I think you'd be happier with CoD or Destiny. Destiny? Hahahaha -Yoinking!- idiot no I don't want that. Of course I've played the game are you high. There's more to halo than BR battles, If you're that reliant or your radar that you can't react to someone running at you then you've been out played by someone.



















You, sir, are why we can't have nice things."Can't react to someone running at you..." Really? You can honestly say that after playing Halo 5? I can't tell you the number of times I've turned a corner, began walking forward, only to find myself being assassinated by someone who was apparently following me the whole time and finally got close enough to spartan charge me. There's no way he'll show up on radar because it is functionally broken (this is a fact), and the time is takes to cover 18m while sprinting and then spartan charging is about a second, I'd wager. I'd love for you to explain how to "react" to that. The fact that the dots are inconsistent, at best, and the red is so faint that unless you're staring directly at the radar, your peripheral vision won't pick it up, means that you can't just "react" to someone who's sprinting behind you.Now, to cover the other person's reply to you: Halo has been, and should remain being, about skill. This means landing your shots, out-maneuvering an opponent, or working together as groups to team-shoot. With radar being so small, inconsistent, and faint, it means players who choose to sprint blindly around the map and spartan charge opponents are free to do so, and are actually rewarded for it. In Halo 3, there's no way in hell you're going to just follow someone for half the map until they stop moving long enough for you to hit them in the back. Unless they are brand new to the game or don't look at their radar (making them lesser skilled players), you can't do it. But in Halo 5, you can easily sprint in circles on 343i's only plan for map rotation (all maps are giant circles/squares with a center area where pathways converge) and just assassinate people at will.The element of surprised comes from broken mechanics like Clamber, from crouching, from dropping down on someone, and from having a teammate by your side to help. Surprise should not come from the fact that the radar is there but doesn't function properly.
