BTB...

I’m just going to say this now…

The new maps “Refresh” are absolute Garbage

Fracture is even worse with the Sword Ghosts

Recurve has Wraith’s? Really unnecessary

Unearthed is just destroyed. 2 Neutral Wasps up for grabs, once the enemy team grabs them they have Laser Control, once they have Laser Control, they also gain Sniper Control, and the center structure is just terrible with the BR Starts

Antifreeze is the same, just new look…

I have yet to play all of them, but out of all the one’s I’ve played… Dear lord.

Not really upset by this “refresh” as much as I am disappointed .

Figured Magnum starts would’ve finally made it in. But that’s obviously not going to happen.

I hate halo 5s btb so much, community maps are the worse, and I’m never touching it again… so they can do whatever they want with it…

Oh come on guys, at least give all the maps in the new rotation a try. If you don’t like the maps I challenge you as friendly competition to build a better map :wink:

Just because I don’t play forge, doesn’t mean I’m forced to like it… with that logic 99% of the gaming critics shouldn’t give a bad review because they can’t develop games, the maps are bad and 343 should stop being lazy and make their own

I have yet to play Dispelled, but from my friend that attends MatClans lobbies says it’s a good map. He also said he was really disappointed that Echoes didn’t make it in, so I’ll never get to see what that’s like.

But from what I posted above, are all the redesign’s of current maps. Thus Unearthed.

So far I’m not liking most of the BTB maps, haven’t played one yet that makes me reconsider my opinions. Plus, BTB maps aren’t really my thing in forge, I just like playing them… Well I used to anyways.

Explain

Actually, when I played Antifreeze it had many changes which include:

  • visual improvements
  • added two tunnels in the middle
  • moved incineration spawn to the top of the giant gravity canon in the center
  • changed out camo with overshield then put the overshield on incineration canons previous spawn
  • moved the forerunner snipers onto the walkway above there spawns
  • removed the man canons on home base
  • put a hydra launcher in place of the forerunner turret.I’d say these were positive changes that really made game play feel smoother and overall improved the atmosphere.

I am glad to hear your friend likes the map, I tried to make the funnest map I could and to give everyone the scorpion back :wink:

Why should there be developer maps? - Ohhh because f variarity? -No

I only played a bit, but liked what I saw so far.

I haven’t played BTB in a while. I really enjoyed it when I was playing it but anymore I’m on FF. I’ve heard there are new maps in BTB so I’ll have to check them out to have a definite opinion on them.

I completely disagree with you, this is the first time in a long time where I enjoy Halo 5s multiplayer

There ok. I don’t get why theres a building on viking on where the railgun used to be

Because 343i doesn’t understand that the maps were originally made for the magnum, not the BR. So until the magnum becomes the starting weapon, Viking will be full of random rocks and structures to counter the BR.

My friend is actually the creator of Echoes. His name is The Grim Dealer. Look in his file share if you want to try out the map. There’s still a chance they’re going to add it in. He had to make some last minute changes to it.

i love when community gets spotlight, i know shifty time, kurtiz and waldo the lemon (new zealand is a small place :wink: ) however my main point is i would like to see more dev maps than community maps.

i feel that was also the main criticism of reach, community maps supplemented content where the developer had none, whereas in h3 BTB, there was a fine balance where there was a solid roster but also community maps sprinkled in.

i feel the community maps playlist from reach was excellent as it’s a way for the community to have a showcase (it just needs a monthly rotation) and the cream of the crop is implemented into playlists, instead of having community maps be the playlist… in saying that i thoroughly enjoyed reach BTB maps and BTB.net maps so i still thoroughly enjoy the experience if it is community maps, not so much h5 though as i just hate the game.

Echoes won the Meet Your Maker contest, I already discussed it with him, my friend’s LL Kool D. You might know him as he usually helps host Matclan and BTB.net lobbies.
I hope Echoes makes it in. From what I’ve seen, it plays better than most maps.

So far not minding it. Finally finding games on BTB which makes me a really happy chap. Other than that the refresh really doesn’t bother me.

Man, I’m not a BTB player except on rare occasions, but I played some last night and had more fun than I’d ever had in H5 BTB before the refresh.

Honestly I think it’s big on 343’s part that they did it. They essentially revamped their biggest competitor to Warzone, aka req packs, because the community had been asking for it. Tells me that their listening.

Of the handful of games I played last night I had a great time.

I tried them all and I can honestly say that I dont know how you did it, but you somehow made a beautiful Halo CE style map with loads of heavy weapons and vehicles to play with and it actually works and plays really well! I hope to see more of your BTB maps sometime, I am a true BTB fanatic since halo 3. I was in the MYM contest and I heard my map barely missed the cut of the final 3 but I was so happy when I saw this masterpiece make it in and even happier when I played it! I can honestly say after alot of playtests that your map, Scavenger, and Boulevard are the cream of the crop and the most balanced maps in BTB right now.If they ever make a heavies playlist your map could be amazing for that as well! It would like to show you some of my BTB maps that ive made sometime and if you made any that are even close to the quality if Dispelled I would love to see them as well!! Keep up the great forging! ! :slight_smile:
