I used to truly enjoy deadlock, back at launch. Great CTF map. A lot of stalemates, but that’s every BTB CTF for Halo 5. Than the map changed COMPLETELY! New layout is garbage, games less fun. Now we’ve got Wasps! Whoever controls Wasps controls the map. Game over. Perfect example of taking something that isn’t that broken and screwing it up royaly. I love to Play Halo 5, and used to play a lot of BTB. It has been the most neglected of all game types. Maps after launch were decent at best, than went to crap town after that. So disappointed. Every time I try to play BTB now I regret it. So sad really.

Forgive me if I’m wrong but hasn’t halo always been about holding down power weapons and key points on the map? Or did that die with new gen gamers already?

Yea, now you need to spawn with Rockets and sniper or it’s completely unfair. Kidding of course. Sorta
Deadlock is probably the best example of a remade map that just plays out horribly. It’s like they put in the Wasp because hey, it’s a new REQ (at the time), let’s put it in to make it somewhat relevant!
Because it’s darn near completely useless in Firefight given how buffed the AI is.
And while you might have Rockets and Splaser on the map, it’s not guaranteed those will be for your team to use, not to mention they might not even be used on the Wasp itself. There is such thing as too many vehicles on a map.
They tried to make the maps remakes to make people excited about BTB, but it failed miserably. It perfectly shows that Halo 5’s mechanics break classic Halo maps, and that anything bigger than 4v4 just isn’t fun because of how they balanced things. There isn’t a single good BTB map in this game. They are all horrible. BR starts breaks them all. If they spawned people with AR/Pistol it would be a different story, but BR is just too good to be a starting weapon in BTB. The problem then arises that long range weapons like the DMR, BR, and Light Rifle will give the people that pick them up too much of an advantage because of how open and big the maps are, so it’s a -Yoink!- if you do, -Yoink!- if you don’t kind of thing. The direction of this game is just bad IMO. It cut a majority of the gametypes because “eSports” and removed the social aspects of the game that a majority of people enjoyed. They can’t do things like classic playlists or BTB well because they made it such a sweaty game at its heart, and I think that that is why so many people left it. People don’t want to try their hardest all time in the social playlists. That’s not fun. Ranking has its place, but it should be in the minority of playlists, not the majority.

New gen gamers wouldn’t know about that with them theirselves being new gen gamers.

Yeah I know they are more worried about how pretty there armor is over how solid the core gameplay is.
