It has been long over due. Heavy in Halo 3 was the most fun I had playing Halo. Bungie said they might do it after they took the Scorpions off Hemorrhage but never got around to it. This would be another way for 343 to improve Reach even more. Opinions, thoughts?
I agree, I always loved a great game of BTB Heavy on Valhalla or Standoff.
But, I can anticipate several problems that would need extensive balancing. Namely, people have largely varying opinions about:
- Sniper rifle or DMR damage to vehicles
- Banshee bomb
- Gauss hog
If these weren’t balanced properly, BTB Heavy would probably be far less enjoyable than its Halo 3 counterpart.
We would also need some good maps for this, as I don’t think Hemorrhage or Boneyard would work particularly well (think: Invasion Slayer).
Overall though, I’d say it’s well worth it. I always voted for BTB Heavy when it was available.
Yes please. I loved heavies in Halo 3 and the Big Team playlist is in serious need of revision.
