Updated 5/7/2024
Back in February, the Big Team Battle playlist was refreshed with some amazing new community maps. After that update, many asked to see those maps expand to other BTB offerings and I’m pleased to tell you that the next time you see BTB Heavies (aka today!), the map pool will have increased as we’re adding all the BTB refresh maps! You’ll be able to experience:
- Fortitude
- Insolence
- Obituary
- Refuge
- Thunderhead
Expect more chaos thanks to increased vehicular carnage and heavy weaponry spawns.
Additionally, the fan-favorite One Flag CTF mode has been added to Heavies so you’ll be able to play tug of war while you try to capture the flag.
The fun is here so get those reflexes primed and ready to jump into the fray!
We talked about it on the January livestream and it’s finally here…the eagerly anticipated Big Team Battle (BTB) refresh has arrived!
The biggest playlist gets even better with the addition of FIVE new community maps, nearly doubling the total map pool! You’ll be able to engage in vehicular combat with heavy vehicles but for those of you that prefer to hoof it (like me!), there’s plenty of room for ground based combat. As an added bonus, some of the maps might look a bit familiar…
But that’s enough rambling, let’s take a look!
Fortitude
Author: DarkSkull, CertifiedChamp
At first blush, this map looks pretty straight forward but, as we all know, looks can be deceiving. There’s a lot of layers to the center which means there’s ample opportunity for sneaky plays. But if you prefer to run ‘n’ gun, you can do that too!
Modes:
- Capture the Flag (CTF)
- Slayer
- Stockpile
- Total Control
PS – Don’t run straight over top middle. Or do. I can’t stop you but at least I can say I warned you.
Insolence
Author: xDTx Kaos, W0lfR3ign
If you like big booms and you cannot lie, this is the map for you. Heavy weaponry + heavy vehicles automatically increase the possibility of explosions. Fairly symmetrical in nature, the CTF battles here are going to be epic.
Modes:
- CTF
- Slayer
- Stockpile
- Total Control
Obituary
Author: xDTx Kaos
This map gives me some strong Halo 2 Containment vibes and I can hardly contain my excitement! Dual Wraiths, tons of other vehicle options, and lots of traversal opportunities by foot as well. No matter how you prefer to play, you have choices here.
Modes:
- CTF
- Slayer
- Stockpile
- Total Control
Refuge
Author: Cousin Tim, InfiniteForges, NightAvenger01, Micheal B 2K8
Refuge is what happens when Headlong has been left alone long enough for nature to heal. The overgrowth makes it hauntingly beautiful but the beauty can’t stop the imminent carnage that comes with this classic map.
Additionally, you may notice the qualification on the CTF mode below…yes, a one-sided objective mode has arrived! Shoutout to I Crush All for creating the mode.
Modes:
- One Flag CTF
- Slayer
- Total Control
Thunderhead
Author: DarkMaiming
Putting the emphasis on big, Thunderhead has a huge area of engagement for you to explore. If you happen to get the sneaky, up high, Banshee spawns you’ll have a bird’s eye view over the plain below you and you’ll be able to see who called for aerial artillery.
Modes:
- CTF
- Slayer
- Stockpile
- Total Control
Huge shout-out to the Forgers who are continuously creating these beautiful maps and great experiences to help keep things fresh and exciting. Grab your battle buddy and jump in and check out the refresh today!
More maps. More battles. More better!
