Someone’s gonna do it, I may as well give my attempt at it since I love building maps and custom games.
Until forge is officially revealed, I’m going to work off of brainstorming assumptions.
I do not support the idea of an official battle royale mode in Halo Infinite!
It’s far more important to get the tools needed to try to build one with good forge and custom game options!
I’d like to call this gamemode something more interesting than ‘battle royale’. Thinking Crucible is more fitting.
Crucible
Scavenge the landing zone and fight to the last man standing! 24 player FFA. 2 lives.
You start the match on a deployment bay, with no weapon in hand (Same as how you start a weapon drill. Melee only until you find a weapon!)
Ahead of you is a selection of teleporters with various location labels. A timer kicks in that will kill you if you do not choose quickly. You rush to the Alpha dropzone teleporter and are now in free fall over the zone.
Your hud pings the nearby control beacon structure. When you hit the ground, you spot a downed pelican and check it out. A sidekick. Definitely can hold your own with this, but you’ll be in trouble if someone with a longer range weapon spots you. The battle has already begun, as you can hear nearby gunfire. Better make your way to that beacon structure, spartan!
You reach the beacon tower without being spotted, and you’re in luck. No other beacons have been activated! You hit the controls and the beacon is deployed. The nearby storage opens up to you and awards a grapple shot. Since your beacon was the one to be activated, the zone will close in on this position. Better dig in and arm yourself, because every spartan still on the field now knows where you are and will be forced to head that way.
(That’s just the running idea I have for inspiration. Can’t wait to see what tools I will have available for this!)
