BTB has always been my favorite playlist in all the older games! However, halo 5 really screwed up BTB, with small maps, minimal vehicles and few heavy weapons.
This BTB Refresh finally addressed some of these issues! Just disappointed it took nearly a year to figure that out…
My favorite New Map in the update is probably Dispelled!! It reminds me of the Timberland from Halo PC! I also like the “Dig Site” map (don’t remember the name)
My favorite updated map has to be VIKING! aka Valhalla! It finally has Banshees + Wraiths, and I like the Forerunner addition opposite the pelican!
I also like that they made CTF more common!
Does anyone else agree that BTB in Halo 5 was the worst? And that it is a little better now??
Adding new maps is never a bad thing. I wish they would focus more on adding new maps rather than ‘remixing’ old ones. Some remixed maps seem to be for the better, others seem slightly worse.
I’m not a fan of CTF, but it doesn’t seem more common to me. I get it just about as much as I did before the update.
BTB in H5 was not terrible. I mean, it wasn’t very good, but it wasn’t that bad. I was perfectly fine with it (minus the lack of maps, which as you said - is a step in the right direction).
Conversely, I rarely get to see the new maps. Most of the time I’m playing remixes. I play BTB fairly often and I still have yet to experience some of the new maps.
A complete network infrastructure revise would be a step in the right direction: when your house is about to crack re-painting it is not the solution, fix the foundation is.
A shame that the new updates occasionally cause frame drops for many people, or at least it used to a few days ago. It seems like it’s slowly getting better.
Nice they added in wraith for Viking, now we just need a mantis on each side just like the good old days of Halo 4’s version called Ragnarok.
I noticed there were other vehicle variants, for example in Fracture there’s no a Tundra rocket hog and Sword ghost allowing with the standard mantis.
The bullet grouping and minimal spread on Halo 5’s Battle Rifle is still a problem against medium and light vehicles, and its too good for locking large parts of the map now creating stagnation. Hopefully changes to how the Halo 5’s BR function or replacing BR starts with bigger clip magnum will help Big Team Battle progress.
The current refresh has been good so far.

I agree on the BR issue. Either the BR needs tweaked or magnum starts need to replace it. Even BRs can destroy vehicles so long as everyone team shoots it. I myself can harass banshees very well on Viking if the opponents let me do it.
