The ‘vehicular carnage’ should honestly be taken out of BTB’s description in the main menu. Unless if you count driving around in one Warthog and a Mongoose for the first few minutes of a match as thrilling gameplay, there’s really no fun to be had until the game is 30 seconds away from ending. With the exception of the two Wasps on Highpower, there’s pretty much no good vehicle spawns until the latter half of a BTB round. I get that 343 wants to shake up the multiplayer a bit to give it some freshness (and I do appreciate how they’ve incorporated vehicle spawns into the map itself), but… why? Why even put the Scorpion in the game if 95% of all matches end several minutes before it’s even set to spawn?
At the very least, we should have a BTB Heavies playlist.
The initial idea was that they didn’t want people fighting over the starting heavies like everyone did in the past. So they were on a tier building timer which would drop off vehicles according to the tier that was available. Though I think maybe they should just fully set it on a random drop, so it could start on tier 1 or it could start on tier 3.
They’re designed to spawn near the end of the match to speed things up…
They need to go back to the Halo CE model, where all vehicles spawned at the beginning of each match ; From Ghosts, Warthogs, Tanks and Air Craft.

I can see where they’re coming from with that perspective, but players are still going to fight for the heavy vehicles regardless. I guess I just prefer the system with consistent spawns, since it gets that whole ‘trying to get the tank’ thing over with right off the bat. At the very least, I feel like they should speed up the timer. It takes way too long to get power vehicles.

Yea they should definitely spawn like 2 minutes into the game
