With the new update (which is fantastic) most of the maps have been updated with weapons and VEHICLES.
Vortex has not 1, not 2, not 3, not 4, but 5 power vehicles when the old version only had 2.
There are 1x Banshee, 2x Mantis and 2x Gauss hog.
Personally I am fine with this because I really enjoy vehicle gameplay but don’t you think this might be a bit too much?
I cannot think of any other Halo map ever that has had 5 power vehicles, the most I can think of is Coagulation.
Including the Gauss hog passenger seats, more than an entire team can fit in these power vehicles, not even including the regular hogs and ghosts.
I don’t really know if I like this change or not.
Please discuss.
EDIT, Now after reading the matchmaking update it seem Ragnarok has 6 power vehicles. I guess they’re trying to go for a BTB heavies feel then…

Where I can I find that…I haven’t found it:(
I’m glad they did that because BTB in past Halos was always about heavy vehicle and weapon gameplay (okay there are Too Many 1 Shot kill weapons now)…
I remember back in Reach BTB heavies was one of the popular gametypes and I really loved it and Look at Vortex now (can’t say anything about ragnarok because the only Maps I See are meltdown, Vortex and settler) it Plays very well with the New vehicles, you have a Chance of survival with vehicles now (: before the Update I hated Vortex because it played terrible (only got One perfection with the wraith) and now I already had 2 rampages with the mantis and the Gaus hog so I don’t See why you’re complaining it’s just a better vehicle gameplay they offer now…
I despise all the vehicles on the maps, particularly the mantises on exile the gauss hogs on almost EVERY BTB map, and all the ghosts all the time.
They have gone completely overboard with everything now including the weapon spawns - two snipers on almost every map, SAWs left and right, OS every minute and a half, rockets on complex, incinerator on exile, fuel rods on meltdown. All on top of personal ordinance.
I strongly wish they hadn’t changed the maps. It’s like playing FIESTA with HEAVIES. It sure as hell doesn’t feel like Slayer anymore.
Great weapon update.
Piss-poor map update.
Well, the thing about having multiple heavy vehicles on maps is that they cancel each other out.
So that’s all fine and dandy.
P.S. Sandtrap Heavies had 2 Scorpions, 2 Wraiths, 2 Gauss Hogs, and 1 Banshee.
Add them up and you get 7.
I enjoyed just having the Wraith & rocket hog on Vortex, tho I do enjoy that map even more now & with Ragnarok now having 2 rocket hogs that equals that out.
I am sad they have removed the Scorpion altogether as I hadn’t completed my Commendation for it!
I haven’t noticed 1 on any of the maps which kinda sucks when I am 73 of them away from the commendation I think. So if anyone notices the big UNSC tank on a map I would be grateful for an update of its location, thank you.
Scorpion is on Outcast in Dominion, but this Map Shows up as an Voting Option with a 5% chance

I dont think I’ve EVER played Outcast in Dominion, and I’ve played nearly 300 games in Dominion.
No, it isn’t too much. BTB has really needed some more vehicles added since day 1. I’m really happy with these additions, though I don’t see why the Wraith was removed from Vortex, and the Scorpion needs to be added back in somewhere.
Besides, the damn PP/PG combo still exists, and is still just as capable of destroying any vehicle…
Heavies FTW and no I don’t mean fatties.
it’ll be overkill if someone makes a map on forge island (the biggest one) that has 16 scorpions that respawn after 1 second of being blown up
I think they should bring back BTB heavies with the current map updates and standard BTB with the old vehicle placement with some fixes.
Frankly it’s a bit too much IMO. Ragnorak yesterday the game’s framerate actually slowed with all the chaos (not lag).

Exactly what I was thinking. The maps were ok, they should have just added a heavies gametype with the current map settings.
