A Breakout match begins with players getting a "running start"<ref name="update">[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/community/blog-posts/community-update-off-to-a-running-start '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Community Update - Off to a Running Start'']</ref> by being propelled into the arena by [[man cannon]]s. With only a single life, the objective is to eliminate the opposing team or push the neutral flag into the opposing team's base (in contrast to the regular [[Capture the Flag]] mode where the flag is brought to the team base<ref name="sprint">'''[[The Sprint]]''', ''[[The Sprint: Mr. October|Mr. October]]''</ref>). Each two minute round ends when one team completes the objective, with five rounds needed to win the game. Players begin with reduced shields and are equipped with [[M20 SMG]]s and [[M6H magnum|M6H2 magnum]]s, with multiple weapons being scattered around the map.

*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 name="sprint"/>

*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 name="update"/>

*The first development and design of the mode started in [[2010]], during the development of ''[[Halo 4]]''.<ref name="update"/>
