Help Design a new BTB for MM (Wishlist Thread)

Games Halo 5: Guardians
1

Long time forger here, I’ve been around since Halo 3, had one map in Halo 4 MM (Opticon) and will soon have one in H5 MM ( Google Port 66 Vetoed)

I’m going to be starting a new BTB map that WILL make it into the MM rotation as I strive to go above and beyond what’s currently in place and I would like the forums help with the entire process and actually involve the community.

Post here for things you would like to see out of a BTB Map. This can include 1]Style (Asym, Sym, Inverse Sym)
2]Theme
3]Size
4]Canvases
5]Weapon/Vehicles
Etc etc.

Anything that’s on your minds I’d love to hear!

Once I gather information and begin the build I will update the thread and personally message those whose ideas were useful!

Waterworks… Best btb map ever made. Heck just make a copy of it essentially.

Ill second this

No air vehicles. I’m tired of having Banshees and Wasps on every map. They’re not fun to fight against, and kill map flow IMO.

Zanzibar/Last Resort. One of the best maps…

EDIT:

  1. Asym.
    2.Forerunner or Old Factory
    3.Medium?
    4.Any would work.
    5.Up to you, but I think adding a few of the weapons from Halo 5 (Light Rifle, Hydra, Plasma Caster) would be cool. Considering it’s an old map with new weapons and mechanics.

Thanks for doing this wishlist as well and congrats on the promotion!

  1. An asymmetrical map would be cool.

  2. Not really sure for a theme, but something Covenant would be interesting.

  3. A decently sized map similar to Dispelled for example.

  4. Not familiar enough with the canvases, but something other than barren desert.

  5. I’d like more neutral vehicles and weapons, but I’d like a decent amount of counters for them. No Gauss Hog or Wasp. Maybe a Banshee, but I’m leaning towards no. Surprise us with a Warzone weapon.

I was thinking the same thing. I feel like I would enjoy BTB so much more if there were no air vehicles.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but was Waterworks the underground map in Halo 2 that had the stalactites that you should shoot down from the ceiling?

Yes, that’s Waterworks.

Aye I remembered. I don’t remember the map itself too too well, but I think i have some fond memories of it.

Something themed like the H2 level Turf. I would like a central courtyard area to be a main focus battleground. And I would like a light rifle for each team near some sort of tower or high walkway.

Seeing alot of requests for waterworks, this is def a possibility and although I was hoping to do an original, I too am a fan of waterworks and wouldn’t mind a remake.

I’m also getting​ a very anti wasp vibe from many of these posts. Mind explaining what exactly bugs everyone about them? I have a sided shield mechanism that only allows each team to access there own wasp and in testing this proved better then just one wasp, or two any access wasp as it only allowed one team to control one wasp at any given time. This meant that they were engaged with each other rather than infantry for the majority of the match. Would this be worth trying or is the consensus NO Ariel vehicles a all?

I third this.

If you’re going to have aerial vehicles you need to have a strong counter to them. They wasp is in general annoying and the Banshee’s ability to very quickly barrel roll makes it very irritating. Personally I’d be interested to see a map that has a big focus on using vehicles for transport. Mongooses (mongeese?) are worthless on their own. Maybe a map that has small bases smattered throughout a large area where mongooses are a viable option to get to bases quickly and safely? I would also be interested to see a map with a huge ravine in the middle. Have some clamberable surfaces to scale the walls that lead to power weapons. In general make a map that makes unconventional things conventional.

The problem with wasp is in BTB maps with the wasp usually don’t have good anti air weapons. Some say yeah use the wart hog but no one uses vehicles. If wasp are on the maps there should be at least one Spartan laser or rocket launcher that can lock on to air targets or how about the wicked grasp? Water works should have an aerial vehicle of some type. How about a phaeton? It’s time a phaeton show up in BTB.

How bout a map that’s based on the interior of a UNSC ship? It would be nice to walk through some of the launch bays and storage rooms and stuff. Essentially imagine a version of the Halo Reach map Anchor 9 scaled up and spaced out to meet BTB standards, with various weapons spaced out in “experimentation rooms” or something.

Or Waterworks. That’s fine too, though I would’ve through someone had made it by now.

Ok imagine this giant gulch that was hemorrhaging with blood.

If you know what I mean

I love all types of BTB maps. However, I completely agree with this point! Air vehicles ruin H5 BTB IMO.

Containment from H2 with no banshee. A working gate would be great too…

Tank + Hog + Ghost
Maybe add some extra cover if they insist on BR starts being standard.
