While we’ve known for a while now that Halo 5: Guardians won’t launch with a Big Team Battle playlist, many players assumed that the game would still ship with the Big Team Battle maps and they’d be available in custom games.

A tweet from Josh Holmes – Studio Head for Halo 5: Guardians at 343 Industries confirms that all Big Team Battle maps will arrive post-launch as DLC.

While it sucks that we won’t see proper maps for BTB at launch, it is reassuring to know that we won’t just be seeing reworked variants of the Warzone maps.

At this time, we don’t know if these maps fall under the 15+ free DLC maps coming post-launch. As always, as soon as we know, we’ll be sure to keep you updated.
