I have felt for a while it needed this but the new map really shows this. I have been able to play many matches with the 8v8 and BR (not done Bandit with 8v8 yet) and man it flows soooooooooooooo much better. The pistol is just out of it’s league alot. I wish they would add to the mag of the pistol speaking of which. The new map is fantastic overall. It is finally starting to feel like a Halo map and not a junkyard with stuff just thrown around. I hope we see some new modes to test stuff out to see how the community feels after playing them for a week or two.

so you’re asking for a lower player count on an already huge map?

When you play 8v8 you will see that it plays better. There are still plenty of people. Large maps are nothing new to Halo. I have played all games and variants and Halo just leans itself better to 8v8 than 12v12. Bigger is not always better.

I’m not saying bigger is better, but infinite’s maps are noticeably larger than previous maps.
For larger maps such as most of the maps in infinite’s BTB, 12v12 works wonderfully. On smaller maps such as breaker, 10v10 or 8v8 is more suitable imo
I haven’t minded 12v12 much yet, but I’ve also played it substantially less than 8v8 in my life time. Unless you count Warzone I guess?
8v8 can be nice because it definitely feels like you have a bigger individual impact on the game. 12v12 kinda feels like you’re just playing and whatever happens happens sometimes. That might be when you just happen to not be part of any successful objective plays in a round though
I’d rather not touch 8 v 8 BTB. 12 v 12 is fine.
That would be why you use forge created maps.
An 8v8 playlist would be nice, I mean it’s not like they don’t have any maps the could dust off and re-use 
I agree with precision starts, but 12v12 is okay. I think the game could benefit from an 8v8 playlist though, as well as a 6v6 (if they don’t have that already). It is odd that team slayer has AR BR starts but not big team. Lastly, BR only starts has no place in team slayer as a casual playlist, just give us an AR and a BR, that’s good enough.
I haven’t really had any issues with it being 12v12, but I haven’t had really had any experience with 8v8 in Infinite. I would definitely like to see AR/Bandit starts. The BR just has too much range and is too accurate to make a starting weapon. It just causes spawn camping and cross map BR fights. I’ve played every Halo game and every time it’s BR starts it just turns into that and it’s not fun.
I think Halo needs to have larger BTB, not smaller.
I’d love br starts instead of ar. AR is not an appropriate weapon for these big open maps as it’s not a long range gun or even a decent mid range gun at least give us something to start with that’s somewhat accurate at these longer ranges.
