343 Industries has no interest in making a Battle Royale mode for Halo.
343's Jeff Easterling and James Bachici were asked on the 343 Mixer social stream whether there would be a Battle Royale mode in Halo Infinite, and Easterling replied, "I'll tell you right now, the only BR we're really interested in is Battle Rifle."
Halo Infinite was announced at E3 2018 and will use the new Slipspace Engine created by the studio. 343 Industries said they heard "loud and clear" that players weren't happy with how little time they could play as Master Chief in Halo 5, so Infinite will focus on his story, picking up after Guardians.
As well as centring around Master Chief, Infinite will showcase a new art style that's been inspired by the "most iconic and historic parts of the Halo franchise" as well as player feedback.
Battle Royale has become more popular after the success of games like PUBG and Fortnite, and at this year's E3, both EA and Activision revealed that their respective shooters would include a battle royale mode.
Not much was revealed about Battlefield V's BR mode, but DICE promised more details later this year.
Activision announced Black Ops 4's BR mode was announced in May and will be available at launch.
Halo Infinite is available for pre-order online, and you can read about why we think the game should feature Battlefield 1 style War Stories as an interesting way to tell a story in the Halo universe right here.

I mean if you wanted Battle Royale you could try and make it in forge. Reach had that enormous map that could probably be big enough.

What about a scoped pistol to go with that BR?
