Maps are horrible - bad textures, seems like they were forged by someone with their monitor turned off. - Spawns are broken. - You spawn with your AR out instead of your BR - It’s ranked - Low REQ points for time played.It’s like 343i purposely made BTB bad so people continue playing warzone. More players playing warzone = more chance of REQ pack purchases.
I think I would have more fun playing a gamemode where you throw a brick through a window than BTB.
How did you manage to ruin a classic such as BTB? You better turn your monitor on when you work on the social playlists 343 Industries.
BTB is as it has been forever. And they developed maps to have a rich Arena experience at launch. I guarantee there will be large-scale maps in the first FREE map drop.
I honestly think the team at 343 doesn’t know what fun is. Social playlists are probably never going to come, or the ranking system is going to be scrapped due to extremely low “popvlation”. This game basically lasted a month. It is sad. Time to go buy _____.
Halo 3 is 8 years old & used previous-gen platform…
yet somehow had better forge textures.
As a long-time Tibia player, I’m the last person to complain about graphics… but this is honestly just a slap in the face. If it were April, I would be 100% convinced it’s a joke.
Core gameplay is still top-notch and I’ll be playing this for years, but if this is what maps are going to look like from the eventual forge release, then it’s definitely below industry standard.
It’s just so…weird, It’s like 343 is a company full of yes men and every idea someone comes up with people tell them “oh awesome great idea!” and there is no one around to say “ok no it’s not a great idea and here’s why”
every step forward this franchise has taken since they took over it has taken 2 steps back, BTB is fun…kinda…not immersive in the least bit due to the forge maps looking like they were made on coleco vision, but anyone who thinks this is an improvement over BTB in previous halo games (even 4) is kidding themselves
I must say, I am personally enjoying the headlong remake and having fun in general with BTB but without a doubt, the maps are ridiculous. My girlfriend saw the street/bridge on Headlong and she says… What is this, the new Lego: Halo edition? haha
I’m having a blast playing BTB sorry that you guys find it so hard to have fun. I’m loving the maps.
I understand the graphics are forge level but for me gameplay trumps all.
AR/BR BR/AR, potatoe potata, also while i would prefer BR/AR its isn’t much of a deal and it’s a really easy fix for the future.
Ranked, helps you get matched against similarly skilled team, if you want to play socially just play and, you know, have fun and ignore the fact that its ranked? Social playlists confirmed incoming.
Low Req points, “meh” req points are mainly for warzone.

This^^^^^^ forge is fun but it should NEVER be the core. Original designed maps should be the core and forge is extra for something different once in while.
Haters gonna hate
I have been saying in many other posts: haters gonna hate. Seriously one major complaint was that people wanted the BR as a starting weapon and we got it. People wanted BTB back because they did not like warzone and we got it. I may agree that we should get a little more REQ for longer and bigger games but I would not use that as an argument to say BTB is bad. Maps are pretty good, there are a couple I personally do not care for but that doesn’t mean that they are bad maps. They just do not fit the style of play that I use especially for BTB. There have been maps in every FPS that I loved or hated. Halo is no exception (and I mean every Halo). I will also agree that the spawns can be frustrating at times. I have gotten killed right after spawning and taking three steps, but there are players every where it is bound to happen.
And another thought: 343 gave us this update for free. I cannot remember the last time that I got a new game mode filled with maps and more gear and weapons for free. They could have just said “yeah BTB, New Reqs, New Maps $15.99 or sign up for a season pass for $60.00”. So we should be ecstatic that 343 have been listening to us (because I have actually never heard of any developer doing so) and hooking us up with some great stuff.

Yeah deep down i know 343 has a good hearth. But at this moment i am just disapointed that they only have forge maps in btb. I feel a little cheaped out. But on the other hand praise the lord that 343 is the opposite of EA. And that is a very good thing
Ok, now you’re just complaining for the sake of complaining. BTB is a blast. And the whole DLC is FREE!!! Why complain about FREE STUFF? Suck it up, buttercup. Adapt and overcome.
I’m trying to like BTB. I played a lotnlast night and had a blast. The standoff remake is easily the best and the cloest to the original not only in look but the way it plays. Hopping in a warthog with a decent group really does lift the game. However the others dont feel as fun, with Revcurve (Longbow) being what I think is down right awful.
Now I’m not sayjng I could do better; I have yet to come close to a finished product, but some of the features of recurvenare horrible. The tank is a bad decisionnto have as well as the lack of decent cover from the sniper in mid and the travel time in CTF is too short between bases.
I still have hopes for 343. They are doing things right. The gunplay is solid, add fixed aim and EU servers to that and itll be near perfect. How they need to step up in some areas. Forge textures seem a little shoddy (This may be different when forge is out) and the slection of maps is small with remixes being an insult (provided they are part of the total map count)
TL;DR BTB is pretty fun and with little improvements this game will go a long way.

No, that line of thinking is bad.
BTB has been in every single properly-released Halo game. They aren’t ‘hooking us up with great stuff.’ They gave us something that should have been released with the full product, but probably because they decided to focus on Warzone, they pushed BTB back in order to nudge the usual BTB population to Warzone.
I have no doubt that if 343 did the whole charging for BTB both myself (a long-standing Halo player that even bought the Legendary edition) and many others would be done with Halo.

I thought BTB was delayed? As in it was supposed to be included in the final release but wasn’t ready. Just like Forge. Free would imply that they had no plans on releasing it and that Warzone was to be its permanent replace l (thank goodness it isn’t) and after the community requested BTB, they decided to pull resources from other projects and work on adding it. But “free” or not, we all know BTB should have been available at lauch and we all know why it wasn’t(Warzone Microtransactions).
