Radar is LARGER on halo 4

Why is the radar larger on halo 4 even WITHOUT any radar upgrades?

The range was perfectly acceptable in previous games, just seems like its been made larger to give players less to do in terms of being aware, again just making the game easier in my opinion. Discuss

Edit - I loaded up ragnorok(halo4) valhall(halo 3), recorded some gameplay with set positions in order to see whether the radar is bigger and it is, by quite a lot, this was without the radar perk thingy, i also wanted to see if halo 4 has more auto aim. im 100 percent on the fact tht it feels like it has more auto aim, ill look back onto the footage to check

There’s really nothing to discuss. You are right.

It might have been done to accomodate for the bigger maps and infinite sprint.

On the other hand I don’t know anything and really don’t know why any decisions were made

It’s true. I’m not sure why they made that decision but its not bad once you get used to it. You just need to be a bit more careful.

Its too combat the faster kill times and the other things that give players awareness like PV

sounds legit to me.

How much bigger is it? I never noticed, what was it before 25 meters or something like that?

“Yes, Boss!”

From a lore point of view its probably just an upgrade to the motion tracker.

Honestl I find myself using it more than other halos, maybe because its more useful now.

I believe the jump was to 40m.

This

You can see from Top Mid on Adrift to the Halls pretty easily. It’s just a little too long and they could just adjust it for general matchmaking with an update… it’s just too noob friendly for me.

Nobody is really complaining though. It’s just an observation.

Wow that’s nearly twice of what it was before.

Yeah i assumed it was cus of PV, dont see how kill times affect it though.

CE and H2, the motion tracker was 15m
In H3 on, the motion tracker is 25m.
H4’s motion tracker is 25m without the Sensor Mod.
Or am I missing something?

I think Halo 4’s motion tacker range is 40 meters…

it most certainly isnt, the radar on halo 4 is nearly double that of halo 3 WITHOUT the radar thing

Could be because of the bigger maps or it could be because they need a larger area to accommodate the motion sensor perk which expands the range of it.

What I also noticed is that you get a vehicle warning in the form of a red arrow before it’s on your motion sensor. If that’s not to accommodate new players, then I don’t know why they did that. It just shows how newbed down this game is.
