Why are people even asking for Battle Royal in Halo Infinite? I’m honestly very curious because Battle Royal is definitely not a gametype that Halo deserves. We already have BTB anyway, which is a MUCH better gamemode when compared to Battle Royal.
BTB isn’t even comparable to a BR. Have you ever even played one? They’re actually quite fun. And it would bring even more people to Infinite. If you don’t want to play it, you’d never have to. More options are good.
I agree, I find large scale game modes like BTB in which there are endless respawns after you get killed way better, as opposed to just getting killed, and then kicking off a new game immediately.
But I’m honestly interested in a Halo take on BR. Its probably best if the BR mode was left to the community, but I wonder how 343 themselves would do a BR.
If you want to keep many popular-known (and Boomer) gamers, including guys like Dr DisRespect or Ninja, you will need a Battle Royale. Forge will likely make this possible, but may be hard to get it to feel right.
Halo has gotten too stale lately with Halo 5 and looks to be that way with Infinite so far. I think it’s going to need a Royale variant. Although, I’m not a fan of the game mode.
Why the pushback for a gametype or feature that can be added in at a later date, im definitely not in favor of the route cod has gone where it is the focal point, but I see no problem with a battle royal in Halo, simply because there is so much potential. I won’t demand for a battle royal to be implemented by any means, but if the game launches and the core multiplayer is fun, engaging, and can stand on its own, given time I would be alright for a Battle royal to appear even if it’s just an experiment, before that happens though I would want Co-op, and Forge to be available.
Halo is simply one of those games that hasn’t needed BR, sure it would be fun if that was to ever happen, and no doubt someone will create a variant in forge to a degree.
With Infinite being a 10 year project, it could happen at some point, just have to wait and see. For now BTB is awesome with 12v12 
The explanation why Halo should not have a battle royal: Slayer, BTB, Ranked, FFA and CTF are core modes from Halo wich almost every Halo player looking forward to. Halo is Halo and dont need to be like other games like PUBG or whatever.
Imho this game doesnt need to be an “egg laying woolmilk-pig” (sorry for the translation from german into english :D) i mean, it don’t has to be such an allrounder with every game mod, every player count on the map, to make every single player with any sorts of desire happy. The game is not even finished yet and will not even launch with all modes. If you want to play br, play PUGB (or something). People don’t have to be scared that Infinite has a small playerbase as long the game itself is good (and MP is F2P), has a good reputation and a good launch (wich is important).
With that said, it’s so much work to put in the game, now, on launch and beyond launch and it’s way more important (not only for me, but for almost every Halo Fan and the Franchise and devs itself) to launch the game in a good state and release the missing Content first, and make sure the game itself is good optimized for all plattforms.
It is clearly the most popular game type in recent years, so it shouldn’t be that surprising why people want it. I personally don’t care for it and would prefer focus and resources be spent elsewhere. I don’t think Halo needs a BR to be successful.
Streamers: “Halo infinite needs battle royal to survive”
Translation:
“Halo infinite needs battle royal for my stream to survive, I don’t really care about the game success because I’m gonna milk content for 2 weeks and drop the game”
I would be perfectly fine with a BR playlist because Halo has a great sandbox to do so but I also would not be mad if there wasn’t.

I feel like this is straight facts XD
The Halo sandbox is not made for BR. A Halo BR would be terribly unbalanced.
Halo, as a sandbox game, is kind of already suited for a BR. Infinite’s sandbox feels comparatively small when compared to H5, but all of the variants in 5’s req sandbox would work perfectly in a BR. All it would really take is a map big enough and support for more than 24 players per match.
Meh, I’m not entirely against a BR in Halo. I think it would probably be fine. I just don’t understand why so many people want Halo to just do the same thing as every other shooter out there. Just comes off as lazy and uncreative to me.
If we’re going to get a mode on the scale of a BR, I’d personally much prefer Halo take a unique approach to a high-player count game mode. Halo has such fun enemy AI, why not go for a large scale PvPvE mode that’s uniquely Halo as opposed to just another BR. I’d much rather they rework warzone from the ground up. The req system sucked and it certainly had its flaws in Guardians, but I still believe the potential is there in its foundation to be a big standout mode for Infinite. Increased map size, player count, and a focus on capturing Banished controlled bases in order to gain power weapons, vehicles, and team respawns could be awesome.
Splitgate and Valorant are thriving just fine without Battle Royale. Halo Infinite is getting great feedback in it’s BETA for gods sake. Pretty sure we don’t need no stinking Battle Royale crap. I hate this whole “it will attract more players” nonsense. Work to your strengths, which is what Infinite still needs to do. Don’t always follow the popular kids cause the grass certainly isn’t always green on the other side. I’ve PLAYED my fair share of Battle Royales they can’t even do simple stuff like implement good SOUND DIRECTIONAL DESIGN FOR FOOTSTEPS.
I don’t see how waiting to get into a game, that whole dropping sequence crap, to possibly die right away, LEAVE and then que up again…is fun. I don’t see it.

While you’re point is with good intention, the issue is that games with Battle Royales become completely consumed by it, other gamemodes fall by the wayside, DLCs get delayed. The game loses its character.
Fortnite lost its campaign, COD lost its campaign. As much as I like people having options, the BR option becomes the ONLY option.
And if thay did add a BR to Halo how’s it going to work with those red outline you can see from halfway across the map?

I’m pretty sure people are asking for it because… they want it? Kind of self explanatory.
If they added a BR mode, you could easily just not play it. Stop trying to control other people and just play how you want to play lmao

Fortnight and COD have NEVER been known for their campaign. Saying Halo would “lose its campaign” is honestly just braindead

You said it perfectly.
343 shouldn’t listen to streamers who are going to leave halo as soon as the next hot thing comes out.
