Though battle royals is fun and all, Big team battle attritional fights are what makes FPS games the most competitive and fun. More players are what makes the game feel like a REAL battle. 12 v 12 is just too boring. Find myself looking for enemies to kill because they’re not around the combat areas of the map. Boring.
bigger number isnt always better
128 players in Halo would most likely ruin the dynamics of what has already been established and works incredibly well, I had so much fun on btb. well apart from the tank dropping 30 seconds before end of the match, but that’s a different topic.
I Agee. But only because Halo is not designed and has never really been designed to compete with Battlefield. Halo was built to be an arena shooter. When it comes to dynamic and gameplay though. I don’t think Infinite could handle this mostly because the maps are too small for that. We’d need much bigger maps for this to work. But a future Halo title could handle it. To be honest, they’d be better off making a Halo spin off series that is designed to compete with the likes of battlefield but have it be a UNSC vs Covenant Empire game. Because then the main Halo games can remain as arena shooters.
The maps are designed to play 12v12. Consider Battlefield 2014, it’s 64 vs 64, but the maps are absolutely HUGE. The player density overall on a map on Halo is probably the same if not higher than BF2042. 64 vs 64 you would not be able to move on even the biggest BTB map! Furthermore, having huge lobby sizes like that will hurt the longevity of the game since it takes longer to find a full game.
I think it would be really cool to have a large map with lots of environment that isn’t necessarily open to sniping across 5 blood gulches in length. for a large scale battle like this. I think it could be amazing if the map was large enough to accommodate that many players and try to force the smaller skirmishes through preformed paths or something. I Thought big team battle back in the day on Halo 3 was epic, I couldn’t imagine on a battlefield scale map!
