"This map is not compatible with the selected game variant" - a phrase that most of us have read at one point. If you are part of the percentile that reads this message and continues to misunderstand its meaning, you have come to the correct thread. With the announcement of War Games and its included features, several returning and new game types were announced. Below is a compiled list of those gametypes and their requirements to funtion with a design correctly.

  • Big Team Battle - Big Team Infinity Slayer (BGTIS) is a game mode that is included in Halo 4's matchmaking. Big Team Infinity Slayer can have a maximum of 16 online players, split into two teams: Red and Blue. BGTIS is not as competitive as normal Infinity Slayer and is quite laidback in terms of gameplay. BGTIS normally features big maps like Ragnarok (Valhalla re-make), Vortex and Meltdown, these maps feature a great deal of power weapons and heavy vechiles such as the Warthog Gauss and the Tank. The maps are medium to large sized and usually consist of two opposing bases.
