6 years later and it’s still an extremely sweaty game type that’s not “fun” to play. Don’t really have anything other than that to say. Every time it comes up I’m disappointed.

You have to play strongholds as a team or it’s no fun, even if you are all solo que just follow a teammate around and try pinging to get people to go to a hill. If you really don’t like the gametype then to each their own but don’t hate it just because someone went try hard.
Isn’t this the game-mode they called the “new” game-mode? But it’s just zone-control except you don’t get any points at all if you only have 1 zone. It’s just less balanced. Own or get owned.
I don’t “dislike” it. But the old zone control was better.

I understand how to play the game. It’s just not a good time.
Agreed totally, the way they described it initially sounded cool. But in reality, hold the majority of 3 points to win. When the game goes f2p I could see this getting worse, since I notice in most games I play outside of MCC, there is little obj play, and I fear with f2p that’ll be the case. And a mode like this will suffer greatly for it, when its already mediocre at best, making me want to play CTF, oddball, KOTH, etc. instead.

To each their own like I said, but I still think you would have enjoyed it more if you had gotten a less try hard team or better teammates.

I lol’d when they called it new in that gameplay…
It feels like every game 343 makes they just make it more and more like Territories in Halo 2.
Dominion had while custom bases with turrets , ordinance, and one way shields. Strongholds just had some cover that would pop out to protect the area. And now we are back to classic 3 plots. Nothing special just zones to control.
The problem for me is that it felt like once two strongholds were held and the game really gets going, that the team starts spawning scattered around the map, with no chance to regroup, and if you encounter the enemy, you get destroyed because their is like 2 or 3 of them in a group.

Not to mention the stupid 10 second spawn times for Strongholds and CTF. Makes it impossible to stop the flag, or come back in Strongholds… 10 seconds used to be used as a -Yoinking!- punishment, in already slower paced Bungie titles, not as the base death time in a faster paced 343i title

No… The mode in BTB is the new mode. Go back and listen again to what they say.

Just to be clear this is not the new mode they were talking about forum. The new mode was called total control. Guess people didn’t read the blog
