I have always supported 343 since they took over form bungie, but they response to the 18m radar is horrendous. They argue that the less skilled players don’t use the radar, so they’ve made it worse to make things fair and equal. The idea should be for lower players to get better and improve, not make the better players worse. Everyone has a radar right?!
Now let’s get one thing straight, the radar needs to change. In previous Halos you died because the enemy generally outshot you, or out smarted you. Now it’s because players can sprint around the map and given the awful spawns, you have no idea where they’re coming from. I’m not saying I want it spelled out to me where opponents are. The destiny radar is great as it gives a rough idea. This game feels like COD. You die because you were shot first, based on the other player being lucky enough to see you first, not because they were the more skilled player.
Now onto 343’s reasons. Lower skilled players don’t use it, so it’s nerfed. Let’s get rid of the sniper rifle, because more skilled players can use it better. Let’s scrap headshot damage, because lower skilled players can’t hit it as much. It’s a ridiculous concept. The idea of lowering skilled players ability, rather than raising the lower skilled player’s ability makes for a very uncompetitive dull game. It’s like skilled based comminism! 343, I backed you until now, but the difference between you and bungie has just become abundantly clear.
