'''Big Team Battle''' (also known as BTB) is a [[matchmaking]] playlist in ''[[Halo 3]]'', ''[[Halo: Reach]]'', ''[[Halo 4]]'', ''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]'', and ''[[Halo Infinite]]''.<ref name="josh">[http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=168591108&postcount=9516 '''NeoGaf''': ''post #9516 by Josh Holmes'']</ref> 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.{{Ref/YouTube|Id=ShowcaseExt|L7ZCGAUSCAU|Xbox|Xbox Games Showcase Extended|Y=2021|M=6|D=17}} Big Team Battle orients towards the large, vehicle-based maps and involves both straight [[Slayer]] and objective games.
Big Team Battle exists in both [[Halo 2]] and [[Halo 3]] matchmaking. In Halo 2, it is an unranked playlist, although it had previously been ranked. Ranked and unranked Big Team Battle playlists exist in Halo 3; the ranked list is known as '''Ranked Big Team''' to both distinguish between it and the unranked list, and due to name size limitations in the Halo 3 software.

Known as Social Big Team, this is a social playlist in ''Halo 3''. There were both social and ranked BTB playlists, before they were both replaced by Squad Battle in the September Title Update. Social Big Team Battle was then replaced by DLC Big Team. When that playist retired, the current Social Big Team playlist came into play. All [[Map pack|DLC]] is required to enter the playlist. Team size is set to 6-8 players, with a max party size of 16.<ref>http://halo.bungie.net/online/playlists.aspx?mode=1</ref>
