The current BTB maps all being claustrophobic three-lane corridors don’t really help these issues at all either. Hopefully they add some variety sooner rather than later.

Yeah, as someone who has always had BTB as the main playlist I play, I agree. A big part of the BTB experience is the vehicle combat. Things like the Scorpion and Wraith ought to spawn in at the start of the match on both sides, not maybe possibly drop in throughout the match and drop in unevenly. I can count on one hand how many matches I’ve been in that have had either tank spawn in, and outside of the week of fiesta for the samurai armor event, I’ve played almost nothing but BTB.

I’ve always been a fan of BTB but Infinites has too much downtime. Theirs also tons of randomness involved. Weapons drop and you get no ping for them, vehicles just drop at random. All of the encounters on all of the maps take place in funneled spaces. None of the maps are remotely good. I’d rather have 8v8 on non epic sized maps. BTB just feels flat and it’s really sad. The vehicles don’t feel great either. Everything is ultra easy to stop aside from tactical wasp players.

Btb is trash atm. It has unequal vehicle spawns and weapons. There is no consistency at all and it’s frustrating.

Agree with OP that vehicles are off. It was more fun to play Fiesta because the vehicles would pop in immediately. I’ve rarely seen a Scorpion or Wraith and when I do, it’s too late to make any difference. I’d be more excited by the Banshee, but it has been severely nerfed. I hope 343 will address both these issues!
in an attempt to make everything balanced, you make everything underpowered and weak. in the time i’ve played, i’ve gotten a wraith and scorpion both once.

BTB feels fantastic, but I do agree about the tanks. They spawn way too late in the game.
Not to mention there is no equality in btb.
We lost an objective game because the enemy team got two wasps and the neutral vehicle was a tank which they got due to wasps.
It’s bull****.
For me it feels off because of vehicle spawns. Everything should spawn at base not mid. I haven’t even used a wraith or scorpion yet

So on BTB overshield or camo spawn at each base, or in the middle. Generally right by power weapons. On Deadlock it is totally unfair as the powerup only spawns on one side with the power weapon nearby at their now-advantage. for that side.
Again on deadlock, that’s not even the issue as people don’t even rush powerups or power weapons that are on map from the start. Lol. I have absolutely no idea where people go in slayer if they don’t get 1st BR/Commando as they aren’t going to the sides to get the power weapon on that map, and aren’t at the powerup. Are they seriously just AR and pistoling in the center? Or jumping in the Shade turret and shooting at nothing? Like what is there to do if oyu don’t get a precision weapon and aren’t rushing good stuff.
