What are your thoughts on the new BTB maps now in the rotation? I’m still trying to get more experience on them myself, but so far I’m liking them.
Risen is the only one so far I have to say I’m iffy about. It’s such an awesome looking map, and a great representation of Halo 2’s Uplift, but I can not stand the Wasp at all. It’s probably the only factor holding the map back for me so far.
Been meaning to try them out, love some BTB.

They’ve been pretty neat so far. I remember playing Traffic Jam a while back in Team Snipers, so it’s nice seeing that map re-surface in the BTB playlist.

It’s been a while since I played BTB, so many of the maps will be a new experience for me. Hopefully I’ll enjoy them as much as you seem to enjoy them.

I’ve only played on a few so far, been stuck with the older maps most of my time searching, but so far they’ve been good. I’m sure as time goes on, I’ll find certain things to nitpick at, like any other map really.
Ancestor and Traffic Jam are my favorites, they’re a lot of fun to play. I have to give Stone and Stunt Artist some props for getting Traffic Jam up to par, I remember that map being pretty bad when they first brought it to the testing lobbies.
It’s also very nice having Big Team Assault again.
YES NEW BTB!!!
They are very good maps and I think that 343i is finally stepping it up with their matchmaking and possibly campaigns (having played HW2.)
Man, I hopped into customs to get a feel for the maps and I have mixed feelings about Traffic Jam 
Risen looks super nice tho

Traffic Jam was a little difficult for me to find my footing in at first, and can be very confusing to navigate especially after respawning, but after a few minutes I was able to get around and learn the paths that most people were taking, and I have to say I enjoy that map.

I still haven’t tried out Ancestor, but Traffic Jam is a really fun map, just a ton going on that map. I only played Traffic Jam when it was inducted into Team Snipers initially, but I remember that map was supposed to be in BTB for the last playlist refresh.
I don’t know why they removed Basin from the playlist ? It was probably my favorite BTB map. They also removed CTF on Altar not sure why.
The new maps are very nice though, they look good and seem to play pretty well. Just not sure why they needed to remove maps I would get the same maps quite often.
I’m just ecstatic that Neutral Bomb is in BTB because I think that playlist is an ideal location for that particular mode. Little by little 343i seems to be inching their way closer to the playlist breakdown I’d like to see for this game.
Why don’t they temporarily take the old maps out of rotation? Just for a week.
i played 7 games and only got to play 2 of those games on the new maps. I JUST want to experience the new maps. But there are too many match makes that include the older maps

Eh, Basin was one of my not so favorite maps honestly. If people weren’t just hiding in the middle building the entire game, they were just camping the sniper towers until the game’s end. Although, that map was a blast to use the Gungoose on.
As for Altar CTF, I feel alot of it has to do with people not actually playing the objective. Most matches I’ve played on that map, one team just tries to steam roll the other into a spawn trap for 15 minutes using the Banshee and Sniper.

I wouldn’t even say take them out, just make them less common for a week at least. I’ve only been able to play on a few new maps so far, but I’ve played Strongholds on Entombed about 4 times since this refresh. The new maps definitely aren’t showing up as frequently as I’d like.
Man. I haven’t been able to jump on this yet! I look forward to playing soon.

Your breakdown was actually pretty good, but I expect a few things you threw down to show up in Halo 6 than 5, unfortunately, like Dominion or Invasion.
Aside from WyvernZu’s Invasion she’s working on, which hopefully gets implemented into Matchmaking.

Give it a go! You may have to play alot of the old maps before you start seeing any of the new ones though.
Uuv, I miss playing with some of you Winter Contingent folks! If any of y’all are on during CST, I’d love to play.
