Simply put, something is wrong with the spawns.
Every time I’ve played there, red comes over to blue to watch blue team spawn, and that’s it. Blue will continue to spawn in blue base even if red is entirely empty.
I have even gone over as blue, ensured red was empty, got a couple of kills before they spotted me and took me out, and I immediately spawned in blue again. In the sights of another red I might add.
I’ve had the same issue. Happens on Viking for me too actually…
This is how Halo is meant to be played. Each team has a base and you have to fight for map control. Random spawns ruin the game.

For me, viking seems to only have an issue spawning right next to the actual towers, which still poses a problem but not as large.
I have noticed other isolated cases on other maps, but they seem to right themselves eventually (probably afk or simply someone staying behind), unlike Altar.

That makes sense for objective gamemodes, but it just means constant spawn camping in others, especially snipers. Random/location/line of sight spawning means that you can only get so far without at least watching your back.
It’s not difficult to adjust to, but obviously if the map won’t allow it then people will just camp and the other team can’t even take a step without dying.

I disagree. Random spawns make it difficult to be spawn killed which makes it a more fair environment. That’s probably why Bungie worked so hard to improve CE’s crappy spawns for H2, and eventually H3. Otherwise the enemy team can get undeserved kills by cheesing the system.
Try messaging the map creator OP, perhaps they are unaware of the issue.
All btb maps are terrible for Snipers
I was going to give my 2 cents worth here, but then I remembered I haven’t played snipers since the last time it was around. I think I’ll go check this out.
