Because I'm older than yer pappy & may have a second or 2 to react to taking rounds to me grey haired mellon instead of just watching meself go ground prone with no clue from who or where or whatever the f^@k.

That plus I used to be a 'wheelman' for a very notorious east coast crime family and I'm not bad at racking up overkills when behind the wheel....I'm even better at helpin shooters with sprees when behind said wheel.

It's a terrible playlist with terrible players who make it their goal to go at least -50 every game.

Because it's fun to watch you guys spawn kill them as I grab the flag and run it.

Only regret is I didn't play more of it.

If you haven't noticed by now, I'm sort of a jerk.

I don't even play Reach anymore. And not a single -blam!- is given.

TU has made BTB so much better, with a much more consistent DMR at the long ranges of BTB maps. Why don't you like it?

I only like the bloom settings. Bleedthrough was not in mind when reach was in development, so it doesn't work well in reach.

going off for -50 is an achivement and I am proud to be able to do it.

  • 02.06.2012 9:21 PM PDT

Because messing around with a bunch of friends is more enjoyable than the majority of other playlists.

This. 85% bloom is obviously much better on the DMR than 100% but bleedthrough just caused too many issues

BTB is the best place to chill. You don't need to try incredibly hard as the larger amount of players means that not everything rests on you, big maps, fun game types. I like it for it's lack of seriousness.

  • 02.06.2012 11:39 PM PDT

Be sure to tell everyone how cool you are. If you don't tell them, they won't know.

BTB = only playlist that can actually challenge your skills with a variety of things. Any other playlist is for the CoD wannabes :)


If BTB = Objective, than sure.

Also, I like btb. If im alone or have not a full team, I play big team because I find it casual and easy when I don't want to try.

It's one of those relax and talk to friends playlists. Sometimes I just want to shoot stuff without feeling the urge to try whilst conversing with my companions.


This.

Then on the off chance you do match another decent party, there are More things to worry about besides 1-2 power weapons and 4 players like in other playlists. Twice the power weapons and players and when you add vehicles into the mix it makes for a difficult time coordinating everything.

But when you pull off that perfect 8 man push to take the objective late in the game it feels so rewarding.

That is why I play btb.

My problems [with Reach] are basically just full parties, mlg, and people who go out of their way not to get killed.

I never actually started due to how crap it was.

I still think it's crap.

However.

It's relaxing when I'm not being an MLG tryhard.

I play BTB when i want to relax and play a game of reach. Its large team size and maps make the gameplay very paced, it also helps that most of the players in that list arent the best by any means.

I love BTB for various reasons, but at the same time I loathe it because you can lose whilst going +30 in slayer because ModestPeninsula5 has downs and magically goes -50.

It's also hilarious to piss off sweaties that camp power weapons spawns and unscope them when they try to use sniper. Bonus points for getting them to betray you, and booting them as soon as the game ends.

I used to play BTB quite a bit because it was a pretty chill playlist, and the vehicles made it interesting. Huge maps, the lack of nade spam and actually having a reason to zoom the sniper all the way in make the games a lot different from other playlists. Plus the objectives. Then of course there's nothing quite like getting chased into a structure by a Falcon full of hopefuls on Abridged, only to pop out with the Plasma Launcher and light them up for the triple kill after they've turned and begun a retreat. As a random this is all pretty entertaining.

I don't even see how most big parties can play in the playlist and stay sane, though. Most solo players, including myself, just dashboard when put up against them (which isn't fair, randoms shouldn't have to play parties of 7-8). Even so I know their pain, and what it's like to have half a team quit out and have to search for the rest that're in HLG mode. It's boring as -blam!-.

Because it lets people be good at more than just using the DMR. Not dying once while driving a warthog around the entire game isn't something everyone can do.

  • 02.07.2012 12:56 AM PDT

Vehicles and cross map firefights.

I honestly can't play more than three or for games on any of the default 4v4 maps. They all have way too many LoS blockers, and points of escape, which forces players to run in packs/teamshot to be effective.
