I’ve thought a lot about a Battle Royale in Halo Infinite but think about this, imagine a 50vs50 Big Team Battle, following the mechanics of weapon stations like in Halo 5’s Warzone, imagine a CTF of 100 players, all the destruction that would be in a game mode of that size.
I 100% would prefer a 50v50 BTB mode over a battle royal.
Seeing that one Spartan running across the battlefield with the flag would look so glorious. It would take forever to capture a flag, but who cares when you’re having so much chaotic fun?

it would be a warzone wink wink nudge nudge
It would be chaotic like a real battlefield because of the number of players but it would also be truly glorious and fun.
Heard a rumor earlier this year they would have some emphasis on Big Team Battle, like a 2.0 version inspired by the multiplayer from Battlefield, and we know how big those matches can get. I’m sure Halo Infinite will have at least one gametype focusing on larger online pools, Halo 5’s Warzone was somewhat of a start.
I would love 50v50, for now, I’m cautiously optimistic for 24v24.
I would love to see large scale battles like in Battlefield. Banshees, hornets, scorpions and wraiths. Large scale maps, strategic points, and domination style flags. Oh yes please.
50vs50? Will that happen? Probably not. Realistically it would be 25vs25 if anything.
As long as there is no req packs, no weapons hidden behind paywalls or packs.
You should capture stronghold points to gain access to power weapons and vehicles. Incentives for pushing onto the map. So people just don’t sit at the base for power weapons, or to save K/D. More 1v1 duels, and cluster fights will happen. in various areas, than just mid, or the base. Your base should have automated defences to help push back K/D padders. (these can be destroyed, and can respawn).
I.E. Valhalla (love the map when people actually play it, instead of turtling up and game slows wayyyyyy down).
BTB in general is a social gametype, and should be treated as such and improved on.
An evolution of BTB would be super awesome. The rumor is right now that 343 isn’t working on a battle royale but instead a big update to Big Team Battle complete with pelican drops of vehicles and power weapons, as well as squad spawning and other things like that. A 50v50 mode would be awesome, and the technology could definitely handle it. A Rush style game mode a la Battlefield would be awesome, and would encourage people to flow throughout the map instead of just holing up in their base with a sniper or something.

Would be a great journey for that Spartan.
Imagine a map with 5 distinct areas.
Two areas are bases with vehicle spawns. Each team has a home base they capture to allow player spawns in similar to Warzones bases.
The other three areas make up the rest of the map. One area has a bomb, one area has a flag, and one area has a big KotH objective.
- Plant the bomb at the front of the enemies base to score an objective point. - Take the flag from point A to point B for an objective point. I don’t think team bases should be involved, as much as a start and stop point that are both equidistant from each base. - Be the first team to accumulate 240 seconds (4min) in the hill to score an objective point. I’m trying to think of how to incorporate slayer and the no-respawning part of BR into the match too.
Something like this is how my imagination approaches BtB 2.0, but this seems to complex to make work.

I hope they keep the classic btb, but I would love to see a 50 v 50 mode. Maybe something similar to battlefield

To think that the flag would even move
50v50, sounds a bit large but larger scale battles is a mode that I’ll like to see in Halo. However, weapon balancing definitely needs to be accommodated to the mode, arena weapons made for 4v4 won’t work in a 50v50 considering how large maps will have to accommodate for the high amount of players.
Even Halo 3 BTB has this issue where weapons that isn’t the battle rifle are rarely use (excluding power weapons and the bruteshot) while some of the weapons aren’t very strong to begin with like the AR imagine how exacerbated the issue would be in a 50v50.
P.S: ^Clearest example is the map Stand off.

There’s bound to be that one person who plays the objective like they’re supposed to. Can’t say it would be me though lol.
Y’all realize this game is supposed to run on an Xbone from 2014, right?
This would be fantastic. I can just imagine massive firefights in the middle of a map, with bodies of spartans and wreckage of vehicles stacking up on one another.
So much chaos… That could rly piss me love, but love to see it.
50 v 50 with pay to win weapons of mass destruction.
Anyone?
