"In just over a week, the BTB playlist will hit Halo 5's servers.  The playlist will launch with four maps, three of which were a collaboration between community cartographers and 343's internal development team.  More details will release on the maps at a later date, but for now you can catch a glimpse of each and learn a bit about them in the latest community update.

Deadlock: a reimagination of Standoff created by Nokyard in collaboration with 343


Guillotine: a reimagination of Headlong created by The Psycho Duck (who even likes that guy?) in collaboration with 343


Recurve: a reimagination of Longbow created by The Fated Fire in collaboration with 343


Basin: a reimagination of Blood Gulch and Valhalla created by 343


So, that's what we have to look forward to in about a week! Who's excited for BTB and Forge?"

Ass poorly as  Psychoduck managed TheHaloForgeEpidemic and drove the channel into obscurity, He is stll one hell of a talented forger.

The million dollar question is, are any of them not going to play like absolute shite? Based on previous game experiences I'd be surprised if they don't.

You mean the absolutely brilliant experiences on Headlong and Standoff?  I'd be obliged to agree with you there.

I can't believe it, they are remaking my favourite map, Longbow

If 343 starts cramming matchmaking with nothing but forge maps I will flip my shit

As long as it doesn't glitch the fuck out, I'm happy we're getting BTB in new spirit

Here's the full changelog.

Something about more 'personal tuning' on the controls soon too...

Something about more 'personal tuning' on the controls soon too...

They explain it in the link I posted.

They're separating horizomtal/ vertical sensitivity and allowing users to customise a "deadzone"

I was hoping 343i would put the effort into some real maps for BTB.

I'm guessing they're trying to promote forge and get BTB out quickly, while they build proper maps for the free DLC.

It's about damn time we see those friendly separatist grunts again. When it comes to treatment of the grunts in the Arbiters faction are they equal to the elites like the heretics in Halo 2 or is there still a racism thing going on? I know for the covenant they are treated like shit so do the elites still show some bigotry towards the grunts?

One of the intel logs is recorded by a Sangheili talking about his Unggoy squad leader. Dunno if it's Covenant or Swords, though.

But I believe the Swords likely treat all their soldiers in equal roles,but they only employ Sangheili, Unggoy and Mgalekgolo so eh. We know they employ female sangheili into their ranks so I wouldn't be surprised if other species got a same role as their main troops.

I was hoping 343i would put the effort into some real maps for BTB.

Frankie said something along the lines of "This isn't all we're doing for BTB"

They'll definitely be making dedicated dlc maps

That's all I want.

Nice analysis.

The Grunts preferred to work with the Elites rather than the Brutes. The Elites were more respectful towards the Grunts while the Brutes were the ones that treated them like shit.

are all the BTB maps just Forge shit?

are all the BTB maps just Forge shit?

Seems like it, with a combined polygon count of about 5. Like seriously, Fallout 3 has better textures then these parts.

"Hey guys we're shipping Halo 5 with 20 multiplayer maps!"

"Of course 10 of those maps are just variations of the same 2 maps, and the rest are just shitty forge maps"

REC PACKS GIT YER REC PACKS ERE!

REC PACKS GIT YER REC PACKS ERE!

If the maps are forgeshit I'm gonna be pissed

Still, they were never fighting by your side in battle, just the interactive missions. I wanted to see some grunt on grunt action during the Battle of Sunaion!

The one thing that I wish was explained in the game was Chief's hallucination on Argent Moon.

Cortana, how were you able to contact me on the Argent Moon?

The Domain John! Once it was fully repaired it was easy. That's one of the perks the Librarian gave you on Requiem- call it telepathic communication, if you will.

And then maybe in the next game John would start to see visions and hear the voice of Iso-Didact. Finally the Domain is repaired...our time has come to assist you during your species greatest trial, Reclaimer Imagine finally finding him and a small band of surviving Forerunners, Iso would lead you to Forerunner tech and weapons to help defeat Cortana and make sure humanity achieves the Mantle. Maybe he would even help you find Mendicant Bias.

The Sangheili were only a bit more respectful towards them because of the Unggoy Rebellion. They still treated them like shit though.
