agreed. I tried the new breakout and every round the other team nabbed the flag immediately. I preferred the elimination focus instead of the panic flag focus.
Meh, perhaps breakout was just not a good fit for Halo.
edit: For Halo 6, I wonder if they have been able to improve their engine. When I see games like BF1/Gears 4/Infinite Warfare, I'm pretty underwhelmed by Halo 5's look.
The old breakout was fine. The problem, again, are those stupid Tron maps. Everything wrong with MP in this game imo can point to the shitty maps. If BTB population dropped in 5 when its population is consistently one of the highest before (including 4) its because of those shitty maps. If people dont play Breakout, its primarily because of those shitty maps.
They changed breakout and people still dont play it. Only thing they havent changed are those Tron forge maps.
Its real fucking simple, if you rely on Forge for your playlist to have maps and survive, your playlist will fail.
Heres a question, why arent there any forge maps for warzone? They dont wanna put megablock maps on their premiere game type do they? Well then why in the fuck would that be ok for any other playlist? Could you imagine playing warzone on only forge maps? Or slayer on only forge maps? Any playlist you fill with only user created maps will fail, that much i can promise you.
Breakout to me was one of the most fun halo gametypes, but because i hate forge maps, i never play in that playlist anymore. Just like i never touch BTB anymore. If they had breakout on slayer maps, more people would play it. But no, its all forge all the time.
