Big Team Battle is delayed and being added to .the game at a later date. Since maps are being specially created for this gametype, I’m hoping they know they need to make them BIG this time. Two of the best Big Team Battle maps I ever played on were Sandtrap and Avalanche. I would actually love to see those maps added to the game, but if they’re not making any classic maps then they should at least use them as inspiration.
Another thing I’d like to see are more vehicles. I don’t know if it’s possible to add more vehicles to this game, but I know other legendary weapons will be added at a later date so I’m hoping vehicles can be added as well. The new tank in Halo 5 is the M820 Scorpion and as always it would be neat if they could add a legendary M808 Scorpion. This game is also missing a UNSC aircraft, so I would love to see the Hornet return. Although the Falcon would be a welcome addition as well, but I would remove one gun turret in order to allow flag carriers to board. If they don’t want to add a craft that carries people like that, then I would recommend the Sparrowhawk. That would make for a good anti-Phaeton vehicle.
Either way, Big Team Battle maps need to be BIG. They need large open spaces for as many vehicles they can stuff onto one map.
They’re probably going with classic btb, so 8v8. They’re more comfortable making maps to that level so I would imagine, but I could be wrong of course.

They haven’t actually said how many players BTB is going to be though have they? I don’t see why it can’t be 12v12 like Warzone? I totally agree, much bigger maps, much more going on, longer matches etc!
I would like it if they would take a BTB map from each game and make successors of each one for 5 as Halo 4s BTB maps left a lot to be desired. Would love to see a recreation of Spire from Reach, a fantastic map.
Also you have to consider with weapons like the DMR in game, maps like Sandtrap simply wouldn’t work unless they don’t put any DMRs on the map
So I’ve said this in previous threads, and it would be great if someone can confirm, but have 343 actually flat out stated that they are making maps specifically for BTB? because with how sneaky they have been with things regarding this game (locke/chief mission split, map count/remixes, split screen etc) it wouldn’t surprise me to see BTB come with warzone DLC maps and then for BTB to just have regular objective gametypes on those maps plus the warzone maps that came with the game
Watching Halo Live, it was just mentioned that 343 is listening to the fans and they’ll examine the possibility of adding vehicles to the game. Hopefully that includes Hornets, or Falcons.

Your crazy avalanche and sandtrap were awesome big team maps. I would be ecstatic if they were remade.
Your two favorite maps for BTB are my two most hated lol. I wanna see something inspired by Hedlong, bloodgultch obviously, and maybe something inspired by Burial Mounds.

Avalanche is easy one of the best Big Team maps.
Sandtrap was just an okay map for most of the standard gametypes on it, but it was probably the best for the bigger Multi-Team games (6 teams of 2).

They haven’t bee sneaky at all, but whatever. They have explicitly stated that they have BTB-specific maps. They even brought in some Forgers to make some (which the 343 map team is polishing up for release).

Keep in mind back when those maps were around, we did not have sprint. So yes it was more of a walking simulator than anything. The maps will move MUCH faster now with everyone having unlimited sprint.
I think 12v12 or larger is whats up. We need a playlist that can fit enough people so that parties don’t have to split apart when a lot of friends join the same lobby.
