Last Spartan Standing Critiques

Games Halo Infinite
1

Honestly, although I was kind of ‘meh’ over Last Spartan Standing, I’ve started to warm up to it the more I play it. I’ve actually come to like it a lot more than regular FFA and if I ever get FFA Challenges from now on, Last Spartan Standing will be my go-to game mode to complete them.

So in the interests of improving it, I’d like to make some critiques.

  1. I do think the circle needs to start closing in faster to help speed up the game. It’s a big map, and although I like the slower, more spaced out gameplay that keeps it from being as chaotic as regular FFA, I think it could be sped up a little as there are times where I’ll just wander, especially if Spartans are being knocked out. Maybe have the circle close in sooner, pressing people to get into fights, and maybe help against camping just a little.

  2. The weapon loadouts could use some diversity. Throw in Sentinel Beams or a Covenant/Banished-focused loadout that players have to adapt to. Just find a way to mix them up a bit more.

  3. Something needs to be done with respawns. Towards the end of the game, when you’re down to the smallest circle, and people are dying and respawning outside the circle does not make for much of a very enjoyable or satisfying ending. I got my first LSS victory by getting killed inside the circle, spawning outside of it, and killing the last guy with my BR before the circle could kill me. I can’t say I was really proud of that victory. I’m thinking maybe just have a point where all lives are reduced to 1 for a Sudden Death? I think it could dissuade campers a bit more if it means their camping and lives stocking becomes more ineffective while those who actively fight and level up have weapons like the Bulldog and BR that’ll give them a better chance at victory during such a Sudden Death.

Yeah, just what I think is the most major critiques with anyone free to add to it. I admit, as much as I hated the idea of a Battle Royale for Halo, I’ve found this tiny version of it to be legitimately fun. And since we have it, may as well suggest improvements for it.

I really like LSS and think it has a huge potential to be a great permanant and ranked playlist.

It needs a few adjustments tho.
The Bulldog should be a power weapon with 1 mag and can be found in drop pods. The last two levels have bulldogs as secondary weapons that is to much imo.

Last night I’ve played on Deadlock and I really enjoyed the night atmosphere in LSS.
What if “spartan outlines” are disabled in LSS? This would be a nice thing and the game would be more intense.

What do you think?

Switch Loadouts and remove Outlines for LSS (maybe ranked only)?
