Please, please, please limit the rotation of The Rag (Ragnarok) and Exile! Please!
I just played The Rag 7 times in a row because people refuse to try new maps. BTW, I call it The Rag because it’s depressing every time it’s on.
Longbow, Vortex, and Meltdown are all great maps.
I guess it’s good for the developers to not have to be creative. They can just serve up the same old stuff if gamers want it.
The monotony is killing me!
But most of the BTB maps suck.
The large one that I hate in SWAT would be an okay map for BTB.
If you mean Complex then, yeah, that would be a good BTB map.
They have decreased the vote option data on those maps twice now, but with only 5 maps and 3 vote options they will always end up as a vote option. The playlist does need new maps asap in order to fix it, Complex could easily be added and later on we could have some Forge maps. I’m pretty sure 343 could get som really good maps from the members over at BTB.net
Allso post here to give them feedback on BTB.

I hear you brotha, I’m tired of playing those two maps as well.
the only maps i like are Haven, Vortex, and the community made maps.
They need to put some Big team battle forge maps in USE THE FLIPPING FORGE MAPS YOU GAVE US!!
Have some sort of rally or something to get forgers interested and pbulicize there name out peoplewill start forgeing more.
Lets see… limit the popular maps! Awesome idea! -_-
Exile does need to be limited but I barely ever see Rag show up as an option to vote. What needs to be changed is the voting system, once a map has been played twice in a row it needs to stop showing up in the vote for at least 2 games.
Take away the only good maps?
I say go back to the Halo 2 style, no voting, no vetoing, you get what you are given. I had a much more varied experience back then, than in any of the subsequent games.
Thing is, I love Ragnarok as a map, I really do. It’s the new gameplay that makes the map unplayable. Everybody camps and if you move, you’re dead. The DMR completely ruins this map, as it almost does the entire game. Thanks to PP’s and sticky nades the vehicles are also useless, so that’s one more reason to just camp. And finally, why would you go out of your way to acquire a power weapon, when it’s much easier to just camp the -Yoink- out of your enemies and keep getting those sniper/beam/binary rifles from your care packages and just stay where you are.
It’s not that bad on all maps, though, because they are made for different gameplay. I always vote for Meltdown if possible, and I love the Shatter and Wreckage from the Crimson map pack. I think those are pretty nice maps to play on. The best thing about Shatter is that the Mantis is so well balanced in that map, whereas in Ragnarok you can dominate the entire map with it, unless you’re playing against a bunch of dudes who actually know what they are doing.
Ragnarok has become one those maps from which I instantly quit. Adrift and Complex are already on that list, if I’m playing SWAT. I can tolerate Adrift in other game modes and Complex in CTF…
I would ask why Complex and Shatter don’t have Warthogs, but I realize it wouldn’t make a difference 'cause Halo’s most important vehicle is nowadays useless anyway…
