Last Sunday(yesterday) I was doing Arena and i got to a map that was huge and had a mongose in it, My first thought was This is 2 big for 4v4 i forgot what the map is called i dont pay close attention to the map names but some of them are big perfect for a 8v8. They should make a 8v8 Arena playlist
I’d be all for a BTB.net Arena Playlist, but I hardly doubt that there would be a population to support it especially considering there’s already two other 8v8 playlists.
Look at the population of Arena. Then consider that 8v8 would need more players to match skill and connection matches as well as 4v4 with the tighter restrictions. Then realise that BTB has less players than Team Slayer.
Then tell me a compelling reason why there would be a BTB Arena.

I have to agree with RC. the idea is sound, but its just not practical.

I would love an 8v8 Ranked playlist.
But it would only work as a double xp / jackpot credit playlist .
But I would love to see it happen …
The Arena is already infamous for low population and resetting progress. It simply does not have the population to support BTB.
A good idea for a bad/dead playlist. It’s a shame to because i am for ranked gametypes (including BTB)

This. Stick a 100k jackpot on it and it would do great.

I don’t think it’s a good idea to just subsidize people with credits to play something unpopular as much as we are. We should work on improvements instead. At this late in Reach’s life span, people will stop caring about credits.
I’m only a hero and I’ve got all the armor I want.
The only thing we should subsidize a lot is Squad DLC, and that’s mainly to encourage people to get the maps so not only it get’s a higher population, but also the maps may appear more outside of the playlist.
Instead of making another separate Arena playlist, why not just give already existing playlists the Arena ranking system? This way, we can have some ranked playlists and some social playlists.
For now, just try this on a few playlists:
Super Slayer
Rumble Pit
Team Objective
Team Doubles
Big Team Battle
If it goes well, then they can apply this to more playlists.

Perhaps tryout Super Slayer and BTB and turn the current Arena into a slayer pro playlist. Its hard to foresee how the population will settle with so many options, but I agree, bring the ranking to the playlist, not the playtype to a singular ranking playlist.
