I was thinking the other day while I was playing Firefight what Multiplayer would be like if the Target Locator was a weapon available to use. I talked to some people about the subject and we concluded that it would only be used on large maps (BTB), it would have a 3 minute spawn time, and maybe has 2 charges. I actually think something like this could have worked out.
Would you ever consider the Target Locator a weapon for Multiplayer?
I always thought it was going to be similar to the civilian vehicles from Firefight & Campaign but I was saddened when they were not on the Forge World options.
The Target Locator would have been great, maybe not for Matchmaking maps but for custom games, my main concern with it originally was the frame drops, if you aim into a Wraith explosion, it can cause a fairly bad FPS drops, the target locator going off with its seven strikes would have resulted in bad frames for that time.
I’m guessing they left it out of Matchmaking for obvious reasons of unbalance.
As for Forge and Customs, I have no idea…seems like something they forgot to add before the game was released. Sucks really because it could’ve really helped with action Machinima.
Would be cool for customs. BTB would never be the same.
If it were in BTB, you could bomb the whole enemy base all at once. The Target Locator would not be well AT ALL and DOES NOT belong in multiplayer Matchmaking. However, it would be nice in Spartan Ops and Custom Games. 
I don’t see why it couldn’t be allowed in custom games
Griefers on your team would constantly charge into the “danger zone” on purpose and die just so that they could boot you.
