I would probably vote differently if meaningful progress didnāt often depend on finding them, really.
If Iām just playing for kicks and giggles, I donāt have much of a complaint other than how lame it is that theyāre never around. Maybe weāll get a bunch in a future super fiesta modeā¦

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 āmore vehicles spawning at my baseā was meant to be that but Iāll adjust it
We need heavies spawning at base. Right now the game mode feels like Warzone-lite. thatās 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 āat the startā to the choice there. Iād 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 thatās rather badass

Sadly the btb map havenāt 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 donāt 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 itās going to show up.

Yeah, thatās the whole problem is that itās BTB, yet people arenāt getting to try out vehicles enough. I think that is perfectly remedied by spawning them at the start

Agreed. Also, Not sure Iām the only one who feels like this but, thereās times where I donāt 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 shouldnāt have COMPLETELY replaced heavy vehicle spawns. If I had my way, BTB vehicle spawns wouldāve 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 shouldāve been a minor(ish) addition to the BTB formula, not a complete replacement of most vehicle spawns.

My logic is keep the Pelicanās 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 canāt 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⦠thatās just wrongā¦
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.
