Does The Halo Community Make enough noise for BTB?

Do you guys and gals think that we do our part to bring up BTB and to a larger degree playlists in general that need to be added or updated (I’m looking at you FFA). Also by “noise”, I mean forum posts, reddit posts and such concerning these issues so that 343 can see them.

I don’t know, but I doubt they’ll listen to it anyway because they’d prefer us to go to Warzone to spend reqs.

I feel like Warzone likely took all of the BTB’ers…

I like WZ but why do we have to have one and not the other.

This game feels like my mom is watching me in a -Yoink!- donut shop.

I gave up on BTB about two weeks after it was launched. Its simply not the same gametype as it has been in prior games.

BTB used to be awesome… forge maps are better than nothing… but they are exactly that.

Why did they take away rank if we are still matched with it?

Is it because you feel it’s neglected by 343 from being updated or because you don’t like Halo 5 BTB overall?

I thought making noise is bad and it’s toxic? Oh? Only for things the person wants to keep?

This community (and r/halo) has the most easily triggered people I’ve ever seen. Only criticism other than things for Warzone is met with huge amounts of hostility, and from people have put not even a day into Arena.

We should keep making noise until something is changed.

True. It feels like the people who aren’t even onyx/champs write off legit issues brought up from experienced halo vets/players as “complaints” or “toxicity.” So do you think the reason why BTB isn’t more supported is because we as a community don’t bring it up on the forums, Reddit and other mediums like twitter much?

Yeah man of course. It’s been 5 months since BTB has been last updated and the last update was just putting in better textures for maps. The BTB playlist needs a complete refresh. I encourage you to post things about BTB and tell your friends and family to do the same. The more uproar, the better :slight_smile: “Halo isn’t Halo without BTB,” never forget that.

The maps play poorly with BR starts imo.

That might have been the case early on (and it did for me) but I have a lot more fun in BTB then Warzone. To answer the OP, I don’t think we really make that much “noise” about BTB but I really hope Halo 6 will put more resources into BTB as some of the most iconic maps/games have been played on bigger maps. While I enjoy Arena and think they pretty much hit it out of the park for competitive, they pretty much made BTB a second thought obviously with all the Forge maps and nothing built from the ground up.

Can’t argue with that… I’ve never been huge into BTB but it’s disappointing that they didn’t give it a more traditional treatment.

Pretty happy with the competitive 4v4 gameplay though.

Interesting analogy.

They’ve updated BTB more than any other playlist I’m pretty sure (besides Team Arena maybe).

I don’t like what 343 has done with BTB. The maps are terrible and itsnot because the are from Forge. Its because they don’t play like BTB maps. there is very little vehicle play. It’s more like the maps are just big small team maps. At least the maps I played on are not mean for vehicles. Recurve is the absolute worst map as one example.

Me too. It’s almost the same amount of people with the addition of reqs.

They should make one huge capture the flag game with like 20 people on each team.

343 doesn’t give a -Yoink- about BTB they make like 5 crappy forge maps and make the community give them the rest. BTB was on elf my favorite playlists in Halo reach, and I even loved it in H4. Now I can’t even stand to play BTB in H5 cause all 343 and Microsoft give a -Yoink- about r Warzone. I even go back to Reach sometimes just to play BTB
