The reason they’re not merging this playlist with BTIS is because most people in that playlist don’t know how to do anything besides shoot at things. They would just kill farm and ignore the objective.

> I’d rather the Flood keep it and lower their movement speed, the Alpha Flood has a movement speed of 150% and I think the Flood have a speed of 120%, pretty much making the Thruster Pack pretty OP, lower the Alpha Floods speed to 100% and Normal Flood to 90% and it’s more fun, I was playing it with friends, it’s much more fair
But then the point of Flood using Promethean Vision and Active Camo (or any other AA that would be considered to be added) would become pointless because they would run too slow, and be forced to use Thruster Pack to get anywhere.
Zombie’s/Flood’s speed has always been 120% (at the least) to compensate for having just a melee weapon. Which in turn, helps gameplay be more fun and more fluid. The Flood’s speed needs to stay the same. Flood Thruster Pack, on the other hand, needs to be gone.
I understand your point. But it would just be a way better move to get rid of Flood Thruster Pack (at least in the main gametype).
BTB Skirmish? Thoughts?..
Sweet Dude, that is all.
Ordnance is likely to be a major problem, it’d have to be just map weapons.
But overall, should be fun, I miss hemorrhage though…
OMG, 343 first the weapon tuning, and now big team objective??? We love you! Have you been reading our minds??? (more like reading the feedback forums lol)

Exactly!
No, Dominion in BTS would just end up with a bunch of stat whores, camping in bases with rockets/shotguns/saws all game…
No fun when this happens atm in actual Dominion, no fun in BTS…
Thing I’m most worried about BTS is the nade spamming, god help you if you’re in a hill, holding oddball, or extracting a site…
I personally wish they would just mix Objective gametypes into Big Team Infinity, but I’ll take this. I have to wonder how the population will really fair though. I think The current objective at 6v6 is more popular than 4v4 (or was it 5v5?) was. I miss old objective though, but again I digress: I’m excited for big team objective.
> I have to wonder how the population will really fair though.
That’s what I don’t understand either. If they aren’t merging objectives into BTIS or consolidating then that’s an extra 8v8 playlist. Would think you would need more players to come from somewhere.
8 v 8 needs to be merged into btis. or at least keep a smaller objective play list.
I am one of those few objective players and 6 v 6 is the max I could bear. I don’t like to get things too messy and finding 8 players will be harder which will result in team members you don’t know letting the team down or kill farmers not co operating for the objective
I only expect to be disappointed. they’ll probably leave all the vehicles and ridiculous spawn times on aswell just like they ruined ctf
WHAT WILL THE FLOOD CHANGES BE??
LOL I’ve been behind the scenes with flood testing and know all the new maps/game-types coming out…
You’ll just have to wait and see but I promise you, these new additions are a whole lot better than what flood is currently.
So my favorite game type was BTIS now it takes upwards of 20mins to actually get a game of BTIS, with avoiding JiP & backing out of lobbies that are voting for Slayer Pro & now Big Team Slayer!
Then there is the atrocious amounts of lag I mean 1 in 5 game ends with black screens then back in the lobby!
Stop adding game types to BTIS just because that is the most popular ffs!

Umm, I can understand people avoiding JIP games, but can’t you just play slayer pro if the majority picks it? That’s the whole point of the system…
Yes, another 8v8 playlist doesn’t seem like it will go as well as hoped, 8v8 may be a bit too much for some objective gametypes unless personal ordnance is taken out…
Hopefully they fix that god awful Thruster pack, its annoying a lot of people atm. But I am interested in hearing what the new flood gametypes/maps are!
I would like to see dominion with 5 bases and only 2 ordnance drops at each of the bases. 5 bases would work on longbow and vortex only though.

343 added Slayer Pro & Big Team Slayer (which is the same but with radar) to BTIS playlist as it is the most popular 1 so they are forcing people to play them.
Now as the majority of Halo players do not read forums they will have no idea what Big Team Slayer is & will vote for it non stop as they did Slayer Pro when that was 1st reintroduced, tho it gets less & less votes now I see!
With the chaos they have created now on maps like LongBow with the stupid amounts of vehicles (come on 2 scorpions, 2 banshees, 2 hogs, ghosts etc!!)
Do we really need yet another option!
People say they cant add a playlist hmmmm Extraction springs to mind they add & remove that playlist at will…
As Slayer Pro was in the game at the start all they had to do was give it is own playlist like it had when released & add this yet another variant of it to that also!
