I've been told I messed up and the "Dr Lupo" I was referring to is actually Zlaner. Just thought I'd point that out. I didn't see that guys name in the lobby they were in lol

"In order to stay relevant for 3 weeks, this game needs a br" No dude, I think YOU need a br to stay relevant.

To be honest, I'm tired of BR games.

Watchng this in 2024 is so conflicting 😭 . Everybodys statements aged so poorly and well all at the same time

I dont get why everyones saying it needs a br? I mean, there already is one, its one of the best guns in the game. It's a classic, I mean that 3 shot burst, that heavy damage, those easy headshot kills, the combination of precision, stopping power, speed, versatility, I mean it's just gorgeous.

"This game needs a BR to survive" translation: "This game needs a BR for me to make money streaming it".

“God I hate COD so much I wish I had something new to play” “Why is this new game not exactly like COD”

DrDisrespect said something about the effect of streaming on the gaming space, I think it absolutely fucking ruined so much in gaming.

The hindsight here is hilarious. I could not fathom how awful a 343 managed Battle Royale would be given Infinite's current status as a tombstone carried by ants

My favorite quote is one by one of the developers. “The only BR we are interested in is the Battle Rifle”.

Asking a BR-centric streamer their opinion on a game that doesn’t have a BR mode is like asking a lion its opinion on a gazelle sanctuary. PROBABLY not the most objective take you’re gonna get.

I feel like co-op campaign would be waaaaay better than a battle royale.

This is one of the most well put together and rationally explained videos on this subject. This guy really knows how to take an unbiased position and lay down the facts while not attacking those he doesn’t 100% agree with. Mad respect, had to subscribe

“The last fucking thing i want halo infinite to do is go out of its way to cater to an audience that are not its core fans” I couldn’t have said it better myself act man.

“Without a BR mode, Halo Infinite will die in three weeks” *looks at success of 20 year long running franchise* Are you sure about that?

"This game is not going away in 3 weeks" oh what a sad turn of events

I appreciate streaming but I feel streaming has destroyed game integrity and most gamers get left out cause developers wanna cater to the few. GREAT VIDEO

“This game needs a battleroyale in order to survive” Alternatively: “I need this game to have a BR so my channel will survive”

“It’s not Halo Infinite that won’t survive without a battle royale... it’s you”. Perfectly encapsulates your entire point 🥂

Cool video. Never mind the fact that they were 50% right. The game is now pretty much dead, although it's not because of the lack of a BR. It's because of a lack of content. Could have been a great successor to the arena shooter we all love, but it turned into nothing.

Really sucks that 343 dropped the ball and gave streamers another reason to push the br thing.

"The game will die without a BR" Are coded words for "I won't be able to make money off this game without a BR"

"Without BR this game dies in 3 weeks" 343 : Understood... *Battle Rifle only mode*

Man this didn’t age well, I don’t mean his points but halo really didn’t last long. Purely because of the lack of content

ironic looking back at this considering the state of halo infinite

To quote 343: the only BR we care about is the battle rifle

*Patrollong the Mojave almost makes you wish Halo Infinite to just have a good campaign over everything else*

This didn't Age well... as Actman said right now Battlefield 2042 has more players than halo infinite. that says alot when a broken game has more players than halo infinite.

This didn’t age well

What was said. "in order for this game to succeed, it needs a BR!" Translation. "In order for me to milk this game to my viewers and make Money, it needs a BR!" No, Doc. No it doesn't.

Fun fact for dr disrespect, halo isn’t a game made by 3 people with no ways of advertising

I mean the doc wasn’t really wrong The game is kinda dying

I LOVE the constant balance you show ripping into the streamers while giving respect at the same time. God bless you act Man. You brilliant, beautiful man.

If they want Battle Royale so badly, build one in forge mode.

"Halo needs a br to survive" Translation: *My pre-mature audience only watches br streams so I need halo to have a br to make sure I eat tonight*

This is looking a little rough a year later. I know there's other reasons for it's death, but still.

>calls for outside the box thinking >proceeds to suggest the most generic and overused game mode to a veteran franchise

People always say: "Halo infinite needs a Battle Royale!" They do realize that they can make their own battle royale in custom games. Right?

I've never understood the obsession with battle royale. If I wanted to feel like my space was constantly being encroached on I could just move to my mother in law's house.

Just checked... Currently 800 viewers on Twitch. That is really, really bad for a Franchise so well known. The player base is equally in the toilet.

I know this comment is super late, but... Having played Halo since it's release in 2001, I can genuinely say that I would love a Halo BR. Do I think it needs it, no... But I think it would be fun, assuming it's made the right way. While I still enjoy playing Fortnite, and I had a good time with both Apex and Warzone, I think those games are too far away from what a Halo BR *needs* to be. Honestly I believe that a Halo BR just needs to be more Halo but just on a larger scale. No having to pick up shields, no additional armor, no different attachments for weapons or awkward interfaces. Just drop us onto Zeta Halo with Banished and UNSC weapons scattered around the map, like it would be in multiplayer, and let us find them, pick them up, and fucking shoot each other. They can even take a page out of Blackout's book and utilize past and current maps in the landscape. Can you imagine playing Halo with 99 other people? 25 squads of 4 just duking it out on the biggest, most open, most beautiful Halo map we've ever seen? The fact of the matter is that all the stuff for a BR in Halo is already there. Infinite introduced a bunch of different equipment, and you can even bring back some of the older ones from past games, especially for maneuverability (looking at you Jetpack and Grav Lift). Imagine coming up on someone from behind just for them to bubble shield you... Imagine grapple hooking onto a tree or building and lobbing a Plasma onto an enemy player from 50 yards away! And then, oh this is great! And then, sharing it with people through some sort of file... share... wait. Facebook. Anyway, the map could be designed for the different movement options in mind, and you could have intense battles that last on multiple layers of engagement. Infinite also introduced variations on different weapons. Hell, you could even acquire them the same way you did in the campaign: hunting down a high value target. Implement a sort of PVPVE. Side note: I can't believe those weapons aren't currently available for use in the actual multiplayer. The overall point here is that a Halo BR doesn't have to be fancy, or even *new*... It just needs to be Halo. And the reason I hope it never exists is because the developers will never understand that..

