Poll - BTB Heavy Vehicle (Wraith/Scorpion) Drop Rate Feedback

Poll - BTB Heavy Vehicle (Wraith/Scorpion) Appearance in Multiplayer Beta Feedback
  • Heavy vehicles should be dropped less
  • I enjoy the current rate at which heavy vehicles are dropped
  • I would like heavy vehicles to drop more frequently throughout the match
  • I would like more heavy vehicles and would prefer they just spawned at my base

I would probably vote differently if meaningful progress didn’t often depend on finding them, really.

If I’m just playing for kicks and giggles, I don’t have much of a complaint other than how lame it is that they’re never around. Maybe we’ll get a bunch in a future super fiesta mode…

Where is the option for just going back to classic BTB where everything spawns on the map from the start and just respawns periodically? This staged throughout the match crap is atrocious for challenges and general enjoyment of mayhem.

the option for ā€˜more vehicles spawning at my base’ was meant to be that but I’ll adjust it

We need heavies spawning at base. Right now the game mode feels like Warzone-lite. that’s not to say I disliked Warzone, but it feels like it does neither Warzone or BTB well resulting in a messy feeling gametype with an identity crisis.

apparently I edit it after the first 5 mins so… my bad

Well you at least clarified which one is meant to inspire the classic feeling.

I just want to add ā€œat the startā€ to the choice there. I’d like to see them spawned at the beginning like they used to, and then throughout the match, the respawn would be a pelican coming and dropping them off, cause I think that’s rather badass

Sadly the btb map haven’t been designed around vehicle like tanks and aircraft spawning in the map with how small they are. Btb gone from 6v6 all out vehicular combat to a 12v12 with vehicles sprinkled in

I don’t think 343 has any plans on removing the new drop system. I personally have certain likes and dislikes about it but I mainly wanted to make the poll to see if people feel they have been getting heavy vehicles enough. Personally I have only managed to get in the gunner seat of a scorpion once and I have never even seen a Wraith once in a match. I have also had multiple matches where I hear the callout of x inbound or incoming, and the match ends before it arrives or I even know where it’s going to show up.

Yeah, that’s the whole problem is that it’s BTB, yet people aren’t getting to try out vehicles enough. I think that is perfectly remedied by spawning them at the start

Agreed. Also, Not sure I’m the only one who feels like this but, there’s times where I don’t even wanna drive a tank or Wraith or anything for that matter but I make it my job to take out who ever is driving it. I find it really satisfying when a tank is taking out my whole team and I get to be the one to take it down.

The big thing for me is that BTB has always been about having extra vehicles at base. I feel like the Pelican system shouldn’t have COMPLETELY replaced heavy vehicle spawns. If I had my way, BTB vehicle spawns would’ve been more like Classic Halo BUT the pelican systems would existed (less frequently) as an extra piece of equipment/vehicle to fight over a couple of times a match.

Basically I feel like the Pelican drops should’ve been a minor(ish) addition to the BTB formula, not a complete replacement of most vehicle spawns.

My logic is keep the Pelican’s but have them drop the vehicles at their spawn points rather than materializing out of thin air.

They could absolutely improve on this system if they brought back heavies spawning at base like classic and used pelican drops as a way to drop vehicle variants like a gauss hog or fuel rod wraith. People have pitched similar ideas on how to improve loot caves.

Just want tank USNC heavy and 10,000 tons of HE spewing divine intervention that I want to use can’t do that till the 8 tho. Only have seen one tank out of mine 3 btb matches sad.

I have just under 10 hrs of playtime and have never even seen a wraith… that’s just wrong…

To be fair and clear, this is a re-vamped BTB. There will still be a classic BTB. So asking for this mode to be exactly the same as classic BTB, is pointless.

Wait, there will be? Can I see the source?

It was in the one live stream talking about BTB, they just briefly said that classic BTB will still be there. You can do the search yourself.
