Battle Royale is a 16-player free-for-all shootout played on classic Halo remakes and on peculiar forge created maps. It takes mental stamina to endure the unbearable chaos of dealing with 15 other contestants! On our next video, we'll be creating a video discussing the game-type rules.
I gotta admit, it was cool getting to see some familiar Forge maps in this video. I'm a bit unsure what this is though. Is this some kind of tournament or is it a 16 Player FFA Variant mode to be played anywhere? Also.... DID THE GUY AT THE END DIE??!!
There are certain maps we like to play on such as Permafrost, Pinnacle, Genji Beta, Gemeni and so forth. I don't just choose any map. During the winter break, we tested a bunch of maps because this is such a new concept , there aren't any dedicated maps that support what we want. This is why we started the channel to get a community behind it and we hope to have something more structured as we continue. We like sheer chaos from beginning to end. As soon as we spawn, we want to start shooting. We don't like walking around. It stems from who we are as gamers and our needs. We want to take that 30 second intense moment you get every now and then, and stretch that out for the entire game. We like intensity consistent throughout the entire match. As for it being a tournament, we haven't worked out the kinks just yet. Our next up coming videos will determine that. Over the break, we did work out the rules. Unlimited kills with a 10 min limit and a 2 minutes overtime if needed. BR start and magnum second, no splinter grenades. Any suggestions? I would love to have you join in on a few games. Our games get full rather quickly. Yes the guy at the end did die.
Oh alrighty then. When you say "We" who are you referring to? Haha and have you all considered fleshing out some dedicated maps for the mode. I typically prefer a little breathing room when I play, but it could be neat to check out. When do ya'll usually play? EDIT: I'd have to actually play before I tossed any suggestions out.
I say we because if you notice, there are inside jokes in the script I wrote for the voice actor. My close friends and I are behind this concept and we're working together. Although I did all the editing, a lot of brainstorming and inspiration comes from them. We are close friends who grew up with halo since halo ce. With the customs browser, it allows us to finally do what we want at a larger scale. We're tired of going to the front page of the customs browser and seeing boring custom games such as infection and so forth. With all due respect, we understand where all of that stems from and we see it's placement in the community and their die hard fans. We just look at halo meant to be played a certain way. That is, take complete advantage of the sandbox experience and use forge to bring back maps we love and introduce off-themed maps. It's our unique taste on how we want to play halo. My friends and I are in our late twenties and some of us have families, when we get on halo, we want to shoot people, not push each other off a platform with a mongoose for 3 hours. That's where battle royale comes from, it's high octane fun at all times and people shooting people everywhere. When we're done playing, we're satisfied. Our stomachs are full. I hope that made sense, haha. But yes on your second point. We also plan to have a forge competition with actual money as a prize that is based around this gametype. This is something in the near future for sure. May peace and blessings be upon you.
I've been watching Battle Royale live on the twitch stream. I remember this back in halo 2 when we used to play a similar game type with ABUSEDGOAT on Lockout. Except, it was unlimited kills and unlimited time limit. We would play all night!
ABUSEDGOAT was a legend back in the Halo 2 community! He would always host these epic 16-player FFA's on Lockout and other maps. I can't believe you remember that. Those were my fondest memories in high school and college. This gametype is from our inspiration towards that!
