… BTB maps. I think Halo 5 was a huge step in the right direction by 343. They had no load outs, even starts to matches and added more competition into the game. Warzone was also a really good addition to halo. But I feel they took a step back in BTB. This was probably halo 4s best aspect. It was pretty fun and hectic and had some really cool and well made maps. Halo 5s BTB is unfortunately not as good. The maps play decently but they look really poor. They are all forged which I think results in the large lack of texture and realism to the maps. Just look at the difference between longbow and recurve. So my question is 343, why the step back? Anyway do you agree? Disagree?
I agree. Since the scorpion can’t even be placed and balanced into a single btb map, while h4 screamed tanks in btb heavies.
I actually enjoyed halo 4 BTB the most since halo 2. Halo 4 BTB was a ton of fun. Halo 5 BTB is atrocious.
Except story.
Totally agree. BTB was always my go-to in Halo 4. In Halo 5 though I avoid it like the plague, I’ll even take team arena over it.

True I was focusing in the mulit player aspect though. However I did enjoy playing halo 5s campaign more, but yea halo 4 did have a better story.
I think the aiming system, gametypes and customisation system have took huge steps back too.

Exactly, story and BTG is really bad in Halo 5.

I’m with u , I spent 2 years on H4 BTB , but now with H5 … really awful
OP must not have played the Campaign…
It’s always interesting, seeing so many different opinions about this game.
Halo 4s campaign was better, plus I never want to see exile again.
I totally agree. Anyone remember Exile? complex? longbow? They were pretty big and great! That’s probably the one thing I miss from Halo 4 was the bigger BTB maps.

Better? playing nothing but forge maps…not better.
No split-screen, no off-line mode for multiplayer or lan support…not better.
Loadout’s still exist in Warzone…it’s ok.
No even starts for Warzone, Halo 5’s forge is the worst so far.
Oddly the only improvement was the ability to climb but in general Halo 5 is worse than Halo 4 in most ways.
If they introduced some properly designed BTB maps and fleshed out the BTB experience as a core pillar of the multiplayer experience, I think the suite would be really great.
Halo has always done a great job of treating Arena, Big Team, Invasion and social/fun type game modes with equal care. not so much in Halo 5 but they have been gradually rectifying it.
It’s because if BTB was good then 343 thinks nobody would play warZone and they would lose money. As of right now u have to play warZone for some big team games.
H5 maps are bad… especially BTB
Problem was though Halo 4 was already a few steps back to begin with and its not like they achieved stuff thats better or even presented the whole package any better as a whole for Halo 5.

Seconded, or perhaps thirded. Btb Heavies on Halo 4 was fun, on 5? Much less so.
Yeah I was thinking about tanks the other day when I was playing btb. Also I saw that on a preview video, the maps are made by “expert forgers” aka people who can slot boards into place. From the basic layout to the awful colour scheme these btb maps are no way as good as they should be.
