For the love of god, idc if you want a battle Royale or not. But IF they are making one, what unique gameplay mechanics or features would you want to see for it to stand out from other battle royales?
I’ll go first:
Make so that the health and first layer of shields automatically recharge just like 4v4. This’ll keep the halo gameplay loop and isn’t done by any other BR. Then you could hold some overshields in your backpack.
Also, instead of damage being directly done to you when you’re outside of the ring, what if a bunch of flood starts to attack you. Each ring would spawn more and tougher flood. You could shoot and kill them trying to fight them off. Yeah, you could try and camp outside the ring… until you run out of ammo… They would have to shoot you with organic weapons like the true form in halo 3, so that they don’t drop ammo. Also, you could spawn enough infection forms that they’ll basically deal direct damage to you. This might cause some performance issues, but hey we’re in the next gen of consoles!
Please give some of your ideas.

I would add the health bar from Halo CE and Reach, but keep regenerating shields. Health consumables seem quite important for battle royal games.

Calling in drop pods would be sick. It could be like 3 odsts that follow you like they say in the campaign they’ll have hireable AI. Maybe there could be tiers, like marines, then odsts, then a single spartan as the highest level drop.
- Start in drop pods where you drop in anywhere on the map and have limited movement adjustment, rather than a “battle bus”.
- I like your flood idea - it would be cool if you could continue playing as Flood and intentionally attacking Spartans outside of the zone until your team is dead, although I don’t know if anyone would really bother unless there was some way to get back in.
- Everyone has weapon starts, and weapons have consistent spawns across the map. Limited ammo will be the main issue as far as equipping as you can’t carry more than a normal Halo loadout.
I like this idea until you say “backpack”. I think that whatever Chief’s way of handling equipment is should be how we handle it. We can carry up to 4 equipment items (I believe) and only one is equipped at a time. The whole “backpack” interface is annoying to deal with.

I like this idea! Could be an “equipment”.

Yeah like different colored smoke signals, so they’ll drop near the location you throw it!
