I agree. Ancestor is the best BTB map in Halo 5.

There is a lot of good maps in Halo 5 for BTB. As long as we have a solid forge like Halo 5 in Halo 6, I don’t see why we couldn’t have all these and more.

I made a thread like this a while back, and my choices were Fracture, Dispelled, Port Authority, Unearthed (my second favorite) and Risen along with Ancestor.

Well technically you’re asking for community maps so haven’t a clue what community maps I’d want 343i to make as AAA quality maps, pretty sure some of the maps are inspired by other maps from previous games so might be easier to just make maps based on older Bungie AAA maps.

This is the btb matchmaking list.

Not sure since a lot of them aren’t great and a few have been remade enough. Ehh, maybe Dispelled. The map is alright except for the Wasps.

Outside of my own map, I’d go with Dispelled, I love the look, the flow, the options. Idk, just really love getting that map.

That Halo 2 Uplift map remake. Don’t know the map name I’ve just seen it before. Looks like a neat remake of that map.

Risen is the name of that map.

Yes I know, look at H5…we didn’t get a single AAA quality map, which is kind of worrying for what we will get for H6, I wouldn’t be surprised if they forced forge only maps again. BTB matchmaking list is just community approved maps that 343i have approved so anything can go as long as 343i add’s it to the BTB matchmaking playlist, I’m tired of seeing nothing but forge maps in H5. It’s painfully obvious that 343i didn’t care or think about BTB when H5 launched so not sure how there going to approach this in future Halo games.

I’m pretty sure they were trying to replace BTB with Warzone and realized that was a mistake when it was too late. I’m actually confident that the community lashed out and spoke about BTB missing dev maps. Unfortunately most of the forge maps were better playing than most dev maps.

Yep they tried to because they were trying to make the game P2W, which is why we have tier vehicles, etc…
Still to me didn’t make any sense why they didn’t put Warzone maps into BTB for those that just want to play on AAA quality maps without the REQ system, with even starts. Not sure what was better about them since the forge maps were small due to the forge canvas being catered to small team based games only, well the kill boundaries were poorly placed generally everywhere.

Well the Warzone maps are 12v12 and would be huge with 8 less players on them. As far as kill boundaries go on BTB maps, some were good. Dispelled, Risen, Ancestor, Unearthed come to mind, no boundary issues there.

Sure thats another good point. Thi is supposed to be a new generation of Halo, yet we’re still stuck with smaller teams, even Battlefield has 64 players so its strange how we’re still stuck with small maps with small teams. Not sure about those maps but there are plenty of awful block/kill boundaries that are put in poorly positioned places in Warzone, kind of gets tiresome trying to kill mini-boss while dealing with kill timers on the beach.

They went very BTB heavy in Halo 4 and that didn’t work for them so they went Arena heavy in Halo 5 (with the addition of Warzone).

If you wanted to play BTB on warzone maps I think you would need at least 16 people on each team, which to be fair could be an idea worth testing.

Thats because Halo 4 was unbalanced mess, the maps were painfully small. H5 got a bit bigger but the scaling of the maps still feels wrong.
