Are antifreeze and burial mounds forge maps?
Burial Mounds is a forge remake, i know it for sure. Antifreeze, i don’t know. If it’s a remake of a previous map, then yes.

Man, are literally all the BTB maps going to be forge? This isn’t good.
Kinda sounds like they are…Cartographer means map maker, right?
I already don’t play BTB in this game (really, really sad since that’s all I do in halo) and these additional forge maps aren’t going to incentivize me to try again.

Well, this update is mostly centered around forge, so it’s normal that the maps introduced are forged.
At some point they’ll add new maps for BTB that are not forged.

You sure they will? It seems it’s becoming a trend to release all the BTB maps as forge.
At some point, if they want to keep the game running and have free content each month, they have to create new BTB maps

I thought for sure somewhere 343 said ALL BTB maps would be made in Forge. So I think the answer is yes.

You serious? This is terrible. People want real maps and they’re releasing literally none? A Halo w/o real BTB maps is a wasted Halo.
I don’t get the whole backlash against forge maps. I mean halo 5’s forge is really good, and it makes maps look more like dev maps.
Besides, the forge maps are probably better then anything 343i can make.

To quote myself from another forum: “At release 15 maps were included. 7 of these were forge maps and 2 were remixes of another 2 (Eden~Empire, Truth~Regret). That puts the number of original, developer made maps at 5 for the Arena playlist. Since then, they have released 3 more forge maps and are releasing another remix map and 2 forge maps for next week’s update. Yes, if Warzone was included there would be a few more, but I only see Warzone as a tool to sell REQ packs. Comparatively, Halo: CE shipped with 13, Halo 2 with 12, and Halo 3 with 11 all original maps.” I see this as a problem and it’s what makes the game feel so repetitive as it stands.
Edit: Just realized that Truth would be considered a Midship remake so therefore couldn’t count as an original map. Edited the total to reflect that.

Have you ever tried to drive a warthog on the Standoff inspired map? It is equivalent to drive a Toyota prius down a dried up river bed that has stones all over the place and the car is bouncing all over the place. Where the hills meet the level ground is so steep that the hog does not go up them smoothly.
The hills in the original Standoff map are not nearly as steep and there is a smooth transition from level ground to Hill. Making it possible to control the vehicles. So in essence the forge maps are garbage for btb.

Pretty sure real, professional BTB maps would be much better than forge creations. H5 having good forge doesn’t change that. You can tell the maps are forge, and since the canvas’s are reused over and over, the design will get repetitive quick. Real BTB maps seriously need to come out.

yep, this game gets more and more disappointing

antifreeze is a remake of sidewinder from halo 3 which btw was an awesome map

I think a petition should be made for 343 to make professional BTB maps at this point.

That’s cool but I think it’s time for new, real, BTB maps. Enough forge.

I think for maps, the content releases should include: 1 new Warzone map, 1 new Area map (that isn’t a remix), and 2 non-forge BTB maps.
I have played all the Halo 5 BTB maps and the one thing I can say about them is that they are “forged” enough that they are very different from the originals. I agree though that it will be nice to get some unique maps for BTB.

That map is a beautiful remake. The hog takes a lot more skill to drive now, you actually have to chose your routes and watch the ground carefully instead of just flying over everything. Just like everything in this game, it takes more skill, so everybody whines that they aren’t a boss like before. smh
