Should BTB be 12v12?

Okay, so we know BTB won’t be available at launch and will be added after a couple of weeks but do you think it should stay 8v8?

Personally I think 12v12 on maps a little smaller than Warzone’s maps would be totally awesome.

No thank you.

No, 8v8 is enough, any more and it would feel crowded (even some maps from the past 5 multiplayers have that feeling). With warzone, having 12v12 in other modes would seem silly and detract from warzone (I can’t remember where but there is talk of a PvP, no AI version of warzone).

I think it should stay 8v8. then you would have 4v4, 8v8 and 12v12 modes.

Ohhh shieet, I just had a vision of Battlefield: Hardline’s team deathmatch on the “projects” alike street.

wrong, you would have FFA, 2v2, 4v4, 8v8 and 12v12 modes. don’t forget rumble pit and doubles lol, don’t need to rile those groups up as well, they’re being thankfully quiet atm. but i agree, 8v8 will do fine, any more and you can’t keep a team on objective where as in warzone it is a team based ffa

It all depends on how the maps are designed. If they are similar to the BTB maps of yore then having 12v12 would kinda break map flow. But if 343i have taken 12v12 into consideration when making the maps then yeah it that would allow a higher player count.

I agree with you in that I’ve always thought that the idea of linking team size to map size is pointless. They do it to insure a certain specific ratio of kills-per-minute, but I’ve always thought that small teams on big maps and big teams on small maps makes for a nice change of pace. But apparently pace-of-play is the ultimate sacred cow for shooters.

I dont see why I would play BTB if there was Warzone available. Why play 12v12 battles with no AI, limited vehicles and weapons and no bases when I can play Warzone?

Because it would have no AI, limited vehicles, and weapons and no bases.

So then I would play BTB 8v8. I wouldn’t play it 12v12. Playing CTF is hard enough with 8 people, but 12 people? Forget that.

I like battlefield’s 64-player online MP, I think halo should do some 24 v 24 BTB screw AI, add more Spartans!!! Lol

Maybe in Halo 6 (;

8v8 BTB is fine. Keep that experience true to form. 12v12 is a lot of players and Warzone will have a no-AI version available anyway.

No AI version?
I wasn’t a fan of warzone, but If that’s true… that would be awesome lol

Josh Holmes tweeted about the probability of an invasion style PvP only war zone. He also explained that if there is an outcry for it, an PvE version could be made too.

That would be a disaster because of the long kill times. Battlefield works because it’s really easy to kill people and move the front line of combat up (except on Operation Metro and Locker).

Invasion-styled? That got my interest.
I’d really like to see the Base fortifying thing from Dominion too. Dominion and Invasion were both such great game modes to play~!

I think it should just stick good’ol 8v8.

I wonder what a 24 player free-for-all would be like on a Warzone map.

I’m fine with 8v8 keeps the battles pretty constant anyways.
