Please have a closing circle and work with squads🤞 they already have the closing circle and knocked teammates in-game.
If this is like a BR-lite hopefully it shows them that there's real demand for a BR.

Isn't gun game a FFA game anyway? I only know it from COD so not sure if it's the same in Halo. Why would it be called Last Spartan Standing if it was just BTB Gun Game?
Because it would include a number of players on the battlefield that's more associated with BTB
I think it's labeled as BTB because it's designed work on BTB maps. BTB and Arena modes follow different "rules".
Yeah I understand that part. The name just doesn't really make sense for Gun Game IMO but I guess we'll see when it releases!
Dunno, I feel like Last Spartan Standing is a lot more descriptive to what's actually going on in a mode where you have to kill other Spartans until you're the last one standing than 'gun game'.
I understand what the name Gun Game suggests but imagine if you're someone who's never heard that term. Id guess that the mechanic they want to get across is last man standing, not the gun upgrades.
That's what I mean. People are comparing it to "gun game"but the title suggests is less about getting kills with each successive weapon and more about surviving the longest.
The main connection to gun game is that the description implies earning score improves your loadout.
Unless they toss in some objective play the main way to get points is kills, just like gun game.

It's where everyone starts with the same weapon (often the weakest in the game) and then every time you kill somebody it gets replaced with the next gun. So everybody's levelling up throughout the match with new guns as they get kills.
When you hear rocket launchers being fired across the map you know somebody is close to winning!
Sounds interesting, but without that description I had no idea. Last Spartan Standing is way more descriptive.
I'm not sure this is gun game.
To me, the name Last Spartan Standing kind of implies it's a last man standing mode. So a one-life/limited-life free-for-all like Elimination from Halo: CE and Halo 2. The description is probably the twist that kills allow you to choose upgrades for your loadout.

I'll give it a shot, I've been having a ball with Fiesta so any variation or gimmick modes could be a cool change of pace from slayer.
Yeah, its a variation of FFA. Last Spartan Standing will probably be a one-life version of Gun Game held on BTB maps.
I've got so many questions.
FFA often means that much of the damage you deal will end up being assists. But it sounds like assist will still earn points towards upgrading the load out.
It clearly sounds like an elimination mode. Do players get eliminated by dying? Having a low point total?
Can't wait to hear more.I feel like a one-life version of gun game would be awful because people would value staying alive over accruing a score. But a game that escalates as players aggressively accrue score could be pretty awesome.
So likely not the Battle Royale I was expecting to read about from the title. A free for all mode that rewards good players playing well by making them even more lethal - sounds sweaty af, lol. Time's not right for a BR just yet anyway, game needs to at least offer what the majority of the core wants and address those engagement metrics before going in search of a new audience.
Who knows if you actually get more lethal, because a lot of the weapons are more side-grades than upgrades and the benefits are situational.
I'm convinced that Halo is perfect for the Battle Royale format, but it needs to be built from the ground-up and have the proper level of polish. It should be something that comes mid Halo Infinite's life cycle to supercharge the game and bring back a bigger player base and should feel functionally distinct from the standard BTB and Arena experiences.
Looks cool. Will they add any form of progression that is not the battle pass? That's what the game is missing for me, a rank system like in halo reach, the MCC, halo 5, you know, like every single halo since 3. Still can't believe the game launched without it.
Only read the title and thought this was another thread about the dwindling player numbers on Steam... /s
More content and modes are always welcome, because god knows it is one of the things this game needs, badly.

the rumour is certain affinity is/has been working on this for a while now. hopefully it's not 'just' this last spartan standing mode.
Pretty sure they're working on something else.
This mode seems to be based on the "ruleset" of Elimination. They have the same icon.

It seems its finally their take on battle Royale. "Improving your loadout" is the looting part (often boring) of BRs. Lets hope that its good in Halo.

That'll be me on the bottom right, not even facing the correct orientation.
There is so much potential for the current BTB structure it's just so sad that they can't do things faster. This is just going to be 24 player FFA with a circle on BTB maps which sounds awesome. They could even have doubles, triples and quads in the same style. Whatever Certain Affinity is working on I hope it's way bigger in scale than this
That's just the name of the set. This has a description of the game mode in the op and it doesn't sound like infectionWatch it just be Infection. Here's a "Last Spartan Standing" Mega Bloks set with a green Sword --
If it's FFA, I hope it's still playable with friends. The current FFA limitations on that are terrible. Sometimes you just want to kill your friends in addition to everyone else. "But teaming!" Have a good report functionality in place. CoD has been able to do the mode with no issues.

Attrition already has a closing circle. I would expect the same here.
