Breakout 1.0 was my favorite gametype of them all. I would love to know why they removed it months ago. I hope they bring it back because I feel as if it is more competitive and takes twice the skill of breakout 2.0. No shields, no radar, no shotgun and even capturing the flag is different. In comparison, I give the new breakout a 3/10 awful. If anyone would could give me feedback on why they haven’t brought this back to matchmaking I would appreciate it. Thank you.
In terms of competitiveness, it’s about the same. The same tactics that worked in 1.0 (namely camping corners and waiting for people to walk by) work just as well in 2.0. I’d even venture to say that 2.0 is slightly more competitive since you have to work harder to get your kills. The only real difference to me is that 2.0 makes the flag an actual legit option for winning rounds.
In any case, they haven’t gone back to 1.0 because there’s more people playing Breakout after the changes than there were pre-changes. Or so it has been said.
Feel free to use the breakout refresh feedback thread.
