BTB Refresh

It’s like the title says. What would you like to see added, taken out or completely rebuilt from the ground up in BTB. Let’s hear it folks.

Actual BTB maps instead of Forged ones.

Personally I would like the playlist to be completely redone to suit Mangum/Ar starts as a change of pace to the Br starts we have, but in no way am I saying Br starts are terrible, but it would be nice change of pace.

The maps were designed for AR/Magnum starts.

I would like AR/Pistol starts. I would also like some new and refreshed maps. Ducain is in the process of redoing his Burial Mounds remake utilizing a lot of the new tools that weren’t around when all these maps were originally made. There is so much potential in beautiful maps now, and none of the original BTB maps utilize them because they came out before the features were added.

I went back to BTB the other day and it didnt look like they changed at all from months ago, except now theres a railgun instead of a Splaser on Guillotine. I thought maybe the textures would be updated or pieces would look better… guess not yet…

I would like BTB to actually be BTB. Vehicles that aren’t paper, maps that aren’t forge, maps that actually give you vehicles and so on. BTB in Halo 5 was kicked to the curb, stomped on, drove over and left for dead. So sad to see BTB is such a poor state.

Agreed

Yeah it’s really disheartening that one of Halo’s iconic playlist is purposefully ignored and imo it should be called community BTB. All they would have to do to playlists, in the game, in general is to add things in the game itself which would literally use no resources on their part and wouldn’t take that long to implement.

Yeah its a shame. And if you take off the e (for effort) it becomes a sham

Nogodanywhere(maker of viking) made a post what do you want me to change in viking.
Plus ducain is updating burial mounds. we will probably have some map refresh soon.

i want new modes. Like where is assault? btb heavies? Other than that, i’d love some actual maps, some of the maps are rubbish imo.

Not only should it be called community BTB, but the community should be in charge of updating it. That way, we could have Magnum starts, new maps added in regularly, different gametypes, etc. You know, actual support rather than 343i’s purposeful rejection of it to promote Warzone.

AR/Pistol starts, along with BETTER maps, not neccessarily dev-made, though. Maybe a map that is a giant hive of CQB hallways and buildings, and maybe an urban map that doesn’t suck? Also maybe a more vehicle-centric map, but not so much so that going on foot is impossible.

343 confirm that they are working on a refresh for quite a while for big team I’m sure it take some time to make sure everything’s working out right.
It was on some posts on Reddit.

Just take it out of the game until they get it right. The spawns are a joke, I spent 1 straight minute spawning in front of enemies and instantly dying.

I don’t even care if the maps are all Forge, as long as they’re enjoyable to play.

I saw that post, but the way Unyshek made it seem was like “don’t worry about it we’re working on it,” no specific date, no nothing. Plus these are community made maps that the community has made and tested. It just seems like they aren’t putting BTB as a priority like it should be. ALOT of people have stopped playing H5 because of various reasons like not updating or adding game types and playlists. BTB is the BACKBONE of Halo and should be treated as such. Holding out on BTB is like saying “go play another game and hopefully you’ll come back when we update the playlist or stay and play the same thing for a couple months, even though you gave us accurate feedback on making the playlist better without us using any external resources.”

You’re the creator of the Vahalla remake? If I read this right.

They definetly need to at least put in newer maps into the mix regardless if its by 343 or community-some may be unbalanced but its nice to see community works being showcased.

New maps are needed and there has to be a lot of great community made maps to add into rotation.

I would also like to see more vehicles, like the mantis and scorpion.

Maybe mixing it up a little, having Warzone Assault / Warzone maps.

(but closing off the 2 big bases and having teams spawn on opposite ends of the map - like usual btb)
