I’m so disapointing when I see a pelican dropping a warthog in BTB ! Pelican are supposed to drop vehicle who aren’t already on the map, so a why a warthog ? At least a rocket warthog, ok, but a normal warthog we see everywhere, no.
And sometime a team receive a tank and the other a warthog, it’s nonsense ? Is there a logic or is it all aleatory ?

I honestly feel like the whole random supply drop and weapon spawn thing needs to go entirely. Every weapon and vehicle in the game should be static and consistent.
There are some vehicles that I would prefer to be drops instead of static spawns, like choppers and ghosts, but others-- the heavy vehicles, gungoose, mongeese and warthog variants-- should definitely have fixed spawn locations.
Yeah the Pelican dropping Tanks isn’t good because of one main reason: The maps aren’t big enough for them to drop vehicles on without players being shot at the second they try and load up.
Someone else might be nearer to the vehicle drop and you miss it, whereas if it’s spawning at base, at least if you’re waiting there you have a better chance of getting a tank or Banshee.
In order for the Pelican drops to be a Viable game mechanic the maps would need to be the Size of Battlefield series maps, where the large map size makes pelican drops necessary and more feasible because everything is more spaced out, and it would still also have vehicles deploying from the main base.
Most of the Battlefield series games do a good job with vehicle dispersion and it works because the maps are big enough.
ALSO:
The BTB maps are NOT big enough for 24 players. The map size causes individual players to be encountering more instances of a high number of players, which makes the likelyhood of surviving a firefight much lower than previous games cause instead of fighting 2-3 people at once ( which is doable with a BR ) you’re fighting 3-5 people at once, coupled with the scarcity of BR’s and precision weapons makes BTB feel much more random And Chaotic than it should be.
If they are gonna fix BTB, they need to:
A. Have bigger maps for 24 player games and the current BTB maps should be for 16 players
B. Have both sides Spawn with a BR and Commando instead of stuff like one Side getting BR’s and the Other side just Commandos
C. More predictable Weapon spawns so player can remember it easier. If the weapons spawn in a different place each game, that’s annoying
D. More Verticality to the Maps and Flanking routes, the Current BTB maps feel too narrow and focus players into bigger battles instead of more smaller skirmishes
E. Halo 2 and Halo CE maps or map successors would be a good place to start for Big Team Battle. Waterworks is huge. Most of the Halo: CE ( PC version ) BTB maps have a scale more suitable for 24 players
F. With Bigger maps for 24 players they should add teleporters to some of those maps to make traversing long distance on foot less tedious if you don’t have a vehicle and it also allows for flag interception points, skirmishes and better map verticality
G. And Obviously having the Tanks Spawn at bases instead of Pelican drops.
H. They fix the bouncy Warthog physics, the horrible Brute Chopper steering ( just put the Halo 3 version in the game lol ) and change the Banshee handling to be more like the Halo Combat evolved version which was AMAZING. The current Banshee handles too sluggish
They just need to not drop them in the middle of the freaking map, and yes, they should be symmetrical drops.
I’m agree with you and it would be a moracle than 343 listen to this, but I made this topic about the dropping warthog. I have hope than they listen to this, they already make tank appear more often, this is an other little change they will maybe do
The problem is also where the pelicans drop them. They drop in front of the bases or in the center (Highpower) so a good team can sometimes skewer the need vehicle before anyone can even use it. At least drop them behind the bases so both team at least get a fair chance to use their tanks or force enemy snipers to get close to grief the vehicles.
Yeah it’s totally ridiculous to drop a warthog !
And more of the time, I wait under the pelican to drop his vehicule, and the time pass, and the vehicule don’t go down !?!?! This is non sense
I just play a game where the pelican drop three warthog one after another, it’s unbearable !!!
At least give both teams a Scorpion. It’s incredible that 343 think random spawns where one team gets a tank and another gets a mongoose is even remotely even.
Like… play your own game. Please.
Personally id prefer to have the old style of btb back from previous halos
