It’s been a year and we still have unequal vehicle spawns, crappy vehicle durability and wonky physics, poor weapon spawns and long drawn out matches.
Literally my first game I played went 16 mins and we won 1-0 because we got a scorpion and managed to steal theirs.
But more importantly a different match I played we were down 0-2 and the enemy gets a scorpion while we got a rocket hog. WTF 343 I quit a year ago because of this and it literally has not changed at all.
From what I have seen, it seems the spawns of items are also based around player locations and kills. When certain players have better control over certain areas of the map or are getting kills instead of getting points (for non-slayer matches), it can cause the game to tally points towards their team even if they are losing. The system of giving the losing team the better stuff also has the unfortunate consequence of making matches even longer, so that is not a perfect option as well. 343 faces an odd predicament here, and this may actually be one of their most creativity-requiring challenges yet.
Definitely some truth to this, I’m low vision, play like dumpster gutter trash the majority of the time and frequently hear (but don’t see) the obelisk item drops around me when I spawn, or when I’m running around the map. These drops are a lot more dynamic than people realize. The vehicle spawns are a lot of fun too - regardless of winning or losing when I see one of those tanks drop for my team or the opposition, it’s just fun.
But you don’t like Getting a Gungoose & they get a Wraith?
But all seriousness, it’s definitely something that needs to be addressed, lack of Vehicle Drop balance & bad weapon spawns especially the ones to take out vehicles is something that needs to be looked at
Can confirm that this still hasn’t been fixed. I’ve been in many BTB games since Nov 2021 & vehicle spawns are not balanced. The winning team can get a scorpion to spawn at their base and the losing team gets the gungoose. The vehicle spawns need to go back to being balanced as in past Halo games.
If both teams get the same vehicle spawns at the same time, it will be much more balanced and can show what team plays better.
One-sided vehicle spawns are unbalanced, period.
What needs to be fixed in BTB when it comes to CTF flag carriers should not have Camouflage activated. Disable Camo while flag is being held.
Except it doesn’t work out like this at all. Many times, more often than not - the games seem to spawn Scorpions/ Wasps to the teams that are already winning.
They have new maps coming out for BTB that have traditional vehicle spawns I’m pretty sure. Besides that it technically does spawn fairly with an algorithm. I still rly enjoy btb.
