Do you remember playing reach and that version of multi-team. It truly was chaos and most importantly it was on 4v4 team slayer maps or FFA maps.
now its on BTB maps which i think doesn’t uphold truly how multi-team is supposed to play. Its anything but chaotic and quite frankly the poorest way to implement this game mode. Do you agree I remember it being alot more fun especially with king of the hill matches, oddball and especially head hunter. Now, like I said its disappointing and boring.
a good start in right direction would be put the playlist on arena 4v4 maps.
Only managed one game of H5 multi-team so far, but it didn’t really grab me. Don’t like the BTB map usage. I’d rather the game drop to 4 or 5 teams of 2 and use the Arena maps. Or stick with 4x3 but only use the larger Arena maps (Torque, Fathom/Riptide, Regret).
I agree with you. Multi Team was one of the best game modes in Reach and I have many memories of the fun times. BTB maps really do offset the flow that this mode used to have. I understand that there’s also arena maps but I feel like Multi Teams should be strictly small-medium maps.

If the maps were more varied in size and a bit bigger, then I would agree with you. But the fact that the maps are so small here would make them too choatic with 12 players in one match. Torque is at least big enough for some breathing room. Others would be decent too.
There was also quite a few BTB maps in multi-team, IIRC. There should be more gametypes in there, IMO. Adding oddball would do a lot to change up the pace. But it won’t truly be a proper multi-team without Rocket Race. (And that requires… Well, Race)

damn yeah how could I forget about rocket/hog race. Ohhhh good times.
I think that’s because the maps
BTB are just too big for 12 players, even with the Spartan Abilities
In my opinion there should be Forge Remakes created by the Community of some maps like The Pit, Haven, Hang Em High, Sword Base…

Map size and gametypes are a pretty hard constraint on multi-team at the moment. Halo 5 doesn’t have as many squad battle type medium size maps (funny considering the outcries spring detractors had about the mechanic’s effect on map size).
Multi-Team was one of my favorite playlists back in the day. Crazy King on Epitaph? Used to rack up 70-80 kills a few times on that combination.

That is the one thing about Reach that I genuinely miss more than others. Which is why I’m hoping Race is next after Infection.
It was so utterly satisfying killing a entire hog in a passenger seat when they were right on top of the checkpoint.
all I’m saying is halo 5 smokes halo 4 in so many ways. We just need to better the playlist by being vocal and asking for what I know would do that playlist some justification.

They can always look towards the community for mid-size maps, if it’s that constraining.
There are quite a few good Forge maps and remakes spread around that would be excellent in multi-team, as well.
