Look, I’ve played Halo, alright? In this game I’ve caught multiple instances where they are in a full Sprint , jumping and what not but not showing on radar. It doesn’t help with the horrible spawns because again, its too small or won’t even pick up enemies In motion and fighting.
Plenty of times people are running at/behind you and they dont actually show on the radar. Dunno if its the lag or some crap, but its getting annoying because its so random in how its happening
I agree with this. I don’t think I have really ever been back smacked except when initiating a melee fight. I never stand still or scope for long. If someone gets me from behind, it’s because they really wanted to and went straight for me, but I’m practically always checking radar for red out of the corner of my eye just out of many years of habit.
If people are genuinely having people breathing down their neck at full sprint and not showing on radar, they need to use the instant replay or screen recording setup since I have a hard time believing that’s not lag or something, and submit that video to a 343 ticket. In fact, you should invite a friend to a custom match and have them chase you sprinting and jumping just to make it easier to record. If you prove that, I’ll take that as truth then

Well in that case thanks for the clarification because everyone alway talks about how important crouch walking is I guess I never thought about it. I took like 10 years off from Halo so even if I was aware of this mechanic back in the day I’ve most likely forgotten.
As for OPs issue, he might be raging about players like me. I always try to flank enemies engaged in a gunfight with my other teammates and go for the backsmacks while my enemies are preoccupied.
Edit: The radar also does have a very slow refresh rate. So you really cant trust it as it might be out of date or in the middle of updating when you look at it. The cycle seems to take a few seconds which is a lot in a match.

This is why we need Distraction medals back. I haven’t noticed them in game. It’s a solid strat, getting the jump on people when they’re shooting.

I don’t remember that medal. What game was it introduced in? But sure I’d love to be rewarded for being a sleazy and opportunistic player
Halo 4 and 5. Really was nice to see teammates get a Distraction medal instead of a yoink when you assassinated the guy shooting them. The person getting shot gets the medal for helping you get the kill.

Okay then I might have seen it in the tiny bity of H4’s multiplayer I’ve experienced. That is great. It should definitely be implemented in Infinite. I do a lot of team play and it would be great to guarantee an assist plus the medal especially if we get performance XP bonuses someday lol

I agree radar need to be improved but not if there crouching. Stealth needs to be a important choice but the radar needs to be useful too so they need to find the right balance but not do something stupid like removing
radar like they did in ranked.
Even if you don’t scope in, the radar isn’t much use, which is kind of my point. What’s the point in hipfiring if keeping your radar open doesn’t really help you? The radar is so limited that, as other players have pointed out, by the time you see them on radar, it’s too late.
Like I said before, you can use instant replay or screen record to show if you think it’s not working, or you can even watch the replay in Theatre mode to see how they got you. Just saying, I never had a problem with people back smacking me. It really never happens

I think 18 meters is btb. Its smaller in arena. Also the raidar is plenty for me to notice if someones on their way. In my friend group im always fastest to respond to approaching enemies. Also it shows the direction of enemies before they are close enough to show where they are. That was a buff they gave it recently.
