==Trivia==
*In the [[Halo 5: Guardians Multiplayer Beta|''Halo 5: Guardians'' beta]], the object of the game mode was to simply eliminate the opposing team. However, this sometimes led to stagnant games due to the ease of [[camping]], so flag capture victory was added to the final version.<ref>'''[[The Sprint]]''', ''[[The Sprint: Mr. October|Mr. October]]''</ref>
*At San Diego Comic-Con 2015 ''Halo'' fans were able to play in an actual Breakout arena with nerf guns. [[Frank O'Connor]] reprised his role as [[Beamish]] to clean up between matches.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dy5eCyHuMsA '''San Diego Comic-Con 2015''']</ref>
*Breakout was heavily inspired by "Speedball": competitive paintball with inflatable bunkers that was played by ''Halo'''s multiplayer design director, Kevin Franklin. "Speedball" was also the development name for the prototype Breakout map, [[Crossfire]].{{Ref/Reuse|update}}
*The first development and design of the mode started in [[2010]], during the development of ''[[Halo 4]]''.{{Ref/Reuse|update}}
