In Team Area, you can find you basic assortment of team-oriented gametypes, both lethal and objective. All these feature standard area match rules. 4v4, AR/Pistol Starts, 18m tracker. Except one…Breakout.
Now don’t get me wrong, I enjoy Breakout. The reason I don’t want it in Arena is that it’s an entirely different game. Not only is it turn-based elimination, the time to kill, weapon starts, motion tracker and objectives are also different. It throws me off my game if I have to switch between such drastically different game modes every couple games. Plus, it’s got it’s own playlist. If I wanna play Breakout, I’ll do it there. It’s unnecessary and unwanted in the Team Arena Playlist.
Anyone else agree?
I’m fine with breakout in there, it’s a nice contrast to the other games. I’d rather see slayer removed for arena, personally. I go into a playlist that isn’t slayer because I’d rather play more objective based games, then get stuck with it anyway.
I second this, it has its own playlist, shouldn’t be in a grab bag playlist like team arena.
I third this.
I came here to see if anyone was else was thinking this. Breakout has its own playlist there is no reason for it to be in team arena. It gets annoying sometimes when it feels like every other match is breakout.
Team arena is a mix of all gametypes. I can’t see them taking it out, until KOTH, oddball and bombs are implemented.
It needs to be taken out. The only reason it’s in is because 343 is trying to push Breakout for HCS, and as you know, Team Arena is meant to represent HCS-approved gametypes. Once the pros boycott Breakout from tournament play (I’m certain they will), it will definitely be removed.
its there because its the hcs playlists if the pros dont like it and ask for it to be taken off it will
I don’t like the whole notion of it only being in because of the HCS. Not a great argument. I think it should go. Slayer should account for about 20% of matches here - at least it is the right style of match. Although, I think breakout is still one of the best modes in the game.

I feel like Breakout is too different from the other gamemodes in Arena. Arena is a playlist of objective and cooperative gametypes. Breakout is another beast entirely.

exactly, it’s good, just in the wrong place.

I don’t give a damn what the “pros” want. Those people make up the absolute minority of the community. Not saying we should pander to casuals, though.
I agree but for a different reason. Breakout has its own dedicated playlist and it shouldn’t be in another playlist. Also it gets in the way of getting those stronghold and CTF achievements.
Not bashing breakout, I really like it. But it already has a playlist.
havent played it yet in team arena, and ive played quite a few games already, weird.
I agree.
I like breakout in the current rotation. That’s the whole point of a rotating system anyway, isn’t it? A grab bag of random modes is always exciting.
I’d rather see it removed and get KOTH or oddball in there instead. Breakout plays pretty differently than the other arena gametypes.
Didn’t know Team Arena had gametypes other than that CoD Domination ripoff. Played like five games of it in a row, then never played Team Arena again…
I back up what others have said on this thread. The game mode is great but, like the majority of people said in here, it shouldn’t be in this playlist. Easy tweak if 343 decides this is a good idea.
