I mainly play big team and I find the lack of maps strange. I noticed that some maps like the sandtrap remake and a bunch of others were taken out of the playlist at some point. I thought this was strange but figured they weren’t popular or something. But then I played some big team fiesta and found that a bunch of the maps are there so they are clearly still being used. It makes me wonder why all the maps aren’t included in both playlists as I feel that people generally like to have a variety of maps. Overall I just think that more variety of maps is better even if they don’t all play as well as the current small selection in the big team playlist.
I wish I knew the answer but 343 love constricting player choice, It’s one of my biggest gripes with them, I remember Halo 3 having soooo many gamemodes on offer.
It gets worse when you play Arena and realise there are only about 4 maybe 5 maps that aren’t remixes of each other.
