I have long hoped for an 8v8 playlist without vehicles involved. I used to love BTB, but then I grew tired of people sniping on the passenger seat of the Revenant, the countless noobs rushing for the Wraith at the beginning of the match to betray each other, and overall the whole tension that vehicles add into the mix. Makes you want to whore Armor Lock even more.

Couldn't Halo 4 have a BTB playlist without vehicles or something?

Some of those maps don't have vehicles on them (Boardwalk for instance). The fact that it's NEVER voted for is a testament to how popular your idea is.

If you want no vehicles, your best bet is Team Objective. It's not 8v8, but it's 5v5. Any bigger and people want massive, crazy battles where they can climb into something and try to go 100-0 by themselves.

?


Noobs will rush anything they think their good at.

OT- The main reason why people play BTB in the first place is to get into vehicles. Its one of the only playlists that acaully utilize them. Anything less is a dissapointment.

That just means that Boardwalk sucks major balls.

I'd like to play Big Team Battle in maps like Condemned, Tempest and High Noon without vehicles.

Every single BTB map should have vehicles without exception. BTB and invasion are the only vehicle playlists and vehicles are what makes Halo amazing if you ask me.

They made squad for this, squad failed and let me tell you why: no vehicles..

Boardwalk, countdown and atom never had any business what-so-ever in BTB.

I intend to live forever, or die trying,

so far, so good.

Halo BTB is mainly based on Vehicles. But some smaller maps are crazy with 8v8 and are lots of fun.

I love vehicles but happy to play BTB on smaller maps with no vehicles.

Objective games are great for this.

I always vote for Boardwalk, Trident or Wayont. Very little vehicle use in those maps, to bad very few people share my view. Unfortunately if you play Reach BTB you have to settle for sub-par maps and gametypes.

BTB in Reach is not even closely dominate on vehicle control like it was in H3. Mainly cause they are a joke in Reach and can be taken down in like 2sec.

Average drivers cannot dominate in Reach. Get a great warthog driver/gunner pairing and some support guys and it's game over.

Vehicles can dominate every bit as well as they did in Halo 3 but you have to have people that know how to use them.

Same goes for people taking the vehicles down. If you are versing a team of idiots then off course doing well in a vehicle is easy.

However when both teams are made up of good players (eg. BTB.net games) vehicles were effectively useless because a team full of DMR's shreds them.

Play Wayont, Boardwalk and Trident. Wayont is my favorite map and I always encourage my team to vote for it in BTB. Play with a team and that will solve most of your problems.

Agreed until Trident. Its too open for me, and randoms are useless on that map as well.

This is why I vote for Asphalt. It's not the best map but it's one where I don't have to use vehicles at all.

I'm more of an infantry player so infantry-based BTB maps are my favorite.

You got stuck by FalconStickr

OP thats why I always go for heavies because vehicles dont stand a chance. I also dont know why people vote for Hemorrhage so much. It is just the most boring match when I play it.

So basically... Waypoint is pro-vanilla?

Posted by: Sentox6
Waypoint isn't pro-anything so much as they're just anti-intelligence.

Exactly this. In any type of competitive BTB match, vehicles are useless because they are made of cardboard and will fall apart within seconds under team fire.
