Big Team Battle is in a terrible place right now, frankly it’s the worst it has ever been in the franchises history and it all comes down to 343’s changes and decisions and complete lack of acknowledgement of said issues.
Here’s the list:
- Random weapon spawns - one team gets BR’s while the other gets commando’s.
- Objectives change places and often favor one team.
- Random vehicle spawns…
- Vehicles are weak, die easy, handle poorly and some are downright useless.
- Maps are claustrophobic for vehicles, and kind of small for 12v12 when you consider the size of past games.
- Lack of dedicated heavy vehicles spawns.
- Vehicles dropped from pelicans can flip upside down.
- Vehicle doom state looks like crap and is a crap mechanic.
—Vehicles—
I have seen Scorpions dropped upside down making players lose the tank which is ridiculous because I haven’t used one in Multiplayer at all… And I’ve played over 40 matches.
I have Had a team capture zones in total control and then instantly lose the next two caps because both of the subsequent objective spawns favor the enemy.
I have lost matches because the enemy gets a tank and we get a rocket hog.
The banshee is a flying turd, the bomb does not kill in one shot and it will fall apart like lego after a couple hits, the wraith tank’s bomb has a terribly small blast radius and not that powerful and handles poorly.
The warthog needs way more armour/health and the ability to shoot farther down as well.
—Maps—
As stated before the maps are claustrophobic for vehicles. Even if you got a Scorpion you can’t drive around that much.
We only have 3 maps as well…
Random weapon and vehicle spawns need to go and standard weapon, vehicles and equipment need to stay. Period.
—Objectives—
We need more objectives, Assualt, VIP, KoTH, one bomb/flag and multi flag.
If the objective points are going to keep moving, we need better spawns for them, because when a team captures all the zones in total control and then the enemy team wins the next two uncontested, back to back in 2 minutes, you know your crap is borked.
