I like the new maps and the weapon layouts but Breakout was way better without shields. The only people who were complaining and wanting shields were idiots who didn’t know the concept of using objects for cover and not running in to the middle of the map thinking they can rambo and ended up getting killed all the time.
Breakout was meant to be way more tactical then Arena or Slayer cause you only have 1 life each round. It was also a lot more fun without shields and the games were faster.
Don’t try to tell me or convince that its better with shields cause you wont. You’re wrong, I’m right.
I also don’t think any of the power weapons need to be highlighted in Breakout. They just need to be there and for the players to find them.
Thers more people playing it now that it has full shields. I think full shields is 10x better than before. The only things i dont like is the shotty secondary and radar.
It feels more like a tactical match than before especially since you have to pull flag to your side ( i think thats way better).The team sitting back is forced to come out of the cave they are hiding in to stop the flag cap. I think its great.

Actually they do to be honest. I’ve seen them post in the forums before.
I think people like you and me were the minority when it came to Breakout being better without shields.
It seems game designers for multiplayer gaming these days though are becoming incompetent.

Your statement doesn’t make sense.
You say its better with shields.
Yet you don’t like secondary shotty or radar
Then you say it feels more tactical
I think with a radar its much less tactical cause you don’t have to use your surroundings and hearing abilities as much to know where players are. When it didn’t have radar it was much more tactical. Now its just another slayer mode with just 1 life.
Also when it didn’t have shields most people that played Breakout often just killed each other until one was left standing. There was hardly ever winning the round with a flag point. Why there’s a flag I have no idea.

Now you have the option to pull an early flag forcing the enemy team to push so in that sense its more tactical. The radar does ruin it but the whole shields thing makes it way better than before.
I like the shields much better, and the neutral flag makes matches go quickly. In the old breakout ttk was too quick, yet people camped and drug each round out forever.

I think we played a match together on Breakout yesterday.

This attitude makes me not want to respond.
I think Breakout 2.0 is more fun. Still a little iffy on the Shotgun starts, and not exactly the biggest fan of Knell, but I like it. Of course, there’s also the fact that I hated old Breakout, so I might be a little biased.

I liked old Breakout and like this Breakout. I wouldn’t mind if they change it, but flag system is something must be kept with current one in my opinion. The issue comes from location of flag, if it gets little tweaks, it might solve the problem. Full shield allows players active longer on the field, which I like about it. Shotgun or SMG, do not care which one 343 goes with. Magnum should be standard, not extended mag. Power weapon also needs to change, Plasma Caster obsession needs to stop.
I personally don’t have a problem with the new breakout, but I will say that 343 probably should have just made it a new game mode altogether and left the old breakout alone. There is nothing like an original concept and its preservation.
Breakout was nearly SWAT when the shields weren’t in place.
Featuring it as “Halo 5’s premier gamemode” without an important signature of the franchise is something I dislike.
Honestly enjoy both iterations, only issue with the update being the radar, remove that and it would be a fine heir to breakout. The radar takes certain skills away from the mode.
