(Also whenever he says “No. We are NOT doing this as of now…” he’s driving home the point that they aren’t doing BR, not that they aren’t flying players in a blimp to an island"). “Big social modes with loads of organic shenanigans” can mean many different things. This could easily mean BTB, Infection, etc. And this isn’t the only time he’s gotten across that they aren’t doing BR. Look back to all the other times they said no. Like how the only BR they’re interested in is a Battle Rifle. After he said that this argument of whether or not it will have BR should’ve been over.

Thats like comparing Battlefields Conquest to BTB territories. They are not relative or remotely similiar in terms of gameplay.
> > > > >
> > > > > 343 and O’Connor have stated multiple times that they jave no interest in BR, and that to focus on such a ephemeral trend would be arbitrarily hurtful to the integrity of the franchise as a whole.
> > > >
> > > > That is not an accurate statement at all. I watched a recent interview with Bonnie Ross, and she said nothing of the sort. In fact, she stated that Battle Royale is talked about a lot in the studio, she also said she was impressed with Apex and what Respawn have achieved. I’m not sure we’ll see a Battle Royale with Halo Infinite, but the studio has got an interest in the genre, and I think we’ll see it at some point.
> > >
> > > They have stated multiple times that they are not interested in it, not once have they said it is something they are planning on.
> >
> > Go watch the interview with Bonnie Ross. Then tell me they have no interest. I think we’ll see it at some point. Especially after what Bonnie Ross said. I don’t know if we’ll see it with Infinite, but I can see them doing a stand alone title, like Apex for example. Games like Fortnite and Apex are incredibly popular, they make a ton of money too, 343i would be silly to not consider a Halo Battle Royale imo. Also, if they do make it a stand alone it won’t affect Halo fans that don’t want it, they can simply ignore it. I love Titanfall but won’t play Apex, there’s no choices. Halo fans against Battle Royale, or not happy with what it offers could do the same.
>
> I wouldn’t quite say it wouldn’t affect Halo fans who don’t like BR. When you have a series that has built itself a reputation over the years and in this case decades, each game whether tied to the main arch or not will be considered by the fans in one way or another.
>
> To say that it won’t be considered is well, kinda ludicrous. Titles like Halo, CoD, Gears of War; they will always get the attention of the fans the moment they see the familiar words. So, in this case if they were to make Halo: Battle Royale, it would get everyone who has ever played Halo’s attention and not always for the better. Fans who dislike it will voice their opinions and will most likely steer away from the series from that point on because they will believe that the company has gotten to an all time low that they would flock to the current trends to try to keep up rather than do their own thing to stay above water.

I didn’t say it won’t be considered by the fans. Please point out where I stated that. I dislike Apex, but I still play Titanfall, I despise Halo Wars but still buy the main games, Halo Wars is a game some fans will enjoy, same goes for Battle Royale. What I stated is players will have the choice. Either play Halo Battle Royale, or avoid it if you don’t like it. Like I said, I don’t like the Halo Wars games so I avoided the second after trying the first. I also don’t like CTF so I avoid it, same applies to the Spartan Assault and Strike Halo games.

Players that feel the same about Battle Royale can avoid it if they don’t like it. Assassin’s Creed is another franchise where I don’t play all the games. I didn’t like the side scrollers, I simply avoid them and did not steer clear of the franchise. Also, I can tell you there’s a 50 / 50 chance I’ll buy Gears 5, it’s 100% no to the Funko Pop Gears though. So no, players won’t view new genres as an all time low, I would like to think most would view it as appealing to a wider audience, and that’s what it is imo.

"Also, if they do make it a stand alone it won’t affect Halo fans that don’t want it, they can simply ignore it" to not be affected by it means to not consider it. And that’s great that you can accept games having functions or variants that aren’t to your taste, but you don’t speak for everyone. While I won’t say that I do, there’s a good possibility that many may look at any Halo BR game and be turned away from Halo altogether. In the latest generation of game creation, games have simply been unable to stand up to the gamers expectations. The more gaming evolves, the more players are going to expect. This is a part of the reason many beloved series just aren’t as popular as they once were; the players expected top notch quality and felt like they were robbed when it didn’t deliver. Halo has suffered from this too and so a lot of players are on edge with every new installation. Having a BR game with such a strong number against it (I’m going by how many disagree with Halo getting a BR from here not as a total tally but a small partial) will likely cause those who already had doubts to completely turn against the company altogether and the numbers will dwindle further.

