I'm hearing the new call of duty and battlefield are following suit for the next games to this battle royale shyt. I expect Halo to follow suit in some form or another. You already know the next gears may go into that direction.
The thing is, breh, I'm not upset about having a mode or part of the online experience have battle royale.
I thought you meant like Fortnite in regards to aesthetics/design.
Battlefield Devs get a lot of heat on the 'net, but I've been pretty happy w/ their products outside of Hardline; I trust that a war style battle royale would be exactly where that mode would fit in.
Now... If these studios decide to gamble and bring us an exclusively battle royale gaming experience... That would be tragic. I don't see that happening.
I definitely want the next Ghost Recon to have a battle royale mode, though. Maybe even the new Xbox exclusive State of Decay 2 that's coming out.
I just don't want it to be all it is.

W/ respect to Gears, I don't know if a full scale battle royale mode would work w/ it. Maybe a 10 team duos? I could see that, but they'd have to drastically reduce TTK.
