Radar Discussion

Games Halo Infinite
1

I’d like to discuss Radar in its current state, and what people think of it.

Personally, I find it a useless distraction in most cases right now. The extremely limited range means that in most cases if an enemy is on the radar, they are already shooting you. This means that every glance is essentially just a distraction. If you get info that a player is near, you’ve most likely already lost the fight. If you don’t get info, you know nothing more than you did before the glance: no one is shooting you right now.
The amount of times I have glanced at the radar, seen nothing, looked back up, and immediately got shot from a spot that feels like it is easily close enough to be covered by the radar is incredible.

So far, this and “B” not being Melee on legacy controls have caused the most frustration.

yeah it still sucks.

Yep, range needs to be increased to 25 from 18. The first iteration was HORRENDOUS by having it be completely useless, but this is still pretty bad. Enemies come out of nowhere and it’s still contributing the problem I had with the last one; it’s still largely useless.

Agreed, range needs to be further, it doesn’t successfully serve it’s purpose with the current range.
By the time a dot pops up behind you you’re already screwed. By the time a dot pops up in front of you you’re already face to face. Right now it’s mostly just useful when someone is above or bellow.
The motion tracker is supposed to be a warning, so you don’t just randomly die all the time without the chance to do anything about it. I’d probably say 30 sounds good.

the game is feeling a little like a modified halo 5 with the lightning fast TTK and reduced radar range. 343i, please dont be afraid to distance this game from halo 5 as much as possible lol

I agree with this so much. If you’ve looked at the radar you’ve basically wasted your time.

the radar from the previous flight was better

8

I strongly agree with increasing the current motion tracker’s range to 25m.

9

Ditto. Radar range needs to go back up to 25. As soon as someone comes in range of the radar it’s too late, especially if they are running at you. Can’t even imagine that with an Energy Sword in hand of the enemy.

10

I agree needs more range, also would be nice to be able to move it to the top after a few thousand hours in Destiny sincle last seriously playiong halo

11

Didn’t they try an 18m radar in H5 and everyone hated it? The thing is useless. I think you hit the nail on the head. It’s a distraction and by the time I finished playing I wasn’t even using it. 90% of fights start outside it’s range. And the ones that do are over in a flash due to the ttk.

12

Absolutely -Yoink!- it’s like they didn’t ever make a halo game everrrr

13

Not to mention the lack of up and down carrots indicating enemy elevation. Those would be handy as.

i think this is present but in the form of different shades of red.

15

Radar needs to go to 25 and then we are set.

Everyone has more or less echoed my sentiment. The radar is useless as it currently stands and it needs to have it’s ranged improved so it can actually serve the purpose it’s suppose to have as an early warning system.
