Arrogant hyperbolic exclamations of woe? Seems like a normal day for Halo/Bungie.net.
I agree. Halo 2's BTB was only good because of it's maps. Halo 3 had the best though, because Vehicle Combat was the most balanced and fun. By the way, do yourself the favor and don't play Reach BTB outside of the Map Pack Playlists. The non-DLC maps are horribly designed and Hemorrhage is a stretched out Coag with Gulch Bases and Valhalla-esque Canyon structure. Which is bad because it takes even longer to cross the map by foot due to Reach's movement speed and because Vehicles explode so fast with the uber-DMR we spawn with.

No, you know why BTB was so much better in Halo 2 than in 3 or Reach? The maps were so much better in Halo 2. Who doesn't have great memories of playing assault and 1 flag on Headlong, Zanzibar, Coagulation, Containment, Relic, and Terminal? The maps were perfect for some great objective games with 8 vs. 8. No, it was the maps that made the Halo 2 BTB experience what it was. Sadly, maps like Sandtrap, High Ground, Snowbound, Valhalla, Rat's Nest, and Longshore just don't compare. I haven't had enough MP experience in Reach yet, but so far I still don't think Reach maps compare either. Halo 3 does have a few good BTB maps like Avalanche, Last Resort, and Standoff, but they still aren't as good as Halo 2's.
