So we're getting new btb maps...

but they’re not even appearing in the BTB playlist? really?

Apparently. Maybe Exile hasn’t been played quite enough yet.

my biggest concern is that they’re giving us new BTB maps while we still have very Broken BTB itself

I think the new maps have been specifically geared towards 6v6 which is a mistake, because it will just further devide the population…

The Castle maps were not designed for Big Team. They weren’t designed for any existing playlist except for maybe Dominion, so they had to change the playlists to accommodate them.

This.

And, if you looked at the videos, they are not really BTIS ((BTB for those who have not yet noticed that Halo 4 does not have BTB…it is BTIS sized unfortunately.

wow really, i didnt know this. what a dumb idea, the only reason i will get these maps is bc my gf likes to play ctf (which i dont know that they will even be integrated into)

Wtf? Why did Certain Affinity say it was the return of Big Team Objective in their Castle preview videos? I like CTF the most in Halo 4 but I loved Big Team CTF in Reach even more.

Big Team isn’t 6v6. Big Team isn’t Invasion.

All three Castle Maps (Daybreak, Outcast and Perdition) will be available in the CTF playlist as well as CTF in Castle Team DLC.
