Yesterday, the fifth of March, I was able to play Big Team Battle even without the map packs.
today, I went on to play, and I'm told I need the maps.
Why?
this wasn't a part of the march update, was it?
I'm very sad and disappointed and annoyed.
Can someone explain what has happened?

How? The people who paid for the maps have been screwed the entire time since 343 took over and have only had 1 playlist to play them in (what was recently added), the map packs have been out over a year now and they should be required for certain playlists (just like in halo 3), especially btb since their are 2 great maps to play on (highlands and breakpoint) for btb.

We don't even know if it's an error or was meant to happen since it was never mentioned in the update.

It was mentioned in the TU.. The march TU that came out this morning said that they added a new playlist aka Super Slayer and a new gamemode for Big Team Battle.. Big Team Battle Heavies. and yeah it did ruin BTB for most, as you can see now there are waaaay less people playing the playlist now then before. there usually is about 5000 or more now theres less than 1500.

Well that sucks, what do i have to buy to play BTB now?

  • 03.06.2012 12:27 PM PDT

same here. Yea I guess some of the BTB maps use the map packs.... But its hard to complain since its technically our faults for not buying them... But since there's a huge player drop for BTB I can only assume that they'll work it out so all players can get on the playlist

Oh man, when I saw the update and it said heavies I got excited. But no. They could have added a dlc playlist for all the new maps, sort of what there is already with anniversary. But now I can't play btb at all. sigh.

agreed, the new maps are great, you should download them all.

This would increase variety in MM as you have more maps to choose from.
