Subject: BTB Heavies ruined Big Team Battle.

Asphalt is one of my favourite maps and the wraith can be used very well on that map, as i got an Untouchable in one. The fact that it's so crammed makes it unique for a BTB map and is exactly what I like about it.

Burn Bright, Burn Blue, till our bodies are reduced to ash...

~ Videogames are my favorite videogames ~

Heavies is fun, it's just weighted high because of this being its debut.

Next month it will probably be weighted a little less and changed some. Maybe it will even have some Objective variants for more variety.

I wouldn't mind seeing some of the used forge maps for normal BTB gametypes though.

If you think Halo has been ruined, I ask you, why would you still play it and waste your time posting so much about it? If you think Halo Reach is such a 'disgrace' just get over it, no game will ever stay the same, every game will change and you'll either adapt to it or move on.

I do really well in heavies, i creep along and act like a guerrilla fighter picking off enemies with my DMR from cover.

I thought having tanks would be bad but the maps in the heavies gametype actually have plenty of cover that makes simply avoiding them easy.

adapt
Well there's your problem.

Like I said, Reach is trash, but I DID adapt to it. I played it in a way that would fit for me. That's why, once in a while, I hopped on it and played BTB or Infection. I played like a casual, you know, the kind of person the game was designed for...

...but now I can't play BTB without getting some -blam!- Heavies gametype. You know, it wouldn't be so bad if Reach didn't have all its bad sides, but what Heavies does for me is focuses on a lot of Reach's -blam!- aspects (and there are a LOT). The vehicles, they are terrible in Reach. Vehicle gameplay is no longer what it used to be in previous Halos. Why in the actual -blam!- are vehicles so weak to spawning weapons? Power weapons exist for a reason.

Then there's the Armor Abilities. When your in something like a tank, -blam!-s will just sprint their candy-asses to your tank and hijack you. They do the same thing with Jet Pack.

Believe it or not, Armor Lock is the least of my problems in Heavies.

Don't tell me I didn't adapt, because I did. I started playing just like every other casual in Reach: getting on for 1-2 hours a day once every couple days, unlike the 6-8 and sometimes 10 hours a day I spent playing Halo 3. I adapted by making my game time in Reach significantly shorter. If I was going to find a way to enjoy Reach, I had to adapt to the cancerous features and changes made to the core Halo gameplay and style.

***KEEP IT CLEAN***

Feedest Ye Notte Yon Trolles

BTB Heavies was meant to be good. But like Halo 4, 343i just don't have it in them to fabricate what Bungie could do. Well.

I feel with Chief having new armour you know it's going to have all changes that no fans want.. and this goes to BTB heavies.

Community maps? Really? Can't make your own so have to choose some lame excuses? You blocked off EVERY building on Spire? Yeah.. so when the Gauss Hog comes rolling.. no one can hide. GREAT IDEA.

And you have too many un-balanced issues. The Scorpion is so weak. No vehicle lasts 30 seconds or more when the sniper or Laser is active. Plus what happened to the Grenade launcher variant of the Falcon? surely that would make being up against the Gauss more fair? It's not Sandtrap and it definitely is not Avalanche.

(Side note. What happened to Forge being your own hand of god in creations? You can do anything? Like.. Spawn the Grenade Falcon? or increase the speed or change the weapons on the Shade turret? No fun indeed. This game seems to restrict you in everything you want to do.)

Its fun in a wraith, but I have been glitched out of the map several times and lost my almost untouchable.

  • 03.21.2012 7:57 PM PDT

Im mixed about it, sometimes its fun, others its damn annoying being betrayed by berserking revenants, or running round the corner to 2 wraiths and knowing your spartan cried a little, Also the crammed one, I think its Asphalt is bugged so bad for wraiths, I've had one wraith i got in suddenly fly forward then explode and fly through the air out of the map, while another decided to blow up right at the start, giving me a suicide, a betrayal, and the wraith nowhere to be seen.

I'm with you. Grenade Falcons, Fuel Rod Turrets, Skins for forge pieces, Seraphs, Space Banshees, Sabres...I suppose its a huge improvement from 3, but I expect 4 to give everything its got. Space battlefields are what I'm hoping for, as distant a possibility that is.

It was amazing in Halo 3. The Reach version not so much.

  • 04.08.2012 6:56 PM PDT

at least it beats hemorrhage. That map was utter crap. I'd pick heavies over hemorrhage anyday.

I am a monument to all your good deeds.

I like it because there are so many vehicles like on asphalt theres like five ghosts for each team.

Tru7h. C4RN4GE. Bungie.

Learn the maps and control power weapons. Spawn kill with a team. Win almost every time.

I'm 23, I have a house, dog, girlfriend, job and I have no interest in any fanboyism so if you're thinking about sending me a childish PM, don't be surprised when I don't call back.
