CTF should be removed from Big Team Battle

Seriously. Nothing is more irritating than the game forcing you to play CTF on the BTB playlist. The games ALWAYS ends in a stalemate and then overtime which means you are forced to play a 20 minute long match where nothing happens. This needs removed already, please.

No, it doesn’t need to be removed.

It is quite honestly the most terrible version of CTF put in a Halo game, and most people play BTB to play slayer. Strongholds is bad too but playable.

Only advice would be to either play with a team which could result in less stalemates or go for the flag more and maybe you’ll get lucky in one of those flag pulls with your team helping you score it.

I don’t think that removing one of the handful of game types in a playlist because one person doesn’t like it is a wise move. CTF matches have been part of Halo since the beginning and there are victories and defeats quite often.

I despise objective games in btb as well but I don’t think they should be removed since there are those who enjoy them.

I really like having a variety of game types to play. That’s why I liked things like social skirmish, 6 vs 6 team battle, and, of course, BTB.

Granted, I like to defend the middle ground, provide overwatch for those who like to rush into the enemy base, or to kill/disrupt those with vehicles and power weapons. I suppose I am not helping those stalemates but I am pretty sure that most of the games I play involve scoring, even if it does end in a stalemate. I find that the CTF games that go to OT and have a score of 2-2 tend to be the most rewarding games Halo has to offer.

CTF in BTB is great.

If you want slayer, go play 4v4 and BR each other to your heart’s content.

No I don’t think it should be removed

I always liked CTF in BTB because it gets more exciting, but I guess that’s because it drags on from being evenly matched.

I’ve personally always liked CTF in BTB. I think it’s quite funny and can be alot more intense that the standard 4v4 in team arena

I personally like CTF in BTB, depending on the map. Certain maps will result in a stalemate more often than others, like Viking, but the ones that don’t are always good fun, such as Echoes. If you feel the match isn’t progressing, move up and be that push that your team needs. Even if it’s a simple flag pull, it’ll give people the incentive to move up after you.

CTF is a staple of BTB. It should not be removed. What should really happen is that 343i should change CTF for BTB so that it’s first to 5, and you don’t need your flag at base to capture. I’ve been saying this since BTB launched. CTF in 4v4 the way that it is, is fine because of how quickly everything moves in 4v4. In BTB however it doesn’t work, hasn’t worked, and needs to be changed.

Why would you remove the best gametype to have ever graced BTB since it’s inception? CTF is like the classic BTB gametype.

ill be honest it is not my favored game mode BUT…

I personally love ctf for BTB. Long enough to get some kills and play obj. Reminds me of the good old times playing halo as a kid

Exactly, BTB CTF is the nostalgic game mode. Brings me back to the days of CTF on Bloodgulch

I can’t recall too many times that I’ve had ties in btb: ctf. Most of the time there is a winner, and most of that time it’s me :wink:
In all seriousness though, this would not help Halo in the slightest. It’s a game type that’s been with btb forever, and removing it simply because you dislike when you occasionally get a tie is ridiculous.

If BtB was slayer only, I think the playlist pop would fall fast. The multiple game types keep it entertaining.

If we need anything for BtB it’s a new map refresh and some Forge fixes that help with Assault Spawning.

no, CTF in BTB is funny
