Nope, not even a little bit. Halo isn’t about scavenging and the amount of work to balance a mode like that would make it a whole seperate game… now if your talking about a separate game where you play as an odst dropping onto a planet and having to scavenge and fight I’m listening.

Not now. They need to address the xp progression for a start.
But at some point yes, I would like to see a stand alone Halo Battle Royale and I believe we’ll see one at some point.
Yes I do want a Battle Royale mode.

I guess I’m in the minority.
I would LOVE to see a Halo BR.
…not because I would want to play it, mind you, but because it will bring players to Halo in droves and I would like to see Halo restored to its rightful place as the most popular and famous FPS.
However. I think that it should be handled differently than other BRs.
- Everyone should start with a weapon
- Every weapon should have a conistent spawn position
And, this is just aesthetic, but I would love drop-ins to be first person, inside of a drop pod. Perhaps even with limited or no alteration to your landing position, you just choose it on the battle map and are dropped in.
The ONLY reason I would want 343i spending any resources on it is to make the gametype possible, and to establish the baseline of the game. Perhaps to create a playlist for it. Aside from that, I wouldn’t want them working on it in any capacity- all maps and game mode alterations should be handled by the community.
Just my two cents.
Edit: Oh but they have a lot to fix and implement before I would want them even touching this.

No, I would rather have them focus on more unique game modes than chase a fad. We have like 4-5 major BR games out there right now. We don’t need another.

No, Thank you. I’d rather them focus on the core gameplay. I’m tired of BR games where I’m getting killed by someone 500 miles away who I can’t even see.
If you people don’t want battle royals then don’t play it . How does it hurt having it ? Btw last man standing game modes have been around since the inception of fps .I understand the perception that brs are kiddie games or whatever but battle royale is more than a fad it’s a core staple in fps now. At one point objective modes were fads. It will kill this game if they don’t have it.
You literally scavenge for weapons in every halo what are you talking about
No. Halo is not that kind of game.
Battle Royales are pretty slow. You spend time match making with 100 player, wait in a lobby until everyone is ready, go through the cutscene where the battle bus or troop plane comes in, wait, jump, fall, fall, land with nothing, find a weapon, find attachments and armor and whatever else, run in one direction for a few minutes, get sniped, maybe get a chance to redeploy, lose 99/100 times, loading screen, rinse and repeat.
First we don’t know if Infinite can do 100 players. The Halo engine tops out pretty easily, historically. Next Halo has a great sandbox sure, but in a large play space to accommodate 100 players the only viable weapons will be the Sniper, Battle Rifle, Stalker and Shock Rifle. I have no idea what attachments you’d pickup, Halo doesn’t really do attachments and even if they did then that’s no really Halo anymore in my opinion. Fighting for a chance to redeploy in a small arena like the Gulag in MW would be neat, but at that point just play arena.
I think BR is a bad genre. Even the ones that are successful in it, I think are unplayable, joyless time killers, like idle games. It’s a cookie clicker where sometimes you get the chicken dinner and feel really cool, but the other 99% of the time you’re twiddling your thumbs and praying for good RNG on your drops.
(Also I don’t consider Halo slow whatsoever.)
The gunplay, the movement, everything feels like it’d make a nice BR on a huge open map. It might even be the first FPS BR I’ll actually play. So yes, I would like to see it, but not now. 343i has many things they need to fix before they start working on a BR.
I have no interest in playing Battle Royale. I basically just want ranked, social, SWAT, and BTB personally.
No, we don’t. That is Halo players don’t. Call of Duty players can go back to Call of Duty k thnx bye.

Not at all, focus on more variety with existing halo game modes and create new ways to play (forge would allow players to help with this process), BRs are cool but I personally never got why they are so popular

“Don’t you guys want battle Royale?”
In one word, No…

I wouldn’t be against one but 343 needs to add in a LOT of missing content before then:
- custom game browser
- modes: (swat, infection, grifball, fiesta, ricochet, etc)
- maps (the current lineup isn’t living up to halo quantity and variety standards)
- features (more granular playlist support or match composer, veto, better custom game options like starting equipment, custom game preset saving/sharing - might arrive with forge)
