Alright, so I have been watching and reading a variety of content regarding what people think should or should not be implemented in halo in the future and one thing no one seems to address is big team battle. Am I the only one who wants to see maps designed with the intention of btb going forward? I appreciate the forge maps and playlist in Halo 5, but it seems that btb halo of old is kinda getting the back seat to warzone. Also, I would love a btb snipers variant or playlist.

I don’t know what “content” you’re referring to, but Big Team Battle should certainly be addressed.

No, not by a long shot

I’ve noticed the same thing. I don’t like it. BTB and BTB Heavies have been my most-played and favorite playlist ever since I started playing Halo, up until Halo 5. I don’t like Warzone for various reasons, and I hope 343 realizes that it can’t replace BTB and BTB Heavies.

Why do you hate warzone?
Personally I hate it as well. I literally have no fun. It’s too chaotic for me but that’s not reason enough to dislike it as much as I do so would love to hear somebody elses rationale. I love playing games with many players on a very large scale with many different weapon variations… why do I still prefer BTB?
BTB definitely needs some more love. The only 3 decent maps are Viking, Traffic Jam, Fracture. Dispelled is just ok, along with that other Halo 3 remake but all the others are complete garbage. I’m so sick and tired of playing Eagle Square 5 times in a row. The maps also feel really cramped and suffer a lot of framerate drops. Maps with vehicles like recurve and dispelled need wider paths for the wraiths and scorpions. Wraith is too OP in small corridor maps (I get so many wraith kill sprees on recurve) and the scorpion on dispelled has it’s mobility so limited you die too quick.

For me it’s because it’s annoying to fight 10 people with banshees and snipers and etc. Just leaves a bad taste. There’s other reasons too but I’d say that’s the biggest. I just don’t find any fun
Honestly, I’m still waiting for the devs to create their own BTB maps that are not using forge assets and I’m hoping a map designed for BTB relies on vehicles to dominate the map with a fair share of power weapons to counter it.
Is it odd that I find both enjoyable? I like the "medium " size matches of big team, & I love calling in the req weapons & vehicles, that I choose, in warzone.
Considering that every single Forge map has been broken in some way and/or required shifting or testing (except the remake of Valhalla for some odd reason)…
Count me as one who would love to see a greater focus on the BTB side of Halo. I can’t stand WZ (like WZFF though), and prefer BTB to it 100 out of 100 times.
search for a image of halo 3 standoff. Then search for an image of halo 5 deadlock. Then ask anyone outside of the community which one is from the newest halo game. The 10 year old map looks 10 times better. Anyone unfamiliar with halo would think standoff was from the latest game.
One of these is a beautiful map with with an impressive background. One was thrown together by the forge community in an attempt to get a btb playlist in a game where it was an afterthought. No offence to forgers. You guys do way better than I ever could. But dev maps were needed in btb. They will be needed again.
I have a few thoughts for halo 6 that I will post in a seperate comment but I think you’re more than correct here and the community agrees. Btb needs to be better.
Since there will be dev made warzone maps. Why not make variants of these for btb? But 10v10 or perhaps 12v12 btb. It’s not the fireteam size btb players don’t enjoy in warzone, it’s the randomness on the req system.
The classic 2 armories 2 cores and 1 mid base won’t work. But the terrain of those maps can be added to and developed into solid btb maps by further development of the base of warzone maps… Put traditional weapon vehicle spawns on the maps.
With 12 v 12 we can still have classic game types like bomb (multi bomb would be awesome here) flag multiflag we could even have multiple objective types at the same time, dominion style games there’s a lot of options. Really have fun with the large mode objectives.
Theres a real opportunity for 343 to offer to the community something new but a little more inline with what they want while saving money. Every time a warzone map gets released there is one for assault that is inspired from that map but drastically different. Same with btb. Build the map specifically for btb.
Also in this gametype type I would like to see a clan wars style “company wars”. Team only mm in the larger team playlist. a place where the competative large fireteam players can play against others and seperate the solo queuers. We havnt had a clan wars type mm in well over a decade. I think it’s time to bring that back. Give companies more to strive for that an armor set.
In anycase, whatever they do btb can’t be an afterthought in h6. I hope 343 realizes this. Warzone isn’t what most btb players want.

Some new totally original maps , more reworked classic maps , some actual 343 made maps ( extremely poor they didn’t include this ) an option to rotate some community made maps in and out helping to keep the playlist fresh and extended its longevity. I loved btb but I must admit that since the BR has been changed I don’t play it as the inconsistency of the weapon thoroughly annoys me !!!
