Ok btb is a joke. The BR is so much easier difficulty wise than the pistol, dmr and even the ar. Btb needs to be pistol starts with DMRs on the map.

They haven't been on consistently since the BF1 beta hit.
Hell it would be nice if they'd just throw pistol starts in with BR starts. I think given the opportunity, the masses would see the light, and 343 could adjust the weighting accordingly.
I remember in the Beta people were asking for BR starts in 4v4, they tried it, everyone agreed it sucked in comparison and here we are.

Related, here is the most magnificent airborne snapshot betrayal of all time from last night.
Soo... either there is more autoaim or magnetism on teammates than you would think, or my thumbs have reached their peak and I should immediately retire.

Halo 5 forge is one of the first pc games where I wish that my mouse had more then 3 buttons, and I don't normally think about mouse buttons in games.

If BTB were a ranked mode, I'd agree, but since it's just a goofy fun social mode, it's fine for them to start with a casual-friendly heavy aim-assist weapon.
I really like that new Dispelled map. That TimeDipper guy has a ton of good stuff in his bookmarks.
96% of the way to that dumb helmet. At least BTB provides tons of opportunity for multi-grenade kills.
I feel like the BR takes the goofy, fun, out of it, since you can hardly move around the map, and vehicles are quickly rendered useless...

Which is probably why the btb refresh includes almost every map having buffed vehicle variants and increased cover. Viking is a good example.

When you spawn the SPNKR EX to kill some Mythic Hunters.
When you get killed by a shielded Grunt with a Void's Tear ten seconds after spawning.
When you realize you've got a 30 second respawn timer, so the SPNKR's gone by the time you respawn.

Btb with br starts is fine. Could be better with pistols but if a team is getting stomped by weapons and vehicles then how is a pistol suppose to destroy or put damage to a ghost, warthog, banshee, or anything else. Halfway across the map a pistol is useless unless you are a god with it so people will out class you easily. Pistol starts is good in theory but idk how it will work out. Least with brs everybody is at least on a mid leveled playing field. I would like pistol starts but fear what matches could turn into. Also dear god no dmr starts. #fuckthedmr
A Pistol is capable of picking people off of vehicles, it just isn't nearly as easy to accomplish as it is with a BR. If the players on the opposing team can outclass you that easily with the Pistol, the difference is going to be even more apparent with the BR.
Believe I've said it at least once, during a pre-release Halo 5 thread—around the time the beta hit, I think—that getting a handle on those BR and DMR spawnpoints should also play a part in map control, not just the power weapons and vehicles.
Don't know what made Microsoft think this one-sided following was a good thing. This ain't Twitter, doesn't need to be anything like Twitter.

Since a short while after changing my Gamertag, I've been getting them almost daily. Sometimes I get flooded with Minecraft invites. I've blocked all those people that have followed me since, that have unusually low gamerscores, and have played hardly anything beyond Minecraft; same types identified in that thread I linked to.

SPNKr Prime is more fun to use versus Spartans, but when my team's got a Mythic boss we need dead, SPNKr EX is what I turn to.
SPNKr EX: kills Mythic bosses dead

I don't really mind the maps. They just need to fix the fps drops, apparently it has something to do with an old update and they are working on it.

Anti freeze had a ton of drops.

Yeah, its awful when you are used to stable FPS
That's good really good to know. will surely make vehicles more enjoyable even if being on foot isn't as fun as it should be.
Like the labyrinth one?

Random thought, whoever placed the spawns on Mercy/Haven must've been a spawn wizard. If I made that map in Forge, I would lose my mind trying to put spawns down, so seeing as how I never have an issue with the spawns on that map, I am impressed.

Ultimately it seems like the best solution would be to tone the aim-assist or magnetism on the BR down to pistol levels.
Either that or some kind of damage drop-off or accuracy spread at range to keep the BR from dominating open spaces.
I'm honestly not sure why they decided to crank it so high for that particular weapon.

Then it just becomes another magnum. They could reduce the amount of aim-assist it gets for sure, bringing it down to magnum levels means the magnum won't be at a disadvantage when you put the two against each other.
What if it fired projectiles instead of being hitscan? And maybe a random bullet spread for the other two shots in a burst?
No, that's stupid. Who'd be dumb enough to implement that?
I'm teasing, but dropoff would actually help a lot for BTB and WZ.
Simple: it wasn't meant to be a weapon you could spawn with outside of Warzone.
