It’s been a while since the release of Breakout 2.0 and I haven’t enjoyed it at all. I still very much prefer the original Breakout that we had.
I’m really curious, does anyone else want the original Breakout to return?
Do you feel like this wasn’t a good decision on 343’s part to change it?
Do you like the new Breakout?, and why?
I’d really like to see the original game return. I had so much fun with my buds playing Breakout 1.0.
Any additional thoughts, comment below!
I personally hate the new breakout and so do many of my friends. Its no longer the concept of breakout but instead just elimination slayer where a bunch of people camp corners with shotguns or noobs push the flag and get killed.

It really has turned into a camping ground. It’s no more push and attack. It’s now sit, and wait.
I preferred original Breakout to the Breakout refresh. I feel like Breakout has lost almost all of what made it unique to other Halo gamemodes.
Also, the change to capping the flag was terrible. Taking the flag back to your own spawn zone makes it too easy to push for the flag.
Well I like the new breakout, nothing more. But what I think they should have done is realesed the new breakout as a new mode. It would have made more people happy that the original was at least still there.

It really does. I didn’t like that change at all, I feel like it made it easier for players.
I loved the original Breakout and it had very unique feel to it. I don’t like the new version nearly as much as I did the original.

I disagree. While I haven’t had a ton of experience playing Breakout 2.0, I’ve found that it plays the opposite. The whole point of 343 making you take your flag back to your base, is to discourage just sitting and waiting. While I agree there is some camping with the shotgun when you’re taking your flag back to your base, you have to first push up out of your base to grab the flag. I think this problem would easily be solved if they changed the shotgun to an assault rifle, making it harder to catch people so off-guard coming around corners. I enjoyed the new Breakout for awhile, but it has gotten pretty boring for me.

I liked the shotgun better when it was deemed a power weapon on the map. Giving AR starts would be a good idea. I’ve seen it done before in Custom games on Youtube, I still would prefer using an SMG.
I like the old breakout much better. The sheilds and shoguns get rid of what made breakout special, the lack of sheilds. When I get killed I feel cheap to me because of how much insta kill range the shotgun has, I definitely want the old breakout to make an appearance.
Breakout was great before it was the balance between HALO and other HC modes from cod which hit a sweet spot for many now its just… well crap, an absolutely pointless mode might as well play slayer.
I like new breakout but liked old too. Love the shotty, mag combo. Undecided about the radar to be honest. I am a radar watcher though.
I really want the original Breakout to return.
All the fast paced action that was unique to one playlist really tests one’s skill.
I really want 343 to re-refresh Breakout to what it was, way back when.

Adding Shields in really took away that iconic feeling of the original Breakout. And, it’s really sad, hopefully we’ll see the original gametype make a come back.
I liked the original Breakout, mainly because of no shields or radar, allowing for a quick flank play. The SMG really helped shred from behind. Now people just rush the flag/power weapons and I feel like the strategy is gone.
