Am I the only person who thinks this playlist is a bit broke? I always loved BTB as I enjoy Big Team Slayer on maps like Hemerrage and Paradiso. However since Bungie updated the playlists in the Spring its been mostly fan forge maps and seldom slayer either. Used to love this playlist but I actually havent played Big Team Slayer on Hemerrage in months. Why? Well its never given as an option. I miss playing the regular maps on this mode as it used to be my fav playlist.
I am hoping for a major overhaul of all the playlists on the 15th. I agree BTB needs some work. I hope at least with the addition of Headlong and Ridgeline we’ll have a better BTB experience.
I always vote abridged and hemorrhage, best btb maps ever.
Yeah, before Bungie handed the Halo reigns to 343, they did a playlist update which changed the weighting of Slayer games coming up in BTB. The idea was to reduce the frequency that it popped up so people would have a chance to play objective games sometimes since Slayer almost always wins. The problem is, they reweighed everything too much. They kind of redid what they were trying to prevent, except now with objective games. Rather than having a nice mix of objective and slayer, it’s like 95% objective now.
Hopefully 343 will fix the weights in a future playlist update.
I love BTB but think one annoying aspect of reach is that 1 console parties in this playlist are limited to 2 people max, and when I have a few friends over on one console I would like to cause some team devastation on a wider scale!
It seems that objective gametypes have the majority weight in the BTB playlist. I prefer slayer over objectives, and I feel the weight of objective to slayer gametype options should switch, giving slayer a higher chance of being a voting option over objective gametypes.
Yes, I agree this is my favorite playlist, but lately all you get is terrible forge world maps with crazy gametypes. Don’t get me wrong I love playing on hemorrhage (which actually is heavily weighted) with objective gametypes, but when all you play on is Abridged, Atom, and Cliffhanger (which the last two THANKFULLY have been removed recently) with nothing but objective games, it gets a little tiresome. I like to play on original maps as well as hemorrhage and paradiso, and would like to see a little more slayer too. Also can’t wait until the CEA maps refresh the playlist!
