Drop or change the power cell game mode, it's just a worse version of CTF

I dunno how you would change this to make it more fun so my feedback is lose the power cell capture game for BTB. As of right now, it’s a really, really lame version of CTF. It’s basically a waste of 10 minutes until one team spam throws all the cells over to their side and if you’re lucky they will so the game ends faster.

I really like it, but I guess our experiences have been different. In the games I’ve played, usually someone gets away with a few power cells much sooner than 10 minutes. I think it’s better on certain maps than others though. I like it much more on Fragmentation than Deadlock. The natural barriers seem to provide more cover, which I personally think benefits the game mod. Sorry your experience hasn’t been as fun. Maybe you’ll get some better matches of it. But in any case, I do hope more game lists opens up, that way no one would have to play game types they didn’t like. I think that’d be better than removing anything.

I think the concept of it is neat. Especially with the Razorback able to carry extra cells. I think it’s mostly ruined though by how they just drop all the cells in the middle of the map. One team wins the initial firefight over them, and that’s basically GG right there if they actual care to play the Objective an run them home. The cells should have started spread out. Maybe even have some of them in those “loot caves” you have to hack to get access to. As it is there isn’t much strategy to this mode. Just hope your team is better at fighting over the big pile that drops.

I think the power cells should not spawn right next to either team’s bases.
Same for the control zones.
Wins/losses feel like they are more about spawn RNG than anything else.

I don’t mind the gametype but it does need some fixes.

It’s basically neutral flag just not as fun.

Swap it out for neutral flag, random flag spawn, five caps to win and add more heavy duty vehicles.

I would like to try this mode with 3 teams and have the power cells not all spawn in one place.

The mode is kinda funky but most of the time it boils down to who can coordinate a conga line better (or which team doesn’t play just a slayer match).

Look, I like that power seed throwing mode, but being forced to encounter it instead of choosing it myself really blows the sell.

I think I just don’t understand why they need to reinvent/reshape forgotten game modes (the Reach version was never good to begin with) when there’s clearly better game modes in Halo’s past.

I mean seriously, Dominion in H4 was AMAZING and I’d much rather play assault, or some type of neutral bomb than retooled stockpile.

Maybe they could change this mode to something like a treasure hunt.
Remove the markers showing where the power cells are. Make us use the AI scan to locate the power cells and the ping system in order to communicate their location to our team.

I like it.
