I’ve been playing Breakout since the beta days of Halo 5 and when I got my hands on for the first time I was sold on that game mode. I loved the competitiveness of it as well as the strategic thinking that was required for it. But ever since it got updated I’ve lost my love for breakout, it’s not as fun as I remembered it being. Now that there are shields and shotguns the game mode feels more like a run around and shoot type, instead of that heart pumping, adrenaline rushing, strategy mode that shipped with Halo 5. Many of fans may love the new breakout and that’s completely fine but I just miss the old breakout. SMG, magnums, and no shields, that is what made it so competitive. I want to know some of the communities opinions on breakout and whether or not it should be changed back to it’s original ways or not.
I never played it, but the whole ‘no shields’ thing makes me think of a SWAT with no respawn, which I wouldn’t be particularly fond of.

It’s not exactly like swat. If you get shot in the head you don’t die instantly it still takes a couple of hits. Head shots only speed up the process.
Maybe both in the same playlist…
I prefer the new Breakout over the old by a lot. What I really want is a ranked Extermination playlist or for Extermination to be merged with Breakout into one playlist.
Hey OP, there is a Break out feedback thread in the matchmaking forums you can use to add your thoughts
