They both are terrible but it seems like there is a shift in BTB farming especially with the CTF gametype. The most dramatic map I have seen this on so far is Altar. They get the everlasting Banshee and simply camp the rest of the team on the edge of that mid-section of the altar and pop anyone that peaks out of the exits. At least with Warzone a person can customize their weapons and/or delay their spawn.
I think it’s worse on antifreeze, since they will find you no matter what lol. Generally I just hate h5 btb ctf… 9 out of 10 times the match will last all 18 minutes and it gives me only 3k exp, that’s just unfair when u compare it to wz.
I have noticed that BTB farming is becoming more of a trend now, maybe even more so than warzone farming. It can be rough
its because the search parameters are terrible if your solo or playing with a few friends. the game will find the quickest match and put u with full teams
I don’t think it’s a problem. Regarding BTB. If the match is CTF and you’re down two flag caps to zero, you can still catch up given the amount of time left; no matter if the opposite team is just slaying. I was in a match like that once and came back and won. It was in crunch time, but we had to slay more than play the objective. Plus the game isn’t over if the score limit is reached or the timer has ceased. Both requirements are a valid formality on how to play the game. Some people like how the flow of the match is going, and instead of ending it so early, they choose to prolong it. I have no issue with that. Especially if you can get a groove going. It’s the name of the game anyway; kill or be killed.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen actual farming taking place in BTB. With how fast the flag resets in CTF, it’s difficult to go in and pull flags anyway so high kill counts in wins are almost a necessity.
In Halo 5, I’d definitely say it was more prevalent in Warzone when Achilles first became a thing. Haven’t seen it much since.
I myself have never noticed it, but I’ve hated ctf in any playlist in h5, mainly because all the extra mobility makes flag running so quick that usually the winning team wins by a landslide. If you want something truly horrid ( even more than btb and warzone already are) then play warzone turbo and just wait for the enemy to spawn kill you with mantis and tanks, not fun.

It doesn’t happen that often, but you can usually tell when they’re doing it. They’ll cap a flag quickly in the beginning of the game and then they won’t score again until around a minute or less remaining. In-between that time, they’ll be racking up kills and/or spawn camping you with numerous opportunities to score the remaining flags, but they won’t do it.

I am guessing you haven’t been on the other side of this yet. Yet is the key word. If they have our teams 3rd Flag basically right next to their base and we do not have their flag they are clearly farming kills. Here is a link of the latest farm. Granted I was going solo so I guess shame on me but it’s hard to party up that late at night on a weekday.
Altar_BTB_FarmingSo in other words they are not 2-0 in a competitive match. They were 2-0 with 7 of 8 Onyx players owning the planet and could cap the 3rd flag literally anytime they wanted. But they prolonged for the farm. They knew what they were doing as none of us ever spawned behind their team.
This is one reason why I wish there would be btb slayer and btb objective.

Yeah although I would probably still fall for the trap. Some BTB games are still fun with CTF and Strongholds when it’s a competitive match with both teams high effort.
one has a clock till the match ends.
the other ends when they decide it ends.
A 12 min CTF match is now farming? smfh

If flag 3 is right next to their flag at min 4 and they tack on another 8.5 min for kill farm… yes. So you want me to buy them flowers and candy for not dragging it out in full?
Ahh, yes. I’d say its worst on btb, simply because it counts toward your arena stats. I love btb nonetheless but the farming can be annoying.
