Today I was playing BTB and played one new map I hadn’t played until today. It was a truly good map, but there were only Warthogs. There weren’t even Rocket hogs, or Gauss hogs. Serioulsy, why does this happens? I hate so much that Halo 4 maps are good for BTB but there are no Wraiths, Scorpions or Mantises.
Even Ragnarok had a Wraith for each team but this doesn’t happen in Halo 4; Complex would be so good if it had Gauss and Rocket Hogs, and even Meltdown could have Scorpions and Wraiths!
Can someone explain me this?
You should’ve played Heavies.
I think it’ll return soon, since almost everyone loved it.
I’m not a fan of vehicles so this doesn’t bother me at all…u know too many vehicles on h4 maps wouldn’t fit… they are still quite small imo.
This is ok to be in Heavies since the playlist ‘Heavies’ is supposed to encourage vehicle combats, whereas in normal BTB vehicle combats should play a major role but not dominate the whole match.
It was probably Panic Station.

I played Heavies. That’s why.

The maps play best without the heavier vehicles.
The map you will have played was Panic Station by The Psycho Duck (big forger). I have a friend who I play with regularly who is a mini game forger (made musical shields). One of his more recent mini games went through months of testing and altering. His good friend Slaphead (another good forger) also spends a very long time testing his maps. What I’m getting at is that the set up for each map is the way it is because that’s what plays best. You can’t just slap a Guass Hog onto Complex and expect it to work. Even if it looks like it will play well on paper, it doesn’t in practice. Not much else to it.
Personally I like BTB maps without heavier vehicles (unless it’s heavies). I really enjoyed the on foot combat and the team work used in Warthogs and to take down Warthogs.
I think too many heavy vehicles gums the game up. As it is I think map flow is extremely hampered on ragnorok by the mantis and the addition of more power vehicles will just make it more random and less fun.
For those that like heavys I think rather than ruining BTB I would like to see it show up from time to time as a bonus playlist.
