Big Team Battle playlist after Halo Anniversary

Games Other Halo
1

Hello,
I’ve never purchased any DLC for Halo Reach. But I did by Halo Anniversary and redeemed the code for those maps to be playable in Reach. But what I’m wondering is, since I have the Anniversary Map pack, and if I were to play Big Team Battle playlist, would it include those Anniversary maps in it, or does Big Team Battle playlist only include the default/stock maps?

Because I want to play Big Team Battle in a playlist that includes both the default/stock maps AND the Anniversary maps.

Thanks

I assume (happy to be corrected if required) that if you get a match in BTB and everyone in it has the DLC there’s a possibility you’ll get a DLC map as an option.

I went into Firefight Arcade yesterday and got Installation 04 as an option. So obvioulsy everyone in the game had it and it showed up! I would imagine it works the same way in every game type.

Why don’t you just play anniversary BTB you will always have those maps in it b/c if you do regular i highly doubt that 16 people will have the DLC

Yeah, and then I have to deal with the Anniversary style settings being thrown in there as well, where there’s no Sprint ArmorLock/etc. and the overpowered pistol.

But I feel that that is a poor setup. What it should do, is have it realize that I have only the Anniversary map pack DLC, and then have me only be paired with those who have at least the Anniversary map pack or something. I want to say that that is how CoD works, but not 100% sure.

They are ALL the maps in Big Team Battle to date found from here: Halo: Reach Playlists.

I highlighted the two maps from the Anniversary Map Pack which can show up in BTB.

Alright, thanks for everybody’s input. Very informative!

I guess I’ll just switch between BTB playlist and Anniversary BTB playlists. Not the worst thing in the world. See you all on the battlefield!

Now if only they’d make half the playlists “All DLC Required” so that it actually feels like I have 11 additional maps for this game.
