So, I don’t think we’ll get Battle Royale at launch, but despite how you feel about it, Battle Royale will be implemented into Infinite one way or another. Instead of having a lack-luster version of Fortnite or Warzone, what are some fun/unique ways Halo can stand out?
I’ll go first. I think health and the first layer of shields should automatically recharge like in typical 4v4. That way when you first drop into an area, you’re basically playing FFA or Multi-team. Then overshields can be picked up and applied (without detriorating) and also be saved in a “backpack”. There would be different kind of overshields that apply the 2nd layer, the 3rd layer, or 4th layer of overshields. Of course they would take time to apply. Definitely a lot longer than in 4v4.
I had another idea. Instead of the “gas/storm” dealing direct damage to the player, the “outside circle” should be flood infestation. If you’re outside of the ring, a bunch of combat forms etc. will start attacking you. You would be able to fight them off for a little bit, …until you run out of ammo… (all guns etc. would despawn). The difficulty would ramp up with every ring and would also ramp up the longer you’re in it. There might be other ways of making sure people don’t camp outside of the ring.
It would also make the last ring fun. Imagine having to fight off flood AND the other players.
I’m honestly burnt out of the battle royale discussion. 343 has said at least three times now over the past few years that they don’t want to focus on any BR other than the BR75. If the game mode continues to thrive in other franchises, I’m sure the devs are going to consider adding one to Halo Infinite sometime in the future. But for the time being, all the speculation and fighting around battle royales has been done a thousand times over. I say we just save the discussion for a time when we have more information about 343’s plans for a BR.

I’m tired of this topic too. I hope 343i waste no time for this silly mode and focus on the important stuff, they got a lot of feedback from the community (from the last flight) wich means they have to work on that first. Additional to that it will come another Test flight (“tech preview”) wich brings more bugs and things to fix and balance and new feedback from the community to consider.
Even after launch i don’t see why Halo should have this mode. An Arena-Shooter wich has great modes with Big Team Battle, Ranked/Competitive, Slayer, Oddball, FFA and so on. Such nice game modes.
But i think (or at least i hope) a majority from the Halo Community plays Halo because of the Modes i mentioned in the upper line. I don’t get why the people want this battle “royal” stuff all the time. The Modes wich are important for Halo are so cool and full of variety, but yeah maybe i’m just a boomer^^
Why Halo don’t need an Battle Royale even if it could work nice;
Do it - when it’s there - in costume lobbies.
343 is following many trends at the moment but at least they don’t run for an Battle Royale Mode.
