Control is trash
1. Whoever controls B wins the match. 2. There is no mini-map. 3. You can only check the scoreboard if you open the map. 4. If you want to check the map, you must first click Z to remove the score...

@reconzero An off topic question here. Why do you think Halo (and Split Gate) is doing poorly right now? Is the era of arena shooters just over? People were saying “If only Halo had a BR mode.” Genuinely curious because like what I’ve said in other threads, xbox is just non existent in Japan/Asia. Master Chief is just the xbox mascot for us and it always has been Nintendo vs Sega or Nintendo vs Sony (PC gaming is getting is bigger than ever though in JP).
@Cheese9Man Having played Halo since the beginning, I can say that the only lure there anymore is forge mode. I wouldn't even go back for a Halo battle royale at this point. That said, I'm told the reason it's doing poorly is the same set of reasons it did poorly last time around: too little too late. I myself downloaded on day one, played one match that I didn't enjoy, and then said, "Well, if I can't forge anything until 2023 then there's really no reason for me to be here." When I changed my mind a week later, I launched the game and it crashed my console (just as one of the MCC updates had done). Sorry, 343. Build a game that doesn't brick the console it was made for.
I can only tell with certainty that the age of arena shooters is over for me personally. But if you really want to know where the future is going to take the industry and the audience as a whole, I've always grudgingly said, "Look to Call of Duty." That's the game that sets the course. I'm told their BR mode is terrible, but if I know anything about CoD it's that they'll just keep doing it until they get right. And then wrong again, and then half-right. Etc. Can I picture a day when CoD no longer has team deathmatch? Nope. I can picture a future without any Halo at all, but not without TDM.

- @reconzero Thanks for answering and explaining thoroughly. Western gaming culture, more specifically the xbox culture, is something that interests me since no one had here.
