Almost all people here express how they despise new Breakout and thinking original one is better. The thing is I did not see any reason that tells me their hate or disappointment towards new Breakout. In my opinion this Breakout is much better and improved version. Here is why:
-
Full shieldThis is something that people wanted Breakout to be including myself. When previously, extremely short time to kill led to who triggers first win most of the time. This new version gives more opportunities to fight and let you active on the field longer. Isn’t this what you people wanted?
-
Shotgun SpawnI understand why you despise Shotgun spawn or prefer SMG over Shotgun. There are people arguing about how full shield slows down the pace. Shotgun is there to maintain that supposed fast pace of Breakout. Close quarter combat in Breakout was intense and is intense with Shotgun. It becomes very fast when you are engaged in close combat. Shotgun increased the intensity of Breakout. However, you could still prefer SMG. To me, Shotgun is preferable choice over SMG, it’s more thoughtful.
-
RadarNot much opinion on this. I wouldn’t mind if they take it out or keep it.

New Way to Score by Capturing Flag (bringing flag to your base)This change is something I always wanted in Breakout and here it is. Flag was added to prevent players staying in their base/camping one area in entire match and barely engaging in combat, however, the old version didn’t help that much. You still had to bring flag to enemy base, where enemies could stay and wait until she sees player with flag. The new system heavily emphasizes on movement and creates a lot of actions towards the flag, which makes this Breakout intense even more. I see people saying how this Breakout is just a variation of Capture The Flag. Well, there needs to be an objective to fight rather than killing enemies only. If this game mode removes flag, then it will become that “campy game” that you people hate so much and you will complain again.
To shorten, the new system creates more actions around flag and lead campers to lose.
- MapsOther than Altitude 2.0, the maps are amazing. New changes to the maps enhanced the experience. Maps play very well. I don’t know how to say these maps are superior to older maps, but I will say the changes utilize the map structures.
If you still think New Breakout is awful, please tell why you despise New Breakout.
I have to agree that the changes they’ve made (except the shotgun) are good.
The shields issue was what made me stop playing in the first place.
We all agreed the OBJ needed to be adjusted, so that’s positive.
The reason I don’t like shotgun is because it ends up becoming a camp fest with people crouching in corners instead of moving (made worse by the addition of radar).
Overall I think it’s mostly positive, I would just like to see the shotguns swapped back for the SMG’s.

If you didn’t know, almost every room on each map has sort of small secret, I would say alternative way, to get inside of something. I have died a few times by campers, but this is not really that problem in my opinion.

The changes were bad, especially with Halo 5. 343 did changed it by driving out most of fans of Halo.
The people who complain about this Breakout is people who likes the changes made to Halo 5.
Shotgun, single-handedly, would make these settings bad… haven’t played it yet but there is no need for EIGHT people to be running around with Shotguns.
Everything else sounds good… not sure how radar would play, could probably take or leave that…

343 changed it by driving out most fans of Halo? Are you saying they changed Breakout by driving out most fans of Halo?
People complaining about breakout is people who likes the changes made to halo 5?
I cant decipher what you are saying here. At all. Perhaps I should clarify my post. I wasn’t arguing or disagreeing with you, just stating that the halo fandom isn’t flexible in regards to change which is why I am not surprised these complaints threads are popping up.

What gives you this assumption? I didn’t like all the changes to h4 and the continuance with h5 and I dispise the current meta of breakout. My main issue is the shields, shotgun is second and that’s really my main issue that bugs me. The shields were already tested when they did arena breakout months ago and People didn’t like it so they scrapped it and now they’re back for whatever reason.
I’ve only played one game of it so far, but I couldn’t stand it. There is no means of suppression at range, without having the SMG. The pistol can damage at range, but it can’t suppress.
The radar gives information that you didn’t earn through comunication and attentive movement. I don’t mind the radar in other modes, but Breakout was supposed to be THE mode for teamwork. Having a radar just means you have to crouch around all the time, which slows down the gameplay, which is no good for Breakout.
You no longer have to make a push across the map to score with the flag. In effect, you only need to traverse half the map to score, and it’s the half that your team controls. Overall, more rounds are gonna end in elimination, so this doesn’t bother me as much. However, it just doesn’t seem right that in order to score, you go halfway and then come back.
Shields…well considering the only option for fighting at any sort of range is pistol, I guess it’ll have to do. Since they replaced the SMG, a versatile weapon, with a single-use gun that abuses the newly-added radar, the shields are a must. I’d rather they go, if they revert to SMG starts, however.
