Battle royale modes and games continue to live on in evergreen popularity, especially now.\u00a0Fortnite<\/em>‘s latest explosion in popularity with Chapter 2, Season 5 has shown no signs of slowing down for Epic Games.\u00a0Call of Duty: Warzone<\/em> continues its streak as one of the most popular options, especially now that it’s fully integrated with the latest\u00a0Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War<\/em>.\u00a0Apex Legends<\/em> is also seeing a resurgence in momentum with Season 7, and Season 8 coming very soon.\u00a0As for\u00a0Halo<\/em><\/strong> fans who enjoy battle royale modes, at least Master Chief made it into\u00a0Fortnite<\/em>. For those looking for a true-to-form\u00a0Halo<\/em> battle royale, well, it doesn’t exist quite yet.<\/p>\n

Arguably, the classic\u00a0Halo<\/em> multiplayer foundation does lend itself particularly well to a battle royale mode. Many of the mainstay mechanics, items, and equipment in the most popular battle royales (Fortnite<\/em>, Apex Legends<\/em>,\u00a0Warzone<\/em>) were elements of traditional\u00a0Halo<\/em> multiplayer previously. However, that’s not to say it’d be an easy entrance into the subgenre for\u00a0Microsoft’s flagship shooter.\u00a0Numerous battle royales have also saturated the market as well, with many failing to strike a following among a sea of other battle royales. 343 Industries is not immune to a similar fate, and\u00a0Halo Infinite<\/em><\/a>\u00a0would need to seriously switch things up to make a successful battle royale.<\/p>\n

For one thing, the usual\u00a0Halo<\/em> multiplayer foundation<\/a> lends itself particularly well to a battle royale mode. Conceptually speaking, many of the mechanics in battle royale games\/modes like picking up weapons, finding powerups or special abilities around the environments, and tangentially some of the objective-based modes resemble a battle royale archetype. Finding power weapons in\u00a0Halo<\/em> multiplayer is always the name of the game, which coincidentally is what most battle royale games do as well. Power-ups like Overshield and Active Camo, equipment from\u00a0Halo 3<\/em>-ownard, and the armor abilities from\u00a0Halo Reach<\/em>, all would have their place in a\u00a0Halo\u00a0<\/em>battle royale.<\/p>\n

Not to mention some of the larger maps in\u00a0Halo<\/em> history could potentially be framed for battle royale, if expanded. Some of the larger maps like Forge World, Valhalla, or Boneyard would be interesting to see kind of mashed together into one big battle royale map. There’s a lot of examples throughout\u00a0Halo<\/em>‘s backlog<\/a> of incredible map design that could potentially form together into a great battle royale map. Plus,\u00a0Halo<\/em>‘s experimented with large scale multiplayer modes with Big Team Battle and Invasion previously, so a battle royale mode wouldn’t exactly be out of pocket for the series. Implemented appropriately, a battle royale concept for\u00a0Halo<\/em> could be great.<\/p>\n

However, like most other battle royale game modes,\u00a0Halo<\/em>‘s battle royale attempt could easily become overshadowed in an oversaturated market. Especially if\u00a0Halo<\/em>‘s battle royale mode doesn’t particularly change up the formula in any way, it’s not going to have much going for it other than\u00a0Halo<\/em> gameplay mechanics. As previously mentioned, many of the battle royale conventions like power ups and power weapons already exist in classic\u00a0Halo\u00a0<\/em>multiplayer. Implementing those same mechanics, in a subgenre of shooters that already features many of those capabilities, wouldn’t distinguish\u00a0Halo<\/em>‘s battle royale offering apart from any other<\/a> currently available to play.<\/p>\n

The effectiveness of\u00a0Halo<\/em>‘s gameplay loop is emphasized in the traditional, small-scale multiplayer modes like Slayer and Capture the Flag.\u00a0Halo<\/em> doesn’t have building mechanics, or any comparatively unique movement mechanics compared to examples like\u00a0Apex Legends<\/em>. Even with the exception of\u00a0Halo Infinite<\/em>‘s\u00a0grappling hook<\/a>, there’s no way the mode wouldn’t draw comparisons to Pathfinder in\u00a0Apex Legends<\/em> anyway. Even though\u00a0Halo Infinite<\/em>‘s multiplayer will be totally free-to-play at launch, a battle royale mode doesn’t necessarily fit alongside the traditional offering from\u00a0Halo<\/em> multiplayer, regardless of whether it could or not.<\/p>\n

This is without even mentioning the numerous times\u00a0Halo Infinite<\/em> battle royale rumors have been shot down this year by 343 Industries. Even as recent as last month,\u00a0343 Industries’ community director Brian Jarrard reiterates these rumors are “unfounded,”<\/a> further reinforcing that\u00a0Halo Infinite<\/em> has no current battle royale in development. 343 Industries’ studio head Bonnie Ross has also echoed this sentiment previously, stating that battle royale’s popularity (for now) doesn’t factor in to\u00a0Halo<\/em>‘s repertoire.<\/p>\n

That’s not to say it’s impossible, and assuming\u00a0343 Industries is capable of shaking some things up,\u00a0Halo<\/em> Infinite\u00a0<\/em>could get a battle royale in the future. But for now, it just might not be feasible for Microsoft’s iconic shooter.<\/p>\n

Halo Infinite<\/em><\/strong> is planned to release in fall 2021.<\/p>\n
