this mode has me sold.
slower paced,tactical,requires teamwork.
i’m in for halo 5 based on this alone.
whats everyone else’s thoughts on breakout?
It’s a neat addition, I generally like search and destroy gametypes, BUT I really wan’t full shields in breakout.
love this game type so much!
Anyone else that loves this Breakout format, feel free to add me to team up @Shaman0610.
I am sick of having teammates quit after 1 round, and losing because we are 2 or 3 vs 4 and I derank a bunch despite posting a strong KDA.
Hit me up!
I think its hilarious that 343 is trying to pitch this gamemode as entirely new when all it is, is 1 life team slayer with multiple rounds. You could make this mode in like every halo before it.

Agreed, but it is still fun as hell and the two available maps play great, so I’m not going to nit-pick.
Anybody remember elimination in the beginning of halo 3? Almost same exact thing just regular shields.
I hope the Arena there is a Forge canvas specifically for Breakout maps so we don’t have to waste map pack space on a new Breakout map. It’s really fun, I think it’s the most addictive mode I’ve played since Infection.
So yea I’m sick of terrible teammates as well.
I’m Semi in Slayer and Strongholds but my friends hate breakout so I’m Gold 3 in it.
Add Hayterade bC and get at me.
I think mics are absolutely crucial in breakout.
Nothing worse than ending up on a team with a couple of lone wolf,run n gun types.
love the map designs, pretty balanced with some great choke points.
overall the aesthetic feels like Tron or The Running Man, which is great fun.
When your with a party or a (tolerable) team with mics, it’s gold
If we can forge these maps this game mode will have even more potential. Even as is if they had a rotation of maps in the playlist I could see this game type going to tournaments.
A great addition might be the option to really limit ammo, to make it even more tactical. Not by default but an option.
Wasn’t Breakout supposed to be fast paced, tactical combat? I mean what they showed and the timer on each round all point to it. Even the map doesn’t have many places to hide and there is a pit of grenades to use. It’s not hard to figure out where these slow paced players are hiding on the small map either.
What players made it out to be instead because of the TTK among other things is simply horrible. A lot of the time this slow paced mess the other players pull got them beat in a flash until they got the picture.
You don’t need the shields gone to make the game end faster. It only makes players fear for their lives more and slow everything to a crawl. And it’s just SWAT all over again, which is a waste. I like swat but as its OWN mode, not something that was intended to be something else.
This is horrible.
At first i was playing alone and thought it was all right but then i got my friends to play with me and it felt like we were in the secret service with all the tactical play and code names for areas of the map. so pumped for full game also i hope they add a few more maps for this game mode.

I must have missed this playlist in halo 2/3/reach and 4. Always something to complain about I guess.

Like SWAT? Minus the 3 shot for a kill with a BR. The BR can easily be overcome by 2 well placed Spartans wielding SMGs.The 2 minute rounds ensure it is quick paced. You will always have campers which are easy to overcome with a little fire and maneuver. I think you maybe need a brush up on tactics or put more time in this gamemode as it has a lot of potential.
It definitely requires a team to play with if you want to pass onyx.
Didn’t you forget you have a pistol at the start? >.>
This gamemodes boutta be hype!!! Can’t wait!
