Am i the only one who thinks it absurd that 343 decided to add arena breakout to the team arena playlist? The game mode itself is awful and I thought that the team arena playlist was supposed to mirror the tournament rules and gametypes and Arena Breakout is not in that ruleset. I am tired of playing such an awful gametype literally every other match it is insane how much that gametype comes up in the playlist.
Really? Im the only one in the entire community that hates that gametype and how much it is played in the team arena playlist?
Arena is basically the competitive or the “mlg” playlist of yester-halo, so it makes sense being in there. I don’t l**ove breakout but its grown on me, and variety is always nice.
I almost never touched the team arena playlist before because I didn’t like getting random games with low shields. Now it’s all I play.(aside from team slayer occasionally). I love team arena in the playlist. Now if they would only remove slayer from it, that would give me a reason to play both playlists. I also could choose if I want to play slayer or not.
I only play team arena playlist, Im saying that the addition of Arena Breakout (instead of regular breakout which is the “mlg” ruleset for tournaments) in place of regular breakout is absurd. The gametype Arena Breakout is absolutely awful in my opinion, I dont mind regular breakout at all but the arena breakout having full shields on regular maps just doesnt work.
I think it’s absolutely ridiculous to force players to play such an awful gametype.
It’s fine for a lot of people that can just run scrims and avoid that awful playlist all together, but what about the people that are trying to get better and do t have those high quality players to play against for the tournaments that are being run on the competitive circuit?
Everyone dashboards this gametype, people quit on this gametype more than any other I’ve noticed, and it literally makes zero sense in a competitive setting.
If you are down 1v4, there is NO WAY you will win that round against good players with full shields.
It is a joke there is no voting for maps, its a joke that we are being forced to play something we have no say on.
This -Yoink- gametype literally makes me want to stop playing this game and that sucks, put it in its on playlist. I don’t care how great of an idea you guys thought it was, its not, its garbage.
Get rid of it.
I can not believe it’s still there after the update. Unreal.

100% AGREED. I came back after the update finished started up team arena and first match was “breakout arena”. They put in the effort to change the gametypes name but not remove it all together. It’s absurd really, it is honestly the worst halo gametype I have ever played in all of the halos.
I’m a huge Breakout fan, but Arena Breakout is probably the worst mode I’ve ever played in Halo. The game mode only works on maps that are designed for it. I hope they take it out soon.
Breakout is awful. Both versions. If you want to play it, you have the option. It shouldn’t be shoved down our throats on the arena playlist. The arena playlist has enough problems on its own, it doesn’t need the epic fail of breakout added to it.
I like Breakout and Arena Breakout, but I don’t like it being in the Team Arena playlist. If I wanted to play with Breakout’s rules, then I’d go to the Breakout playlist. Team Arena should be for objective gametypes and Breakout for any and all Breakout variations.

I agree. It seems so obvious not to mix Breakout and Slayer and Team Arena game types in the various playlists.
I like Breakout. However, I agree that gametypes with dedicated playlists (Breakout and Slayer) should be less represented in the Team Arena playlist. Gametypes without a dedicated playlist, like strongholds and CTF, should be more heavily weighted to appear in the Team Arena playlist.
I just want breakout arena out of the Team Arena playlist, it should mirror tournament play in my opinion, and it did at the start of the game. They need to go back to that, every halo has had an “MLG” playlist and Team Arena should be that playlist or a tournament playlist should be added.
It’s leaving, one of the devs tweeted his morning
I hate this playlist its so unfair to a 2v1 if they had a system when the last person got an over shield in a 2v1 or as a team member died the shields would deplet so it would be fair but unless you got the shotgun or just two idiots on the enemy team your not winning that 2v1 fight
