A return of Community maps to BTB

Would y’all support the return of community made maps in BTB and other playlist?

I’d be down, problem is when you introduce Forge maps into Big Team Battle, you’re asking for frame rate issues, especially when guests are allowed in the playlist.

yes. I’ve never had problems with community forge maps in team slayer or BTB playlist unlike 90% of the other people that can’t seem to adapt to their surroundings. In reach the forge maps made that game bearable. In Halo 3 it was a gift. Halo 4 so far it’s made the game more fun from the forge maps I’ve got to play on in matchmaking.

The more forge maps the better. I’d like to see that Forge Island actually get some good matchmaking use out of it.

sighs It’s always something. Surely there’s a way?

The maps don’t have to look pretty, they just need to change the flow of combat. =)

There’s a fix, make it so guests can’t play Big Team Battle. Simplex is a fine example of a small map which has huge frame rate drop when there is only one guest.

I can troubleshoot an M4 but you’re going to have to explain to me why guests are the cause.

When you play with a guest, the game has to render everything again for each guest, so if you have three guests, you are essentially rendering the Forge map four times. The Xbox 360’s tech simply can’t handle that, heck, it can sometimes hardly handle it with just one player.

Does the same thing happen when there are 4 people on one console?

Yes, I should probably be saying split screen players and not guests.

Gotcha.

I would enjoy having forge maps in BTB. 343i should just host a forge contest for BTB maps soon so the community could make maps for them.

Screw big team, we need more smaller maps in matchmaking.

Or get those forge communities to build things as well.

Compromise, do both.

Sure. Anything beats the current maps.

> Sure. Anything beats the current maps.

Current maps are fine, just need more.

A fresh slew of maps and adding objective gametypes would be a great way to spice up BTB.

Default H4 forge makes it very dificult to do something interesting that is also splitscreen compatible, however, FI makes it much better.
I’ve been forging splitscreen compatible maps since reach and i’ve recently achieved a btb one for H4.It’s not impossible.

Capture the flag.
