so because you dont like the BTB maps you wont ever touch arena again, makes sense
While feedback is always necessary to make things better, “btb maps are terrible… i mean the worst… i mean just sad… did 5th graders make them?” isn’t really constructive feedback at all. Are there any specific maps you aren’t liking? Anything you think could make them better? Any opinions on spawn points or weapon placements? Anything on the weighting of specific maps? We have quite a few feedback threads open for various things. If you really want 343 to “fix” anything, you’ll need to step up and tell them what it is they need to fix.

You have a 2.2kd… Yup no right to moan.
I couldn’t disagree more with the OP.
I think the forged maps are largely great.
Viking might be better than the OG Valhala because of the better vehicle vs infantry play in H5. All the additions to it are excellent. Have played some tough CTF games on it, and some changes may need to come to force scoring, but I kinda hope they leave it as is.
Basin is a solid open air BTB map, in the tradition of Blood gultch etc. Hopefully, further updates to forge pallette will get it looking better.
Fracture might be my favourite of the genuine new maps. Really great layout, options, counters. Plays very differently to the other maps too.
Antifreeze has improved since it first showed up in BTB. Still think there’s some underused areas, and maybe wouldn’t mind a couple more vehicles, but it’s great for strongholds. Need to play more CTF, the flag position is daring, but need to see how it plays out.
Stand Off Remake, like Viking, is better than H3 variants due to better vehicle balance. No gauss hog slaughter.
Altar (Sandtrap) is a bit messy. But Sand trap always was, it’s just so big. Having the underground areas for spawns is a good idea, I’m still not sure they solve the possibility of drastic map control and spawn camping on occasion, but overall, I’ve had some fun times. Not sure the missle pods are really worth being on the map. I don’t know what to replace them with.
Scavenger is a lovely looking map, and I’ve had some fun times on it, but it’s a shame, as far as I know, it only seems to be in for Slayer. is there a strongholds variant?
Eagle Square is just great. Very symetrical, a different feel to the outdoor maps, and a lot of flag away stand offs.
There’s a few other maps whoese names elude me right now, but either way, BTB is only getting better.
I didn’t think it was possible to -Yoink- up BTB, but they did.
Besides, if you took out the community maps you would be left playing all games on Basin.
Should say that I think boulevard really needs some work. Hoping some of the aesthetic upgrades to forge will help that map. Seems to have some interesting areas, but I’ve played 3 games and still don’t get the layout at all.
I wouldn’t know every time I play BTB I play stronghold on one level that I can’t seem to think of the name.
