Ok, so a lot of points have been raised about the lack of developer made maps for BTB. As 343 have made efforts to develop specific maps for WZ Assault, a playlist with a limited population (I have personally not found a single game in the past couple of months), I wonder how you feel about converting (some of) the existing assault maps into BTB maps? We´d get developer made maps in BTB and the maps would not have to be made from scratch.
I prefer BTB over WZ any day (less random mayhem) and it seems like resources already spent on the WZ assault playlist are somewhat wasted with what seems to be a limited population playing it (?) and could be put to more use if expanding the playlists they are used in. Adjustments need to be made of course.
Then all the BTB maps would have a similar feel IMO.

I meant that those deemed suitable for converting into BTB maps could be added to the playlist, not so much replace forged maps entirely.
They could remix or chop the Warzone maps up for BTB, since the outline is already there.

If that’s doable then sure. But in a way that is what they did with the assault maps. Anyways, reusing warzone(assault) maps for BTB would give us developer made maps with less efforts than starting from scratch. And of course they could redo old BTB maps from previous titles but I assume that would need more work.

It would probably be tough to conplete this request though as most the 343 is probably working on Halo 6. I think that’s why you’re seeing a lot of these community built maps.
I’ve been asking for that since launch. Minor tweaks, some forging and dev remixes could allow the Warzone maps to become BTB maps. As good as Forge is, the fact that 343i leaves BTB to the community is disappointing and honestly a bit lazy.

I am unsure of what the split is between resources are when it comes to supporting Halo 5 versus developing the next game. And while you certainly have a valid point Halo 5 still has to live for a long time until the next game is out. The better the support is for an existing game, the more confident the fanbase are that there will be similar or better support in the next title. It´s not like support for MCC was quite up to the expectations of the community and if they end up leaving Halo 5 BTB like a dry riverbed a year after launch its not gonna go down well with the fans as its a really popular playlist in the Halo franchise.

Agree.
