So real quick has anyone noticed how unbalanced BTB is example every time I play I’m put on a team that that has no idea of the concept of team work or I’ll join matches where the enemy team has a 30 point lead. That and it doesn’t feel like big team battle anymore everything feels like a 4V4 slayer map. Where are the epic banshee fights and tanks and warthogs on open land? Those where the good old days.
The whole game is unbalanced.
It really is I just started another BTB match and it was a strongholds match and the enemy team already 180 points to zero it’s getting really annoying at this point. Like why even try and play big team anymore

Let me re-post something I said in a different thread:
> I’ve noticed this too. My guess is that 343 did this to Halo 5’s BTB and gave it tiny cramped maps like Antifreeze because they wanted all of the chaotic vehicle action, which is what made BTB Heavies so popular, to take place in their new Warzone mode. And since they make microtransaction money from Warzone, they probably didn’t want BTB Heavies taking away from its population. Just another reason why I’m really hoping the req system doesn’t return in Halo 6.
Not surprised. This game has major a problem with team balancing in all team-based playlist.
Hopefully they’re working on the problem to improve team balancing.
Most of the stuff around team balancing has been covered by Dr. Menke in the matchmaking feedback threads in the matchmaking forums. If you haven’t already, feel free to have a read over them including the archives.
I play mostly BTB when I play arena. It can definitely be painful at times, but for the most part I’ve felt it goes about 50/50 and that ‘usually’ the games are decently balanced.
I blame how OP the battle rifle and DMR really any precision weapon is broken. Nobody uses the assault rifle anymore and if you do then you will die. I miss the reach balance.
BtB has been better lately atleast IMO.
If you’re a solo player and search focused, I find I get other solo players. When my team of 8 searches focused, we get a team of 8. Matchmaking has been taking longer, but IMO the games have been better.
It’s far from perfect…expecially if we’re running as a team of 7 and we match a team of 8. I wish more time would be taken to find the 1 random whose level is close to the teams being matched, but it’s a lot better than it used to be
Now, I would really really love some dev made BtB maps. Forge is awesome, but I find the forge maps are easier to break from a gameplay perspective. There are also random spots where the geometry doesn’t line up right…There are two spots on viking where if you drive a hog down a certain path, you’ll hit an invisible wall.
While I have just started in BTB, (solo player), I’ve grown to love most of the maps, but yeah I DO see the balancing issues that need some looking at.
Maybe you’re just getting unlucky. I play it everyday and it’s usually a mix of good, bad and even teams.
Blame the stupid BR and their decision to make it the loadout weapon
I don’t mind the BR as a starting weapon it just seems like a totally different game when it comes to BTB. I liked halo reach and halo 3s BTB Halo 4s BTB was even more fun and vehicle friendly than this. I could deal with the bad teammates if the there were more vehicles considering that is what BTB has always been about. Also, I believe there should be two BTB playlist slayer objective and slayer that would be nice as to separate people who like objective based games from people who like to play slayer. The reason i say this is it seems there are always people who care more about kills then getting the objective done on BTB.
Btb’s always been all over the place. 1 time I stole a warthog in a turret, the enemy drove me around to kill his team mates but yes BTB is unbalanced just like Warzone due to the vehicle combat being a mess like them being fragile in modern Halo games plus all the BTB maps are way too small for what is supposed to be BTB, even Warzone maps kind of feel too small on certain maps.
Btb in halo 5 has never really felt like btb to me. It’s still missing core game types like 1 flag ctf, 1 bomb assault, neutral bomb assault, koth, the list goes on. The fact that all of the maps are forged and a lot of them aren’t that good maps in my opinion (Especially Boulevard man that map is terrible). Also most people do not play as a team and that’s makes most matches even more frustrating.
Idk I think it’s pretty clear that 343 believed that warzone would be the new btb but it’s good that they realized how important it is to halo so we shouldn’t have to worry about this in the future.

II agree the maps, for the most part are garbage. I really hope in Halo 6 they go back to the roots of Halo. The classics had a perfect formula and as the saying goes if it’s not broken don’t fix it,

Agreed, I’m getting tired of seeing nothing but forge maps. It’s strange how we have all these Warzone maps, yet there not re-used for game modes like BTB but yep I hope H6 goes back to their roots.

I believe 343 said that from now on there will be developer made btb maps at launch so that’s good to hear. Also I 100% percent agree halo should go back to the classic style of gameplay that’s when btb was at its best. If it’s not broken don’t fix it

Like I said in my last post I’m pretty sure 343 said that we’re getting dev made btb maps at launch for future halos.I love forge maps and all but they can’t be ALL of the maps in btb we need so dev maps as well.
