I hate Big Team Infinty Slayer. Custom Loadouts and Personal Ordnance completely ruin the experience; Big Team Battle used to be about the big vehicle battles, but because of Plasma Pistol/Plasma Grenade starts and too many heavy weapons, that is no longer the case.
There’s also the matter of the DMR which practically turns the game into Team Snipers, and also Active Camo, which I find to be overpowered on large maps, especially when it comes to Sniper Rifles.
What I want to see is more of a Halo 3-style BTB with a dash of Halo:Reach; Battle Rifle/Assault Rifle starts, and mixed with Carbine/Storm Rifle starts for some variety in the loadouts, and only balanced AAs. Also, there should be be static weapon spawns on the maps; no Initial or Random Ordnance, either.
I’ve got a breakdown of this potential playlist right here:
<mark>1. Gametypes would include:</mark>
<mark>Big Team Slayer</mark>
*100 points to win.
*1 point per kill.
*-1 point for Betrayal/Suicide.
*Game Loadouts ENABLED (See below for details)
*Instant Respawn DISABLED.
*Initial/Random Ordnance DISABLED.
*Personal Ordnance DISABLED.
*Custom Loadouts DISABLED.
<mark>Big Team CTF</mark>
*3 points to win
*Game Loadouts ENABLED (See below for details)
*Instant Respawn DISABLED.
*Initial/Random Ordnance DISABLED.
*Personal Ordnance DISABLED.
*Custom Loadouts DISABLED.
These would be the two most common gametypes, but others could include Big Team variants of Extraction, Dominion, Assault (assuming they bring it back).
- Maps would include “STC” (Static) variants of existing BTB maps; basically versions with Satic Weapon Spawns, and also some traditional “Heavy” maps as well with an excess of heavy weapons and vehicles. The playlist would include Crimson DLC maps as well but should NOT be DLC required.

Vehicles would still need a buff, especially the Warthog; but his would help a lot for those looking vehicle action in Matchmaking. Post your thoughts.
