if a BR is good for the game or not is something i still not going to see happing.
and i see more Firefight or Warzone from halo 5 coming back then getting a BR.
but first there need to fix the general problems in the game before a new game mode can come.
The population is declining because 343 is taking its time to fix these and the constant screwing around with the store and events is frustrating fans. I’m not a 343 apologist but they are doing corporate double speak while trying to appease us and it shows.
don’t get me wrong, i’ve warmed up to a BR in halo (if done uniquely)
but if the game’s dead, it’s dead. nothing will change that, even a mode that’l certainly push move players away. and play to that one BR crowd that cares not of halo
your argument is that adding a mode (Battle Royale) would do nothing for Infinite, then you go on about how adding other modes (the ones you like) would save it.
Do I need to explain how bad that is logically? I’ve told people this for ages but I’m gonna say it again, its ok to argue but be consistent or it just hurts your own argument.
H5’s community/forge created BR mode works crazy well with Halo’s sandbox. Like really really really well. If there was a developer supported version, it would be incredible, and could potentially be a top BR on the market.
Literally the only thing that was wrong with the H5 forge BR was the sniper being OP, but that’s an easy challenge to solve because there is a wide variety of approaches to solve it without impacting it in Arena modes.
Lol every one except the first. 0 wasn’t too many XD
If 343’s hasn’t fixed the issues with their game by now, what makes you think they have the budget or resources to develop a BR mode AND keep (not) fixing it?
They could make it an air drop weapon. bring back the DMR and make that a world spawn weapon, maybe even a little strong and be a light version of an SR.
Because those Halo…originated modes…modes that have been in older Halos…the stuff Halo is known for…for both social and competitive play. I don’t even play all those modes but other people did to fulfill their casual desires and make good content from it. Hence why people are leaving this game…the lack…of familiar…HALO content.
Battle Royale…is not a mode Halo is known for. It has no place , especially when the game can’t even handle franchise standard content properly and improve on it.
You think this game is on a decline because it doesn’t have freaking Battle Royale? If so, you’re playing yourself. If I wanted Battle Royale? I’d play a non HALO game. Which I don’t.
if a game needs a specific gametyp which is the momentary big thing at the time, to survive, then maybe the game isn’t that good in the first place
If all Infinite ever does is provide familiar Halo content it will never amount to anything.
343i (and Halo in general) need to offer new experiences, new map, new modes, etc. If they want to be remotely competitive. If all you want is Halo 3 then you’d just be playing Halo 3 amirite?
Multiteam isn’t going to hype up more than like 1% of the population lol, but something crazy or ambitious would do wonders.
Yeah, you lost any credibility the second you used “boomers” as a synonym for “people who don’t share my interests”.
I was against Halo Battle Royale at first. Because I was thinking… ok, the equipment and looting would consist of looking for a BR+Sniper+Overshield (or maybe Grapple). That’s it.
However, with all the weapon variations I’ve seen in the campaign, I could see the looting aspect actually being kinda fun. There would be weapon upgrades and equipment upgrades throughout the world to find. And now, we have obviously seen the new Revive mechanic… so yeah, I can see Halo BR being fun now.
Exactly. It sounds like someone can’t grasp the concept of opportunity cost.
The last big one to come out, Warzone, was two years ago. Companies have just been playing catchup since. Between COD, Fortnite and Apex, there literally isn’t room, especially when people are relatively happy with those, and BR is in the twilight years of being The Big Thing.
An open hub world was new and ambiguous. So there you go. They did all that ambiguous stuff with Halo 4 and 5. Look exactly what happened? Battle Royale is nothing new and has no place In Halo. On top of the fact that this game had such great reception just by the flights alone giving everyone the impression that they could finally return to form with new additions with something as small as the grappling hook and Repulsor.
Halo infinite as bare bones as it is, has more to offer than Fortnite, Apex and Warzone. You play one mode, you run around a big boring map over and over. Remotely competitive…riiiiiiight.
Players and fans don’t really want “save the population”,they just want play a better game.
They can add BR but it must be a “halo battle royale” not just follow the suit blindly.
And before do that,fix and completion the whole game(forge maps modes campaign}
What are you even talking about here?
It would be new to Halo absolutely, but to your point Halo is far behind yes. While other games have been innovating or breaking the formula, Halo hasn’t really done anything new for well over a decade at this point. Now if your point was that it would make more sense, but to use Multiteam as something that’s going to do anything for Infinite is laughable.
I don’t know if you are overrating Infinite here or the opposite so I’ll just leave that for now.
Fortnite is the third largest Esport in the world, Apex is 15th, and Warzone is 17th (based on prize pools alone)
To put that into perspective, Halo 5 was 22nd.
for reference: https://www.esportsearnings.com/games
Now to be fair to Infinite its extremely early on in its lifecyle, most of those games have been around for years so they would naturally have larger prize pools and general competition. So Infinite could (in theory) catch up, but it is insane to say the 3rd largest Esport in the world isn’t a competitive game.
Yes one of the most hated if not the most hated Halo game coming in at 22nd. Meanwhile Halo 2 and 3 were the progenitors of eSports putting MLG on the map.
Battle Royale is not a new concept anymore. It’s a simple cash grab that any company is trying to replicate for easy money with no soul.
You were talking about new modes and content. Well Halo never had an open hub world before. So there you go. There’s your new ambiguous move. And for Halo 4 and 5, the “new stuff” being loadouts, ordinances, the new movement mechanics. They did all that and how well were they received? Not so well and population for those died relatively fast.
“Hasn’t done anything new in the last decade” still has more content than Fortnite and all the other battle royale games. It even has a mode where the community makes up their own stuff lmao. you can’t beat that. What have these battle Royales done thats new? Nothing.
Just because it’s an esport doesn’t really mean it’s competitive… Entertaining, sure, but competitive? I don’t really think so. Maybe it’s nit picking though.
A game of basketball is competitive.
A game where you gather parts to assemble the basket, inflate the ball, and put on game gear with everything scattered all throughout the play center… is entertaining. It’s not really competitive though, even if there’s money to win.
To be fair, that’s really probably just my subjective opinion.
