I don’t know if anyone at all also feels this way but please let me know if you do, I seriously love the original breakout. My friends I play halo with as well. It was such a unique experience different from anything else in past halo games and it was so much fun to play. It was so competitive and there was nothing like clutching a 1v4 when all odds are against you and having your teammates yelling in your ear with a million callouts. I still remember the first day I got on halo and the message of the day announced the “new and improved” breakout 2.0… I was extremely skeptical at first, as I should have been, and to no surprise 343 found a way to ruin my favorite part of the game at the time and break my heart. All the new maps and the changes to the game type itself and the heavy rotation of the 2.0 version over the 1.0 just ruined the game mode for me. At the time I believe halo 5 was still lacking some of the major things that were released in future updates so I completely dropped off of the game and moved on. I returned to halo 5 a couple months ago and obviously with all the updates out and the game actually being complete it’s amazing and i’ve gotten a million times better than I used to be and i’ve competed in multiple lan tourneys since then with my buddies and I have just fell back in love with the game. And there’s just a chunk of it all missing for me and obviously now they changed the whole name of the breakout playlist to “elimination” and added another new game type called “extermination” that takes up literally all of the rotation, i’ve played 11 matches now and I haven’t gotten a single game of breakout 1.0 or even breakout 2.0. I understand this new game mode has its own cult following but Im just craving breakout 1.0 I need it so bad i’ve started up multiple breakout 1.0 matches with original breakout maps in custom games and gotten full matches going a couple times and it’s just so so so good. I know i’m not the only person that feels this way about breakout I’ve talked to multiple people about it who feel the same way. I’m begging you 343 if any of you see this message if any of you even read these please consider it as like a temporary social playlist and revive it or something i’m sure it wouldn’t cause any sort of issue for you guys. Please 343.
TLDR: Miss original Breakout 1.0 not happy with rotation of the “elimination” replacement, begging for some people who agree to respond so 343 can see this message.
