I kinda don’t like the fact is that a decent portion size is hype for Halo Infinite getting A battle royale mode with Certain Infinity working on it and I don’t really know if this is true or not. But heres my whole opinion take and you guys/gals can agree or disagree if you want as that is your right to do so.
But I really don’t like the idea of trying to copy a trend of Battle royale of trying to compete with Apex legends, fortnite, COD warzones and whatever else that has battle royales on really big maps for Halo infinite. As I am more of old school halo even though I grew up on my childhood playing Halo back when bungie was running it as I’m like 25 years old. And I’m gonna state this kinda right now as most of the halo player base on halo infinite itself most halo players including myself try the last spartan standing battle royale mode and really did not like the mode at all and I mostly avoided playing it as it was pretty bad and did not belong in halo but I only play it for the event passes. As the reason why last spartan standing mode was rotate out of infinite cause it was really not being play on by most of the population playing halo infinite, which mean mean only a small portion like it and enjoy the mode. But it should gave a clear sign that a Big map battle royal mode is not really needed or welcome to halo at all as a official mode. As I understand if it was done in custom games then it fine.
But every single dang game did not go after a battle royale trend as fallout 76 did that but that Battle royale mode got remove even thjough I like it most of the fans did not and it would’ve shift the games Identity in a terrible to most of the games fans. As bungie game destiny 2, that FREE TO PLAY now and they don’t have a Battle royale mode and it a First person shooter game mixed with a little 3rd person element. And bungie didn’t want to shift there games identity at all with a battle royale mode as they are doing what right for the fans and there game series itself. So why would 343i jump the gun to do a big battle royale mode in infinite if Last spartan standing was the very least play by most of the halo player population disliking it? As 343i should be more focused on Fixing infinite first of all of it issues first after how long in development, 5-6 years? As well of dropping content and actually being open with the community not sit silent for like every 2 weeks.
As I played battle royales before and I actually stop playing COD warzone like a year ago as well Apex legends a few years ago. I’m still playing fortnite battle royale as it pretty enjoyable espically in the zero build mode and there twitters let there fans know what going on espically the support one 24/7 on all issues. But I am also playing destiny 2 lately now and I’m actually working on there season passes plus there season story. Something that 343i can’t apparently do in halo infinite and our Destiny MP guardians are actually involved with the season plus with learning the other characters story with in the season story of actually being there. And it pretty sad that 343i can’t do that in infinite.
Any who sorry for this long rant of my opinion, but if I want to do battle royale in halo infinite? Sorry to say but battle royale been a thing since halo ce days being FFA slayer modes and Multi team slayer modes.
