Breakout - SMG Return

Greetings,

I would like to express an important concern of myself and my fellow comrades to the Halo Community. We are certain this view is held in high regard throughout the community: the shotgun in breakout. I am part of a small fireteam who frequently enjoy a game of breakout and we are striving to improve our skills in the gamemode. However, it cannot be enjoyed to its full extent due to it’s current state of disrepair.

As a team, we believe the initial primary weapon; the shotgun**, is a very sub-standard weapon to be included in a competitive gamemode such as Breakout.** This weapon is perfect in a leisurely gamemode such as Infectio**n.
Although, the shotgun is very inconsistent; the ranges can vary incredibly and the fire rate is very ill-balanced. This makes enjoying a competitive gamemode an extreme challenge, thus decreasing the potential for pleasure and playability. Because of this, we pledge greatly for the SMG to make a return. We believe the SMG is an incredible weapon for the gamemode and worked wonders for tactical gameplay in the first edition of breakout.

Our fundamental basis for the SMG’s return is that the shotgun drastically varies in range and stability. Therefore creating a potentially unfair advantage and imbalance during gameplay.

Thank you greatly for your time,

-Head, Lank, Pump and Flab

Amen to this. The shotgun kicks off a whole host of issues with the new Breakout, considering they added flippin’ radar and switched the flag cap. It’s a total mess now.

Strongly agree with you bro; SMG’s need to return.

I have no strong feelings towards either the Shotgun or SMG being the main starting weapon.

shotgun with radar… i think that makes more people sit at the corners

Yes, sitting at corners is indefinitely against the tactical drive behind the gamemode.

As a wannabe Breakout YouTube channel (the first ever!) I am onboard with this idea.

I really hope we see the return of the original Breakout. I enjoyed the gameplay so much better than 2.0

I think dropping the pistol and having SMG only starts might be worth testing.

Possibly but the pistol does add a ranged element. However this idea is considerable.
