I don’t know what it is with these new BTB maps, but their creators feel like every damn map needs to have SPNKrs and Halo 2 BRs. Give it up already with this novelty. It’s saturating matchmaking to no end.
I get it, “muh nostalgia”, but can we please let Halo 5 have its own identity so we might reminisce about it somewhere down the road? I mean for Christ’s sake the SPNKr appears more often than the actual new Halo 5 rocket launcher. They built this brand new rocket launcher and it barely gets any screen time because they added in the old one for nostalgia purposes, but we didn’t even miss it yet because it was only gone for like a month!
Maybe they could randomize the power weapon spawns. As in, if the rocket launcher spawns here there’s a 50% chance you’ll get a SPNKr and a 50% you’ll get the new Halo 5 variant.
The commendation may have something to do with it. Personally idc if it is a spnkr or not but rocket was one of my first weapon commendations completed (from the rockets weekend playlist) and spnkr is is my final one other than the laser.
i had to use many reqs to get it and played in many team arenas where I was pissed (all my weapon commendations are done so I wish it was a spnkr in eden, coliseum). It’s not even in fiesta which was the whole reason I tried fiesta.

Too much work for 343i probably… Seeing that they have not even fixed some bugs that have been around since launch.

As if I only have the choice to complain about one thing and it must be the highest on my list?
And I know they are community-made maps. That’s why I said “their creators” in my first post. But 343 is doing it as well. For instance, the Guillotine update has a SPNKr and H2 BR, and Deadlock has a H2 BR.
Dude… you do realize the btb remakes are inspired from the original maps so of course they should have the original weapons… besides the H2 BR is better than the H5 BR.

They added the classic rockets because of community outcry, it would make sense that the community would in large part use it when they have the chance. Altar is awesome by the way.
To me the maps have to have the older weapons. If some one remakes a HCE map it should be required to put the HCE pistol on the map… at least in two locations.

The Halo 2 and the halo 5 battle rifle are, in fact, nearly identical in kill times, rate of fire, and reload speed.

I don’t know why you mentioned reload speed when it’s the one thing between them that’s actually different.

But the H2 BR sounds like a kick yoink rifle… the H5 BR sounds like a nail gun practically.

It does has higher magnetism, though…which is bad enough. Halo 5’s sandbox is designed to use the default BR, with default reticle and magnetism. It should probably be kept that way.
Also, the Halo CE Magnum is a power weapon. It should be treated as such.
Other than the Spnkr replacing the default launcher (this one I don’t really mind), I agree with OP.

Hi, creator of Viking here. I think vehicles ruin legitimate halo gameplay so I sure as hell wasn’t going to put a ton of vehicles all over my map. So I guess you can thank me for that. CTF can be slow and I believe magnum starts and less brs on the map will fix that.
OP: The halo 2 br is way more enjoyable than the halo 5 br so that’s why I want it on the maps. Spnkr rocket is a nicer model and it’s familiar, people like familiarity. If you don’t want to use these weapons then you’re more than welcome to sit out. You spawn with the halo 5 weapons and they’re more than usable.
If the map is a remake to an original map then it would be fair for the people to put in the H2 BR and SPNKr. It’s the classic remakes that don’t have those weapons that you should care more about.

Odd to see a vehicle hater remake Valhalla of all maps.
And that’s such a backwards view of the gameplay. Big team gameplay is its own legitimate form of Halo gameplay and it revolves around an infantry-vehicle-antivehicle triangle of balance. Vehicles don’t “ruin” anything about it, they’re a part of it.
