I’d just like to start off by saying it has been a very long time since I have visited these forums, 343’s revival of the MCC has gotten myself and many friends back into Halo. They have truly done an exceptional job of improving and fixing this game. The title is pretty self explanatory, Heavy maps in BTB (specifically Halo 3) were present before this massive update took place on the MCC. I wholeheartedly have never had more fun than when playing those maps. I truly think now is a better time than ever to have this massive scale mayhem accessible to the large player base present in Halo 3 BTB. What are your thoughts and opinions?
I completely agree to Heavies making a return for big team. You almost never have to fight with your teammates over getting a hold of what you want, whether it be weapons or vehicles. In a way it kinda mirrors how BTB was meant to be played.
It does remind me of one minor problem, Standoff, Last Resort, and Longshore either need a complete rethink or ought to be removed from said playlist. Why label it as having large-scale maps with vehicles if there’s only a warthog or a ghost on them? What I expect from a map is at least one aircraft, a tank, or other one-man vehicles per base. Those maps really have no place being in big team battle.
Aside from that, balance is never really an issue on Heavies since there’s more than enough power weapons to go around, sometimes a few too many. If one team gets spawn killed by the other that’s their own fault for not using what’s available on the map. It played extremely well back in Halo 3 from what I can remember, it’d be awesome if it came back.
Completely agree, the lack of tanks (when there were tanks in the original) make it so annoying. Tanks are the highlights of the game along with aircraft and other vehicles as that is the whole reason for BTB. Its so unnecesary to remove them and would be easy to add them back
