Halo Doesn't Need A Battle Royale

Dylan has some thoughts about the community's wishes

I’ve been slowly getting into Halo recently with the Master Chief Collection, finally being able to play multiplayer ever since I played Halo: Combat Evolved on the original Xbox. It’s fun and I’m slowly getting better at it, although teammates and opponents quitting before matches are over is quite the disheartening experience.

Complete your matches you damn cowards. Lose with honour or fight for a hard-fought victory.

Actually, fun fact about Halo: CE’s title. It was originally called just Halo, with “combat evolved” just being the tagline. It was introducing mechanics like regenerating health and limited weapons, so PR thought it was appropriate. However, if you look at the box art, it looks more like the subtitle than the tagline, so people began calling it that. Eventually, to differentiate it from the Halo franchise, it was officially called Halo: CE.

Anyways, I’ve begun to get into the community and I’ve noticed something that some people in the Halo community want.

A Battle Royale mode in Halo Infinite.

I'm sure they have various good reasons, having also played Halo back in the day and why it's a good idea but let me sum up my stance on the matter.

It doesn’t need it.

We already have Chief in Fortnite, do not do this for the love of god and the Arbiter.

I...I don’t know why I swore to the Arbiter but Keith David is awesome so I’m sticking with it.
