According to the Game Guide, Complex was already supposed to be in the Big Team Playlist. I know the guide has some mistakes, but what if this isn’t a typo? If Complex was already going to be in Big Team Slayer, why didn’t they put it in the playlist at the start? I don’t mean any offense or criticism to 343i, just saying
It’s in Big Team Slayer Pro and it has no radars and filled with ghosts. They can at least give us plasmas since there are a bunch of ghosts sneaking up on us.

Agreed. You don’t have anything you can really use on them.
Exile is a nightmare if the other team has the Banshee and the pilot is any good. No plasma pistols and no plasma grenades makes it almost impossible to take it down unless your team is smart enough to concentrate fire on it, which mine wasn’t earlier today.

That’s so dumb. You have to deal with a bunch of DMR campers and a banshee bombing you. There should not be any vehicles in any pro gametypes.

I could live with that. Trying to take down vehicles with frag grenades and loadout weapons is painful.

Be hilarious if you can take out a banshee with a frag.

I can’t even take one out with a sticky grenade if it’s healthy, but unskilled pilots sometimes run them in to corners where a frag might finish one off. I haven’t had much luck taking out any vehicles with frags.

BTB is and always will be the home for vehicular gameplay.
If there is demand for vehicle free large team slayer it belongs in a different playlist.

Well this is a bit ironic, as a lot of the main complaints of the BTB list in Halo 4 involved the plasma nades (with their partner the plasma pistol), but granted that was because of them being available at spawn due to personal loadouts.
[/li]- Community complains that personal loadouts ruin BTB.
- 343 removes personal loadouts.
- Community complains that vehicles are too powerful without counter measures.
- 343 considers removing vehicles, but realizes that they’re too important in BTB.
Therefore, they instead add ordnance weapons and grenades on BTB maps for pickup. - Community is happy. 343 is happy.
Ordnance Weapons and Grenades on BTB maps as pickups?
I like the sound of that.

Only if the Grenades are placed near the Spawn in enough abundance that you can find one when you need it.

Because 343 probably realised they had so few 4v4 maps and then added all these 6v6 maps for some reason.
