Description:
Halo Infinites rumored battle royale could tie into the games campaign, and thats a very exciting prospect.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

One of the most interesting and engaging ways to get me to play your battle royale multiplayer mode is to tie it to the games overarching narrative, and thats just what Halo Infinite might be doing, if recent rumors are to be believed.

If youre out of the loop, rumors of a Halo Infinite battle royale have been circulating for a good while now, but conflicting reports suggest that it may not even be in development. However, notable leaker Tom Henderson suggested
in a tweet that the rumored multiplayer mode for Halo Infinite could be closely tied to the games campaign.

Theres one big caveat, though. Henderson admitted that he didnt know if the Halo Infinite battle royale had since been scrapped, claiming that its been
in development for years. Xbox Series X review Where to buy Xbox Series X : all the retailers to check for the console Xbox Series X vs Xbox Series S : which Xbox is right for you?

Before this, leaked Halo Infinite voice files lent credence to the idea of a battle royale mode existing within the game. The voice clip in particular features multiplayer announcer Jeff Stitzer yelling "Battle Royale" in his usual charismatic fashion.

Thats not concrete proof, of course, as developer 343 Industries could have had the line recorded for a number of reasons. It may be just a placeholder
in case they ever do decide to introduce a battle royale mode to Halo
Infinite down the line. It could also be a line players will be able to
insert into their custom Forge maps and modes.

Lets not beat around the bush, many of you are likely tired of seeing battle royale modes shoehorned into any game with a gun in it. Im among these
people, too, having had my fill of games like PUBG , Call of Duty: Warzone
and Fortnite . But Halo is a bit different. (Image credit: Xbox Game Studios) Should Halo Infinite have a battle royale mode?

Halo isnt your typical run-and-gun shooter fest. The series multiplayer offerings are typically of a slower pace, with a huge focus placed on
learning how each weapon works and where the powerful ones spawn, getting to know the layout of every map as well as relying on your personal accuracy.

This careful, calculated approach extends to Halos numerous campaigns. Theres a lot to wrap your head around when it comes to Halos story and universe, and thats before considering the litany of books, comics and animations that spin off from the central narrative. Most of it is great stuff, which is why
having a battle royale mode tie into Halo Infinites story is such a
compelling prospect.

Why? Because many of Halos spin-off titles are where the story hits the hardest. Both Halo 3: ODST and Halo Reach provide some of the series most emotional gut punches. And while I dont exactly expect to be moved to tears
by a battle royale mode, of all things, it could provide some extra insight into the war surrounding Master Chief. After all, the extended Halo narrative makes it quite clear that our favorite Spartan is incapable of saving everyone.

Id usually roll my eyes at the announcement of a battle royale mode in any game, but I would be willing to give Halo the benefit of the doubt. The
series more calculated gameplay and approach to storytelling could greatly impact its take on a prospective battle royale mode, allowing it to be both fun and something for Halo lore enthusiasts to sink their teeth into. Best Halo games to play before Halo Infinite
