Halo 6 Could Potentially Feature A Battle Royale Mode

3.2
Battle Royale definitely isn't a genre the popular online game PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds invented, but the record breaking title sure did pave the way for this under-appreciated style of gameplay. Since PUBG has been smashing records left and right, more and more games are leaning towards the craze including Fortnite's Battle Royale mode and Paladins: Battlegrounds. With Halo 6 currently in development and still in a position to make crucial changes, it wouldn't be that far fetched to see this battlegrounds craze his Master Chief and the fam.

As development progresses, so does the rumor mill. The latest report comes from Klobrille, who definitely has some credible leaks from the past to his name, says that the new Halo w ill have a "really high player count," which opens up the title to more options than ever before. With the Battle Royale genre instantly translating to big bank, this is a logical step for the developers and the future of the beloved Xbox exclusive franchise. The addition of this particular genre shot Fortnite fame through the room nearly overnight, and could potentially give the flair of freshness to the Halo series as well.

With Battle Royale, it's a 100 v 100 playing ground that that brings the Hunger Games to your own personal platform of choice. Having a "really high player count" could very well indicate the versus number in a match, or it could simply mean it will be moving into a more Battlefield direction with its 64 player count in-game. Keep in mind, this is just a rumor, a "leak," and has not been confirmed by Microsoft at this time. Like all unverified reports, it's important to take information like this with a grain of salt until official confirmation can be made.

Until we get the final yay or nay from Team Xbox, at least we can take comfort in knowing that the next title is going to be bringing Master Chief back in a big way, unlike Halo 5: Guardians.

This is becoming more and more apparent. Everyone is hopping on the battle royale train in hopes of a return.

The only thing I hope for with the new game is that it's nowhere near as terrible as Guardians was, was a colossal disappointment

343 will do anything to save the franchise they killed.

soon enough every game will feature a "battle royale mode" last halo i played was reach the others aren't fun, or even relatively interesting

They should've retired this series years ago. Now it's just annoying to hear about.

TuskPosted:

This is stupid. Just cause pubg came out it doesn't mean every game should make their own version. I imagine the hype will die down.

EternityPosted:

This idea is absolutely absurd. The context of this mode in Halo doesn't really make sense. Not only that, but the game engine Halo uses can't support that many players, let alone on Xbox One. The current generation of consoles just doesn't have the power to keep up with Microsoft's performance standards AND 100 players.

Was talking to my friend about this about a week ago. I feel that ODST's would fit in nicely for it. Instead of parachuting like a normal person, it would be you in a pod and stuff. As for Halo 6 in general, I would actually like it if Locke shows up. Loved that character and team. I get people love Master Chief and so do I, but I do feel that he and his team were nice additions to the story. Just wish Halo 5 went more of the Hunt the Truth story and had a bigger fight with Chief and Locke.

100v100 hmmmm sounds fun

In my opinion halo has been terrible since 343i took over the series. I'm pretty sure I'd they could mess up a once great series they'll probably mess up the battle royal experience as well making it unenjoyable. Lol
