No Vehicles in Big Team Battle

Big team battle does not feel like true big team battle right now. Having the heavy vehicles like the scorpion and the wraith spawn in at the last 30 seconds of the game is really a strange choice. It doesn’t make them feel more impactful 343, it makes them feel less impactful when you never see them and when there’s not enough time do anything with them when you do. Add a scorpion or wraith that spawns at each teams bases like before and this would probably be my favorite BTB ever, but right now it’s not exciting enough to hold my attention. Please, please, please…the heavy vehicles need to make a return. BTB slayer should also have a greater than 100 kill cap in my opinion.

My friends and I have the same thought, but we had an idea. First 100 as it is now, but bring the score to 150 or 200. From 100 onward, increase heavy vehicle delivery two-fold for absolute big team battle madness for the second half.

I’d just like more consistancy with them. Some matches they show up others they don’t??

Infinite BTB makes me miss maps like Valhalla.

Yeah, not a fan of the vehicle situation in BTB at all, between the slow respawns for standard vehicles, the once per match respawns for flying vehicles and tanks, several vehicles that feel weak currently, how easy it is to disable them with Dynamo grenades and how long they are disabled for, the spawn points for power vehicles being close enough to middle for enemy team to steal them, and more issues besides. It’s like you spend all match waiting to get in a banshee or wasp only to immediately get shock rifle disabled or grapplejacked out of it after you get just a few kills.

Exactly. Thank you for bringing more attention to this issue. 343 said they wanted powerful vehicles to spawn at the end of matches in order to make it a big moment when one shows up, but it’s clearly not, and it takes a lot of the fun out of the rest of the match too.

If they insist on keeping vehicle spawning the way it is in regular BTB, then they absolutely need to add a BTB Heavies mode where all vehicles spawn at the start of the match on each team’s base.

Whats even funnier is that I had a BTB strongholds where we rapidly capped the first 2 waves of capture points and on the third point we capped all but the one that was on their side of the map. CONVENIENTLY, a scorpion tank spawned on OUR side of the map as I respawned and ONLY ours and we just stomped them while they were down and got the fastest win I have ever seen in a BTB. This system doesn’t even work.
