HEAVIES 6v6?

Why 6v6? Wouldn’t 8v8 (BTB) be better? I don’t understand this decision.

Given that there’s lots of cover, lots of large vehicles, and lots of explosive weapons, 16 players may be a bit too crowded.

Fair point. If the BTB maps were as large as other Halo games maybe that would have made a better case for 8v8.
