I’ve been keeping track of what games are played in BTB and within the last 15 games i’ve played of BTB 8 are strong hold 6 are slayer and 1 is CTF. I absolutly hate strong hold, it’s the same exact thing as warzone, is anyone else getting sick of it as well and would much rather play slayer or CTF, strong hold is too reliant on team and if i wanted to play it i would just go to warzone,Anyone else getting more strongholds than the other two?
No, I’m not sick of Strongholds, but I can tell that it would be boring to play it for too many games in a row.
Nope I am enjoying the game types so far.
EDIT: I do get multiple games in repeat but I don’t mind since they are mostly enjoyable. P.S. I love CTF on basin haha.
Yup, I got sick of it two months ago. All I ever got while playing Arena was Strongholds, so I started avoiding any playlists with that game mode.
Now add one more of warzone, i mean “stronghold” to that list, to me it’s getting out of hand of how many strongholds are being played
I REALLY don’t like Strongholds to be honest. The whole, “You NEED to have more than one base captured to score points,” thing is extremely frustrating. Probably one of the worst objective gametypes I’ve ever played in Halo.

Half your team on defense, half on offense. Easiest way to hold and maintain 2 points.

But when you play by yourself it’s way too hard to rely on your team
I really like Strongholds. It is one of the easiest game types to win in my opinion. Especially if you aren’t completely communicating with your team. For some reason when I play CTF with randoms it is always a disaster. Everyone is busy fighting but no one will go to get the flag, or if you go alone they have too many people there and no one at your base, so they easily grab yours while all your team is just running around trying to get kills. But on Strongholds people generally just end up running to the same places together and getting them.
I never liked 3 plots in any of the older games… apparently now its called strongholds. “new” gametype. lol
I really like Strongholds, but some of the BTB maps really break the gametype. Between spawn flips (Deadlock comes to mind), some poor stronghold locations (Tower on Basin and Recurve), and the occasional unbalanced map (Red spawn on Guillotine), the gametype really gets victimized by some map issues.
It’s great in Arena, especially asymmetrical maps, and I love the twist on old territories. But the maps need some attention for this gametype in BTB.

Battle awareness. Watch to see what your team is doing and fill the holes on what they are not doing.
Example: Randoms pushing other bases? Stay on defense.
Radoms not being aggressive? Then push enemy points.
YES! its boring when you win and annoying when you lose.
you know its going to be a long boring game when your team doesn’t capture their base and don’t put an effort to capture mid.
King of the hill is much better and fun.

I actually like it this way it promotes map control and team awareness more.
Watching a lot of the pro they rotate on each stronghold (except the rig as br base is death)
So if you hold blue base and pit and you killed enemies and know they will spawn blue you rotate an take red base as they will more than likely spawn and take it.
The one thing I like about the Gametype is the Amazing Comebacks
I’ve been sick of Strongholds since day one. One of the worst gametypes ever introduced into the series. The scoring system makes it almost impossible to comeback. What was wrong with Three Plots? It was the exact same game for the most part, but the scoring system allowed for people to actually comeback. Every game is a blowout. The amount of times that I’ve won or lost a game 100-0 or 150-0 is stupid.

That doesn’t make any sense at all. Because the team with only one cap doesn’t score any points, it’s easier to make a comeback. In Strongholds, you can completely halt an opponent’s progress even with them holding a zone. In Three Plots, after a certain advantage a team only needs to sit on a single zone to win the rest of the way.
Holy Crap I am sick of it.
Strongholds is one of my favorites.
The only thing I don’t like about strongholds, is that winning a game of it in Big Team Battle doesn’t count towards the “stronghold victory” commendation. Oh, and the fact it doesn’t have its own playlist.
