I haven’t played Halo Multiplayer in years(Halo 3) and Halo 5 seems to be the one to come in on as balance seems to be a big deal.
There was mention of focus on 4v4 combat. What I want to know is, has there been any word on 8v8 for Big Team Battles or is that something they are still trying to smooth out?
I’m sure there will be BTB in the final game. They would be dumb to not release the game without a Big Team Battle playlist since it has so many fans.
But I think they said the Beta will only be focused 4v4 arena gameplay.
There’s been talks that with the new capabilities of dedicated servers + the Xbox One, we could have larger playlists than Big Team. But there’s been no confirmation.

Add that to one of the big SpOps maps, throw in a Pelican, a few Warthogs and a Falcon, and we have a glorious combo.
Thanks for the feedback. It would be kind of interesting to see Halo brake the 8v8 of the Big Team Battles and go to 10v10, 12v12 or larger.
There will no doubt be BTB and larger-scale objective gametypes. 4v4 is just more of a focus for the game, and especially the beta.
With the Xbox One, they can add quite a few things to spice up large scale gameplay in Halo, beyond simply adding more players.
Bigger maps + bigger player caps + larger vehicles = awesome
(Pelicans, Elephants, Etc.)
I would have such a blast if these things were added and if this was ever confirmed I would pre-order a soon as I could.
