Does Attrition need more rounds?

I actually like this mode a lot, one of 343’s best new inclusions (I think it’s reminiscent of breakout in 5), but it always ends much too soon. Can we get a best of 5 format to really get the blood pumping? Every time I play the mode, I’m shocked it’s over.

And when is assault coming back? I dunno who at 343 figures it’s not important, but I miss this one from Halo 2 like nobodies business.

I, too, love Attrition and think it’s one of the best new additions to Infinite. The problem is, Attrition is very divisive in the community. So while I agree that the mode feels as if it passes by too quickly, I doubt extending it to a best of five instead of three will be met without outcry from the fans. It honestly isn’t too upsetting with how fast the games go, but I would be interested in seeing how more lives might play into the equation. Maybe 12 instead of 8.

And speaking of breakout, that was a really fun game type. I wonder why it didn’t make the cut in Infinite.

I miss Breakout a lot.

Not only was the gametype fun, so was the aesthetic. I know it wasn’t very popular on Halo 5 so we are unlikely to see it come back. Such a shame.

I’d love to see them do what Splitgate did and have those Breakout style maps, very tiny, 2v2 or 3v3, elimination style.

I don’t think it needs more rounds, I think people just need to learn how to play more conservatively. More often than not I see rounds ending before the first danger zone even comes in because people just run out solo and feed like it’s regular Slayer.
