I’m curious if anyone knows if 343i is planning on adding BTB heavies to the Big Team playlist… or if they will possibly add different game types to Big Team battle.
it was my favourite gametype on halo 3, BTB heavies on sandtrap, elephants, most fun I ever had online on halo likely in that
You know, you and others could start making the variants on existing maps and start creating maps of your own instead of waiting for 343 to tell you to do so; that way they can just simply add it to MM.
I’m making a 4v4v4v4 map (or remaking it that is) and thee is no playlist for it.
Just sayin.

Heavies on Reach was so much better in my opinion. Halo 3 was fun in it’s time, but the newer games are so much better and I’ve been playing since CE, day one.

BTB heavies in halo 3 was mental I So won’t heavies in halo 4.
Seriously? Have you played this game? Literally every match is a Heavies match with Ordnances popping up every five seconds. I can’t believe you’d actually want a Heavies variant, considering the vehicles are terrible and power weapons are already abundant.
OK - Heavies from a “grab a tank/Revenant/Ghost and let’s go!” point of view.
Lack of flying vehicles, wartie pea-shooter turret, and paper armor combined with stickies, PP and power weapons would be bad.
Guess I’ll go back to Reach…
I would just like at least 1 more map with a scorpion.
I would love to see the Scorpion, Gauss and Mantis on the same map, I think Heavies could bring this to fruition.

I would think that Heavies in Halo 4 would be built with an abundance of vehicles in mind with a slightly altered ordinance selection.
The implementation of Heavies in Reach made it so I stopped playing BTB that much.
Sadly non of the current BTB maps are big and open enough to support heavy vehicle combat. Heavies games would typical take part on very large canvas maps (Hemorahage, Boneyard and Spire on Reach; Avalanche, Valhalla, Sandtrap, Standoff in Halo 3)
The halo 4 BTB maps are far too cluttered and/or small to support tanks and most of them have invasive kill zones above the play area to prevent effective banshee use.
I know its not possible but…
BTMB (BIG TEAM MULTI BATTLE)
4 teams of 6 players
tons of vehicles, no ordinance, heavy weapon drops.
This would be tons of fun I feel…

Key words there: “I would think…”
343i has already proved incompetent when making and remaking gametypes. Look at Fiesta - that was the biggest fail I’ve ever witnessed with such an easy task at hand. Have they fixed it yet? I don’t think you can spawn with any weapon.
343i’s version of Heavies would be this:
- 5 ghosts at each base
- 2 tanks on each map
- 4 Ordnance drops that drop one of the following: Rockets, Laser, or Sniper. These vary according to map (so Meltdown would have Incineration Cannons and Binaries, while Exile would have Rockets and Sniper Rifles)
- Ordnance drops occur twice as fast for each player (2.5 times as fast with the perk)
- Random fusion coils stuck around the map
It wouldn’t be fun.
BigTeamBattle is heavies for the most part with everyone getting pods with snipers or rockets not to mention everyone with half a brain will be spawning with sticky and PP = practically the death of vehicle gameplay
343 343 first needs to balance the normal big team battle playlist and then they can add different variants…

Couldn’t agree more with you. Why do people want something that we already have. Infinity is big team heavies. Its terrible and not fun. Do you want everyone to spawn with an ordnance at the beginning of the game like fiesta and for there to be like 20 tanks for each team?
This is insane that anyone would want something that already exists. Have you played Big team infinity? I’m guessing is not random enough for some people. This game is gonna turn into unreal tournament if people want more power weapons.
