Halo 5's Big Team Battle was a huge disappointment

Let’s be honest here, Big Team Battle (along with many other playlists which still aren’t in the game) should’ve been in Halo 5 at launch. Like many others, I was super hyped for this game mode when it was coming to the game via a free update.

I’m very disappointed, to say the least. The maps are absolute garbage (cough…Deadlock…cough), the spawns are downright terrible, and the whole game is unbalanced. It seems like it’s always about using long range weapons such as Snipers and BRs. Heck, I’ve even been sniper by a Spartan Laser a handful of times.

I feel like BTB in previous Halo’s was much more fun, a time where power weapons didn’t control the game. It was more about teamwork and having fun. Halo 3 is a perfect example of this, as it combines hilarity with fun and team collaboration. Now Halo 5 came along and completely diminished what made Big Team Battle so great.

Shame on you, 343. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Plain and simple.

Yep, it’s wack. I’m no Bungie fanboy, especially post H3 but their maps were generally much more versatile that 343s. I don’t think there was a game type that didn’t work on Valhallah. Rats nest was great for flag, assault, and slayer. 343 maps are either good for slayer or slayer.

you get a br at spawn, use that

Warzone basically became my de facto Big Team experience, the actual Big Team just doesn’t feel right .

It really needs more maps and vehicles in my honest opinion. Ghost, Wargoose, and Warthog are cool in all but what happened to the Scorpion, Banshee, and Mantis? I swear there used to be a Mantis on one of the Big Team Forge Maps.

Most of the big team maps were also 4v4 on past halos. Not sure why every arena map has to be so small.
