Can we try this at least once. It would be nice to have competitive even BTB games where it’s not one person with a million kills and 7 people that are completely inept and a boring misdirected -Yoink- show. So much left on the table when BTB is always unranked and pointless.

Would be interesting to see a ranked BTB, you’d need to have a minimum team size though to avoid getting any randoms.
Ranked BTB has been tried in multiple Halos, and it has always fallen to the same problem: lack of population.
Maybe making the game F2P will make HI have more population though, to make ranked BTB possible. I personally never had fun in it because the only teams I went up against were hyper-talented stacked teams.
In my opinion, BTB is just pure casual fun. I personally find no enjoyment playing it when everyone is in full-on sweat mode.

It’s great in theory however it would be very frustrating getting the ranks without having a solid large crew.
I have never in my over a decade time of playing Halo have seen BTB as a competitive game mode. it’s got a lot of players for a reason. to make it chaotic and fun. It would suck if it was ranked.

The comms would be a mess lol.
I really liked ranked Big Team in H5, but I know I was in the minority. I hope it does get a chance a couple times during Infinite’s life though.
no
unfortunately, ranked BTB (especially in this new playlist) would be far too difficult to climb in, due to just sheer amount of player density.
What if they made it like clan war? Clans of 8 people, or even 2 squads of 4 work together against 2 4 man squads with separate spawn areas etc. I just feel like there is so much opportunity for competitive game modes on these big maps and it’s just wasted by the afk guy, the pair running around on a mongoose and the pro player going for a high kill record. It’s just a mess and nobody cares about the objective. Might as well be big team open world no time limit nothing matters goof around lobby.

actually this would be a great idea. i could imagine every season a clan tournament being made. like you all need to be online at a certain time and you get matched up against other clans, and at the end one clan wins an exclusive item or money. but its a thing anyone can join. I would love for this to happen, and it would get people making clans and giving something to work towards and be excited for.

Halo 5 did this with Warzone “warlords”. It’s a playlist in which you could only queue with a full 12 stack and go for sweaty as hall big battles. Funny enough it was implemented as a countermeasure for 12 stacks farming the playlist for kills and awards.
A while ago there were some BTB tournaments for Reach, so i wouldn’t say there isn’t a possibility but probably with a minimal group size to queue (4?).
As others have said it has been trialled a bunch and always fails for a number of difficult to fix reasons.
I think you’d be better served using the big team maps for multi-team battles. In Halo 3 you had 8 player, 4 team matches which were super fun. This would be the same, but it would be 6 teams of 4 playing against each other. That would suit a competitive environment more. But then you have the issue of asymmetric starts needing to be balanced and the maps being set up for chaotic big team fun rather than competition in mind.