(Had to edit the initial responses, it made the post too big to submit)

You could say that there’s a good possibility that many would look at a Halo Battle Royale and be more invested in the franchise. As for how many want BR ? You cannot go by the minority in here imo. They did a poll at one point, it was something like 33% for 33 % against and 33% undecided. Like I said a stand alone Halo Battle Royale will not affect anyone that is not interested, they can simply not play it, no if, buts or maybe. As far as Titanfall and Titanfall 2 goes, both saw an increase in players after Apex dropped. Halo could benefit too, or not. I see a Halo Battle Royale happening, I doubt we’ll see it with Infinite, but I do think it will happen. There is an interest in it.

This could easily mean BTB, Infection, etc. And this isn’t the only time he’s gotten across that they aren’t doing BR. Look back to all the other times they said no.

I don’t know if we’ll see it with Infinite, but I can see them doing a stand alone title, like Apex for example. Games like Fortnite and Apex are incredibly popular, they make a ton of money too, 343i would be silly to not consider a Halo Battle Royale imo. Also, if they do make it a stand alone it won’t affect Halo fans that don’t want it, they can simply ignore it. I love Titanfall but won’t play Apex, there’s no choices. Halo fans against Battle Royale, or not happy with what it offers could do the same.

I’ve watched the interview before, and I’m taking Frankie’s word for it. It has been stated numerous times that they are not interested in battle royale. They said you could probably create your own, but that is the farthest they have gone in confirming anything. Btw, games like Fortnite and Apex make tons of money cause they are FREE and riddled with microtransactions, is that what you want for Halo? They make so much money because of how easily they lure in little kids and tweens by making the games cartoonish and free, as well as making people pay money to change their appearance alone. That is an extremely ephemeral trend that will not last for another 3 years, considering Fortnite is already on its way out. Meanwhile, how long has the original Halo’s playability lasted over the span of time? Oh yeah, that’s right, over a -Yoinking!- decade. I, and many industry analysts, would guarantee you that Fortnite lasts nowhere near that length of time.

Well I’ll take Bonnie’s word more seriously. Yes a free to play Halo Battle Royale would be fine for those that want that, and free games need money, hence micro transactions. Also my children play Fortnite. I gave them each a season pass for £10, they earned every season pass since without additional cash, and earned several skins with V Bucks they earned in game each season. Halo 5 charged us full price and tried to bait players to buy chances to get items quicker with the egregious req system.

How is Fortnite on it’s way out ? It’s still the most played game on Xbox and PSN last time I looked, in March this year they were close to 250 million accounts with approximately 10 million concurrent players, and an estimated 80 million unique monthly log ins. I think Battle Royale will be around for a long time. I also believe we’ll see a stand alone Halo Battle Royale at some point, I don’t think Halo Infinite will have one though.

> You could say that there’s a good possibility that many would look at a Halo Battle Royale and be more invested in the franchise. As for how many want BR ? You cannot go by the minority in here imo. They did a poll at one point, it was something like 33% for 33 % against and 33% undecided. Like I said a stand alone Halo Battle Royale will not affect anyone that is not interested, they can simply not play it, no if, buts or maybe. As far as Titanfall and Titanfall 2 goes, both saw an increase in players after Apex dropped. Halo could benefit too, or not. I see a Halo Battle Royale happening, I doubt we’ll see it with Infinite, but I do think it will happen. There is an interest in it.

I’m actually doubting that people will look at a Halo BR and go “aw man, Halo looks like a lot of fun!” because they’ll see a side of it that kind of never existed until such a point. I won’t say it’s an impossibility, but I’d honestly doubt it. I also never said I was taking what was shown here as the ‘total’ of the community. I even said in parenthesis that I was taking the forums as a partial. You also can’t go by the poll either because it could also be a mix of the minority of the total community.

Saying ‘don’t like don’t play’ is almost like the situation when it comes to spoilers on the internet “don’t want to be spoiled of what happens? Don’t look!”, it’s all over the media, there is no ‘not looking’. Halo BR will likely be advertised in every corner of Xbox and other media; for some or even most it might feel like having it rubbed in their face.

Overall, the reason that Titanfall became popular after Apex is because both games play relatively the same. Halo BR and regular Halo most likely will not. Titanfall made for expansive battles because of the Titan’s, Halo doesn’t have that. We’re super soldiers; sure, we have pilotable mechs, but they’re nothing like the Titans.

I’m all for new innovations added to Halo, but Battle Royal just isn’t something I personally would welcome. If it ends up becoming a thing; I’ll still love Halo, but I’ll be disappointed that instead of making its own thing, it chose to follow everyone else.

It is a case of don’t like dont play. Games are always pushed with advertising. If you don’t like it you dont buy it. Just like previous examples I gave you. I see games advertised on the internet, Halo and many others, if I don’t like them I don’t play them. What’s the difference with Halo 5 being advertised on every corner of the internet ? Because it’s BR some people will feel it’s being rubbed in their faces ?

