Just curious if anyone else feels that the removal of vehicles on Altar has made the map more of a boring grind.
Maybe to balanced it more?

I haven’t played it recently, what was removed?
I played it recently and it still had all the vehicles. Did this just happen or something?
We played it last night and the night before. No banshee, no warthogs, no ghosts, only mongoose. Really don’t like the way it plays now.
That’s weird. What game mode were you playing? I could understand getting rid of the Banshee, but the other vehicles weren’t that bad.
BTB slayer.
Time to hop into BTB until I get slayer on Altar. Sounds like the game messed up though if the only vehicles on that large open map were mongeese.

Played it for a 3rd time last night, no vehicles, also wasps are gone on Deadlock.

The wasps being gone on Deadlock really doesn’t make sense. They weren’t an issue to deal with considering there are 2 rockets, 2 hydras, 2 plasma pistols, and a spartan laser. Are people really complaining about vehicles like wasps that much? All you need is a few BRs to take them down.

I have to assume people must have been complaining. I have never been one to ask for a map to be removed but Altar is horrible now. Slow, grinding game play and the spawns switch as soon as you cross the center of the map.
Just got Big Team Slayer on Altar and I can confirm that only mongeese are left. It’s dumb. I do think it’s funny that the laser is still there though even though it’s useless now.
Edit: Also the hydra is now OP on Deadlock. It respawns as soon as it’s empty and there are no wasps so… I went 27/1 with it.
The Wasps were getting easily abused on Deadlock when you had mismatched skill matching which is probably why they got removed. When a team got both Wasps, the other team usually couldn’t even leave their base. I noticed on flag games they replaced the laser with the grenade launcher. Not sure if it’s the same with slayer.

There seems to be the problem, not the presence of the Wasps.
It’s Big TEAM Battle. I hate to say it, but it’s like Warzone was. A team of 8 can drastically close the skill gap against 8 randoms.
With that being said, I would hate to see teams of 8 not be possible. I’ve been playing for 10 years or so with same group. There are 8 of us.
Well, it is social and they’re never gonna fix the skill matching so there will always be mismatched games with parties and solo vs solo causing the Wasp to be an issue more often than not.
Honestly after playing the new Deadlock, I’m fine with it as is or with the wasps, but they need to change Altar back. The whole point of BTB is to have large teams AND vehicle battles. I understand that warzone is a thing now, but it’s not the same.
I’d be fine with the Wasps gone from every map, tbh.

I agree, wasps are just a minor inconvenience on Deadlock.
I still haven’t gotten Altar to check it out since this thread was made. Is anyone else getting it?
I was thinking about it and I kind of think that maybe 343 used the wrong map version of Altar. They could’ve been making a few changes, but they put the wrong version in. My reasoning for this is that DoubleGamer mentioned the laser was still on the map which would be odd if the Mongoose was the only vehicle left since the laser seems like it would be a little overkill for that.

I agree. I also find it strange that they took the vehicles out for the slayer. I could maybe see it for objective game types since people hold the objective.
