Halo 5: Guardians will launch with no Big Team Battle maps | Beyond Entertainment


It's free DLC, don't worry about that part haha.

Sucks that it's not at launch though.

I can't help but feel this will sell less than previous entries on 360 unless it's very heavily bundled.

Even if it was a great game, it'd have a hard time beating Halo 3 and Halo 4 sales. Both XBOX's and Halo's reputations are worse than they were last gen.

I'm honestly predicting some really low numbers compared to past entries. Will still be one of the best sellers this holiday at the minimum though.

Yeah I agree.  Going to be one of the best sellers plus Microsoft will bundle the shame out of it next year so they'll eventually announce big shipped numbers.

Quote from: 7H3 on Aug 16, 2015, 12:11 AMthat seems really big for Halo... how big are BTB matches?
16

Yeah warzone is their big huge mode that they're trying to push next gen with. It also has CPU enemies kinda like a moba.



That's also the problem with it. Warzone looks like a fun mode, but it's not even close to traditional Halo MP. No Forge on Warzone maps either.

Yes, but the 24 player MP mode is 100% separate from the rest of the multiplayer. It has exclusive maps.

then why are they holding back BTB?
this doesn't make sense they have a BIGGER team battle mode available at launch, but are holding back BTB?

Also 8v8 doesn't sound like a BTB at all...

Like VizionEck!

but how is 8v8 a big team battle? I don't understand why/how this would be delayed over the 24 player game mode...

Maybe the maps are bigger and more involved, or maybe they think the other mode is more fun and they'll run out of time so they prioritised the 24 player.