Titanfall and Apex both play differently, Apex does not have wall running, it only offers 3 man team play, it looks very different and it feels very different and there are no titans. That’s what makes it interesting. I would prefer more choices with Apex, solo queues, duo etc.

I’m also for Halo innovating, it can do that and have a stand alone Battle Royale. I would love to see a Halo Battle Royale, I think it could be the best. I have issues with Apex, it offers no choice, Fortnite is not my thing because of the building. So I play neither. There’s definitely room for Halo to enter a title to the genre imo.

A Halo Battle Royale does not need to be like Fortnite or Apex, it could easily innovate that genre, just like it innovated the FPS genre.

It’s a matter of opinion; you are ok with it, I absolutely despise it. So I suppose we can only agree that we disagree with each others views on the matter.

An interest? well duh, any studio interested in using hype to basically print money is interested, the issue is MOST of these battle royales are more stale than a chip thats been under your couch for a couple months. With all of that being said, I wouldn’t mind seeing a Halo BR in the same space as a “Halo: Spartan Assault”; meaning it may not get the AAA treatment where you have to pay the $60 to play a BR you’re going to get bored of due to content droughts (like BO4 and Apex). Again I think it COULD work, I just don’t think it needs to be in infinite and instead would rather see 343 mimick Respawn in such a way that a potential BR “pushes” people to other Halo games like Apex did for Titanfall 2.

Of course it’s a matter of opinion. I’m ok with Halo BR, you’re not. I support certain things you said, and others I don’t. It’s the same with everything, we all won’t agree all the time, thank goodness too. It would be a very boring forum if we did agree with everyone on everything.

I think it would be interesting to have a game type like war zone but you are teams of Spartans destroying an infestation of flood. Say you and maybe four other Spartans are fighting wave after wave of different flood forms pushing deeper into an area to set off a device that will rid the area of all flood, you are allowed to revive teammates twice but after that they become a flood combat form and attack the rest of the group. The player only being able to watch as the combat form attacks his team, and the only to have a full team again is to finish the wave. I think it would amazing to have the customization options of different armor pieces that would help you in this game type. Anyway just an idea.

Isn’t that the truth lol. It can seem frustrating when others don’t agree with you, but in the same light, if everyone agreed with each other, no advancements nor changes well needed would ever occur.

The thread has moved on quit a bit since it first started. I don’t believe Halo Infinite needs Battle Royale to stay relevant. However a stand alone Battle Royale is something I would be interested in, and I’m not a little child. I also know many that feel the same and quite a few that don’t. I do believe we’ll see a Halo Battle Royale at some point in the future, but I’m not sure about Halo Infinite.

You have Jeff on a livestream stating they’re only interested in the Battle Rifle, which does not confirm or deny it. Then you have Bonnie Ross on interview saying they discuss Battle Royale all the time, which does not confirm or deny it. As stated, I think Battle Royale will happen, whether it’s included with Infinite at launch, later as DLC or a stand alone remains to be seen. Hopefully E3 will give us the answer.

Ricochet_049 · May 3, 2019, 10:07am

I feel that battle royal modes can already be achieved through custom games.
it would make a good addition to action sack but not as a prime mode. Capture the flag and other team modes are better suited for halo mechanics.

TheOverburdened · May 3, 2019, 2:01pm

Excuse me if this has already been pointed out and no hate to the trend at all, but halo doesn’t need a battle royale to stay relevant. The series has a huge fan base as it is and if anything, I think it’ll push long time fans away and attract people looking for the next best thing, which usually doesn’t last long at all. I think if anything, add a survival mode and have waves of flood attack the players. Battle royale doesn’t need to be here, and if you still want it, why not create it in forge? This is just my opinion.

i respect your responce i really do but i hope to god if and when they do announce it hey do not have battle royale although there are some small aspects of it that sound interesting it would completely shake the very foundation of what halo means and what it means to the fans

I don’t think they’ll announce Battle Royale with Halo Infinite, that’s just my opinion though. I think we’ll see a stand alone Battle Royale in the future, just my opinion again. I could be completely wrong, it wouldn’t be the first time lol.

Nano_Hypercube · July 2, 2020, 4:57pm

It has been 2 years since the question was asked if BR is required for Halo to stay relevant.

Activision Blizzard released Call of Duty Warzone, EA released Battlefield 5 Battle Royal, Apex legend is doing great - Ubisoft released Hyper Scape Tech test today - Fortnite is still the king the BR - PUBG still maintains top 3 most played game on Steam chart - CoD Warzone & Fortnite remains the most played game on XboxDid your opinion changed after 2 years of seeing where the industry is today? Do you think still Halo needs/doesn’t needs BR to stay relevant? For me, I still think they do after seeing the popularity & interest in BR even today and that it will continue for years to come.
