Breakout will have a LOW Player Base

Games Halo 5: Guardians
1

From What I played it seems like this game mode will be put out to pasture fairly quickly.
I may be wrong but everything that makes round based games good seems to be missing here…

  1. You die very fast, there is no “being downed” like in gears so you instantly die and then must wait for the match to restart.
  2. The map shown is very boring and small, very little in terms of variety for strategy
  3. Will power weapons even matter? You die so fast anyways picking them up seems unimportant.

Of course I could be wrong but this is my impression. Why can’t we have breakout with full shields?

I haven’t played it yet but, I don’t like the sound of lowered health. Health should be normal.

It’s good for the competitive people. Power weapons aren’t really the name of the game here, just knowing where your opponents are is the biggest thing. Although the BR can 3 shot people and the AR is a very powerful alternative to the SMG which makes picking them up worth it. My biggest problem with it are the one-hit kill grenades. I think they should be map pick-up only rather than spawning with one.

Its supposed to feel paintball-ish and makes you play very carefully and matches are supposed to be pretty quick. It looks fun, but I’ll def have more feedback after I play a lot tonight after work

I think it will be a hit for the ultra competitive types… but casuals and lone wolves need not apply…

So yes it, will naturally have a lower player count, but they will be loyal.

PS. If you don’t think the maps are not welcoming to strategy, I can only assume to don’t play paintball or speed ball…

6

It will not be a hit with the highly competitive types.

It’s a pretty stale gametype overall. Gets old fast.

7

Breakout seems like a really weird version of the classic Elimination gametype.

8

Yeah no lone wolfs here… Going in as a team is a must or you’ll get slaughtered. I’m loving it and think I’ll be playing a LOT! Shoot me a friend request if any of you guys want to run some matches with us. “Gun fer hire” is the tag

The BR needs to be removed immediately. Its to powerful and whoever picks it up literally just camps back and picks people off.
Remove grenades all together along with the BR and it’ll be a lot better.

10

Yet to actually find a game of it as it just keeps going into endless loops trying to find players and failing.

From the description I don’t think it is my kind of gametype anyway. Being able to revive downed teammates within a certain amount of time would be good. Inject biofoam into the armour or something.

11

BR is too dominant.
Why is it spawning on a BR platform? Should just remove the plat because it promotes camping. Put the BR’s in a high risk/reward area.

12

It should be just your base smg and pistol. one grenade is fine but no other weapons seem necessary, thing is you NEED a team for this type of game.

13

I’m loving it. It is boss as all hell.

14

Its kinda like swat.

BREAKOUT IS F*NG AMAZING!

Breakout isn’t supposed to have power weapons. It’s a… different gamemode.
