Subject: Big Team Battles on Small Maps

On almost all the games I've played on The Cage and Courtyard, the map often felt rather empty. Why were Big Team Battles restricted to the largest maps, which still felt deficient in players?

fear me, for i am pro sauce

courtyard? you mean boardwalk?

small maps cant handle that many people, thats why they arent in BTB

play squad slayer, 5 per team on the small maps works very well, the only downside is the lack of vehicles

Retarded spawns. Most likely choppy framerate too.

I'm in love with Jesus and proud of it!

BTB on Swordbase, Asylum and Pinnacle. LOL.

I actually agree with you, compare the btb maps from halo 3 to reach's, reaches are 2-3 times bigger why? I know the DMR is a little bit longer range but -blam!-!

RC Clone is the anti-thesis of a lurker.

Because 16 players on the small maps doesn't work.

Yeah, but Invasion on Countdown is extremely fun due to 12 players.

Ruin the only good playlist by putting more maps on it that don't have vehicles?

Boardwalk already does not belong in the playlist. BTB boardwalk is garbage just like BTB countdown and Atom were before it.

BTB on Zealot.


Do it now.

I think you're garbage for saying such dipsheet garbage. Boardwalk btb is awesome, and on countdown it was awesome too. Btb should have smaller maps without vehicles, because its less campy and its more hectic. Btb should be on countdown, zealot, powerhouse, reflection, uncaged, and asylum. That would fockin rule. Period.

both of those maps are way too small for 16 people

IMO most of reach's maps work well enough for 4v4s and 5v5s are best on some other ones
