This is such a disappointment to me. Forge maps are okay and everything and I’m sure the creators worked hard on them. But they are still Forge-y looking. You know what I mean. All those big maps in H4 were great. They weren’t forged. BTB community is huge! How do you just throw forge maps at them? Pretty insulting. Have they said they aren’t doing dedicated 343 maps? Using the same time they put into Arena maps? These forge maps leave no room for open spaces and runs with the Warthog to get the flags, you can’t even get to top speed without hitting some Forge edge of something. It’s all too cramped. Unlike a Ragnarok. People avoid the warthogs cause they are a death trap. Once they get going they have to stop or get cramped and here comes the grenades raining in. Haven’t seen any good Warthog flipping action on these BTB maps yet.
Halo 5s Forge can make really good maps gameplay wise and look good at the same time, but I do see where your coming from. The BTB maps in Halo 4 where actually pretty decent, there was a lot of variety and a big difference in strategy required for each map.
I think the main issues is that the Warzone maps are probably the same size as 3 classic BTB maps and as a result they take up to much time to design, make and playtest. Its probably a bad idea but if they made a BTB area inside each Warzone map than we could get the best of both worlds, the only issue then is the map would look repetitive.
By just using community created forge maps and just “remixing” maps they’ve already made they can keep giving us “new” content while pocketing all that money spent on microtransactions…
New maps = more gooder. I don’t care if they’re forged, remixes or “original”.

Except the maps in Halo 4 were just as bad since they were all mostly small, I’ve yet to see a single map in Halo 5 that even compares to the size of Blood Gulch in BTB, just hope they don’t include any terrible maps like the ones in Warzone since it’s just catered to dmr spam.
yea, I hate small maps, other than a couple back in halo 2, and a couple in halo reach, but even then, only when its a swords/shotty game (such as infection) I miss the big maps, and being able to choose CTF ONLY and not have to slog through a bunch of gametypes I hate just to play one game of CTF on a miniscule map. Death Island and Timberland from halo 1 were a couple of my favorites (not to mention DI was great for stunting). the one in halo 4 with the mantis and the river, I forget the name of, was another of my favorites.

I would love to see Blood Gulch remade and updated. If its the same map I’m thinking of there is too much empty space between the two bases. So they would either need to add something in the middle whether it be higher hill or two or building or something. I only just recently played the BTBmaps from H2 and 3. There are lots of good maps that could be reused and polished. Heck Even CE has some good maps.

Well the map that I think we’re both probably thinking of has barely any room to get around, vehicles like the warthog become too risky to get into it, it’s weird how it’s way too easy to get kills in BTB in Halo 5, yet it seems a fair bit more difficult, challenging in Halo Reach. Halo 5 in BTB seems to be about focusing on DMR spam, Gun-goose whenever possible. I don’t think BTB is as competitive as previous Halo games since it seems too easy to hold a good K/D, I dare not think how scary it would be if they put a tank in one of those maps since it wouldn’t last long…
At least it’s not as unbalanced as Warzone is.
Im hoping January’s 2-4 new maps will be BTB maps. We need at least one. Honestly. And as soon as we start getting those Dev BTB maps the forge ones better start hitting the road. So we won’t have to continue getting the forge maps over the few dev maps.
