing to bet money that Multiplayer will have some form of PvE mode(s), which could very well be our 3rd mode. That, or an even larger version of BTB

I’m calling it now. The Academy is going to be the most revolutionary mode we’ve seen in Halo since forge. Very few active fans are going to fully appreciate it though (I think) since it’s biggest impacts will be for new players and sustaining the player base
