If 343 won’t fix it, I’m pretty sure the Forge Community will become a very popular alternative.

BTB maps used to be heavy vehicles and heavy weapons at base, with a lot of open battlefield great for driving, flying, and sniping.
343 said “Nope. Halo 4 ordinance again, and claustrophobic trenches, with super weak bad handling vehicles. Take it or leave it.”
Forge can’t come soon enough. We need proper BTB maps.

They need to stop this commando vrs BR trash, there is no way the commando is on par with the BR its one of the worst balance choices I have ever seen in a game.

I like nothing more than sitting around waiting in line for a BR to spawn…

If I’ve said it once then I’ve said it a thousand times, this is Big Team Arena not BTB. The focus on infantry is ruining the BTB experience.
Its a inconsistent unbalanced mess, I cant stand the random weapon spawns no more, base with commandos & ravager = ALT F4.

BTB definitely needs some tweeks. The maps aren’t very vehicle friendly and they are easily take out with skewers or grapple jack. I feel all the vehicles need a slight buff in fire power, except perhaps the tanks.
That’s why we don’t have forge…
I couldn’t agree more. Vehicles in this game are awful. Maps are awful. The new territories and stockpile are dumb. Half the team just camps battle rifle/shock rifle. 343 is overly worried about “competitive balance” and that is what is ruining Big Team Battle. BTB thrives on chaos. Big team battle was my go to social mode for ALL halos. Now it’s just frustrating and boring.

Personally agree with you with everything besides the Battle rifle/commando point. I think they shouldnt devide them from each side but keep their evenly spawned both sides, since the br spawn is just better.
But if you are referring to have BR starts is a different story. Assualt rifle spawns is needed for this type of BTB.
My only real problem with infinites BTB is the maps are just horrid.
BTB still needs an option for BR starts. Spawn camping for decent weapons takes up 50% of each game!

I don’t like btb, AR starts are awful, random weapon and vehicle spawns make the game really unbalanced

I HATE BTB!!! It has been the worst part of halo since halo 3! Now because they want to populate game modes they do weekly challenges that force you to play it to complete them if you wish to level up!! I hate CTF, power seed mode sucks, and strongholds is the worst! Odd ball? If I want to play crap like this I’ll play CALL OF DUTY!!
Not to mention the weapons are not made for this mode, the weapons in the entire game are so unbalanced and inaccurate it’s hard to play! The BR should be named UR… Useless Rubbish!!
I could not disagree more.
What? You don’t like spending 2 mins hoping to find a BR every time you spawn? Shocking.

BTB feels great in this game. The bigger maps really make the 12v12 perfect. Total Control is probably my new favorite mode because you can just get kill after kill. The only things I dislike about BTB is stockpile and Deadlock. Deadlock just feels small and bland. Stockpile is only fun when it’s well balanced, and everyone is trying. But even still, stockpile needs adjustment.
BTB is about a chaotic heavy vehicle played node. Without many vehicles, tanks, air vehicles, BTB really has no point to it. 343 design would work if they introduced some open maps. Have a playlist with BTB BR starts and BTB heavies like previous halos. Maybe a BTB fiesta mode. This game should have been delayed further and we are seeing it.
Here are all the modes that should be in the BtB playlist
BtB Stockpile
BtB Slayer
BtB Tactical Slayer
BtB CTF
BtB 1 flag
BtB Total Control
BtB Fiesta
BtB FFA (Normal ffa, but with 24 players)
BtB Oddball
BtB Neutral flag
BtB Attrition
BtB Elimination
BtB Heavies
