"8 on 8 Big Team Slayer and Objective action."
— In-game description for Halo: Reach's Big Team Battle playlist

Big Team Battle (also known as BTB) is a matchmaking playlist in Halo 3, Halo: Reach, Halo 4, Halo 5: Guardians, and Halo Infinite.[1] Matches involve two teams of eight, making it the largest players by total player count. Halo Infinite increased the player count to twenty-four, with two teams of twelve.[2] Big Team Battle orients towards the large, vehicle-based maps and involves both straight Slayer and objective games.

Halo 2

Big Team Battle existed in Halo 2 as an unranked playlist, though previously ranked.