The Halo community when they heard Dr. Disrespects opinion “There can be no greater heresy!”

"Halo Infinite won't last 3 weeks without a BR!" Meanwhile: Players still playing MCC

damn this shit aged like milk, sincerely someone who doesnt even play shooters

“Metal Gear Survive absolutely needs a Battle Royale” is the funniest headline I’ve ever read.

Halo doesn't need BR to survive, the only BR it needs is the Battle Rifle and we have it.

Omg I loved that quote “we’ve been waiting for a new halo for six years it’s not going away in three weeks”

Who would've thought that the game really would be dying right now

“We’ve waited on Halo Infinite for 6 years. It’s not going away in 3 weeks.” - The Act Man

Dr. Disrespect is more loyal to BR than his wife

This video didn’t age well

Boy this aged well. XD

Thebattle royale market is so beyond oversaturated at this point, its actually refreshing for me to see that one of my favorite franchises is not getting sucked into that black hole.

"Halo Infinite needs a BR" It already has a BR! The Battle Rifle!

This aged well actman...

Okay at this point .. they are somewhat right.

Well said: “They want a battle royale for the wrong reason.”

"It's not about the battle royale, it's about sending a message." - someone based IDK

And in the last 6 months The Act Man has put up a whopping TWO halo videos. I’m sure it’s not a matter of interest 🤔🤔

This video aged like milk

“What these streamers are really saying is that they can’t sell their viewers on a game if it doesn’t have a different version of the same shit they’ve been exclusively playing for the past 3-5 years.” Nailed it.

I keep getting confused whenever people talk about BRs in Halo Infinite, and I'm like "Yeah, if theres no Battle Rifle in Halo Infinite i imagine people will be upset"

Now halo getting a BR😔

this didnt age well. LMFao halo has a battle royal comming out now

Streamers: “don’t you want a BR mode in Halo?” Me: “Yeah! I would love a Battle Rifle only mode!”

"Halo needs a Battle Royale to last longer than 3 weeks" *"My audience, primarily made up of children, won't watch me play this if it doesn't have a Battle Royale."*

I wished this aged well.

Here after BR was announced for Infinite.

ok man comparing making formulaic content out of fear of branching out to Gwyn repeatedly linking the fire hit a little too close to home. Maybe it's time I embrace the dark.

Honestly streaming culture kills gaming for me sometimes.

Well this video aged like milk

This video didn't age well

The worst thing about this "every shooter needs a battle royale" mentality is that it encourages a homogenization of video games in general.

Doom games barely have a multiplayer, and hell, Doomguy is literally back to being a gaming icon of our time

He was 3 months and a week off, halo is, well, not dead, but it's fallen behind in player counts. Although a br would have done nothing for the game

What I hate about these guys is how fake they can be. They thought it would die and game sucks until they started liking it immediately after it being one of the highest viewed streams due to tournaments.

I don't get why people try and measure a game's success based on it's views on Twitch. It's absolutely ridiculous, Twitch viewers are a very small minority of the whole gaming community.

This did not age well...

I mean, ~5 months later and it really does look to be a dying game...

"Im so proud of this community" 😢

Dr. Disrespect is more loyal to the battle royale genre than he is to his wife.

It is May 2022 and halo infinite MP is dying. Maybe they were right. Maybe a BR would have helped keep it alive longer than a few months

if only they weren't right

Streamers: "Halo: Infinite won't survive without a BR." Halo Community: *"We'll make it."*

Halo to me has always been about Chief. His journey, his life, his story. It's always been the campaign.

This aged well. 😅😂

This aged poorly…..

"A game will die if it doesn't have battle royale" TF2 Fans currently keeping their game barely alive through hackers, lag bots, aimbotters, and a lack of updates for a handful of decades for years at a time and still going strong:

“When the is game launches viewership isn’t gonna be good” If i were a dev I’d sure hope so, I’d rather people be PLAYING the game

Funny thing is the game is dead pretty quick after launch

Well this did not aged well…

You never miss my friend

“Without a BR mode, Halo Infinite will die in three weeks” Me who's playing the same old Halo games on multiplayer and still having fun....

The dead rising music gets me nostalgic every time. Gonna start it up today!

I mean they weren’t completely wrong were they…

That intro has me in tears, legendary

Lmao my guy put the pewdiepie bridge clip 💀

This is so sad.. A time where everyone was so optimistic about infinite..

‘Halo Infinite’ Has Fallen Outside Xbox’s Top 5, Outside Steam’s Top 100 😥😥😥

Imagine thinking stream viewership dictates if a game is "dead."
