not sure if this is common knowledge or not, but i spoke with ske7ch very briefly on twitter last night, and he informed me there will be an official annoument(update) about it today!, and we should see the test in next week’s patch!
fingers crossed it is going to be a 25m test.

Ok, that would be great.
Haven’t known the exact date they’d do it but they brought it up a while back on testing it yes. Not so sure about a 25M test (it played awful in the beta at 25M) but more so where the use of abilities is what will make you show up on the tracker.
I like the idea of only abilities and shooting coming up on radar for competitive, but from a social standpoint I’d prefer a radar closer to the 20-25 meter range.
Hopefully we get a good clarification in today’s Community Update

I personally much preferred the beta’s 30m range, but I understand why players more oriented towards the competitive side of things prefer a smaller radar/no radar. After all, competitive Halo never had a radar before, why not keep it that way?

Well I am looking at it at both sides. Personally team Arena should have no radar and everything else can have it. Most competitive players will play TA being how that is the playlist 343 use for advertising competitive play.
As for the non competitive side I still think 30(was it 30 tho? Been so long I can’t remember)would be an issue. In the beta you could see people on radar across the other side of the map which I find issue with. The current radar lets you know when someone is pretty much on your location but you can’t see far out, both have issues depending I guess. I guess if the beta was 30 then they could see how 25M could play out.
I don’t think they’re going to be strengthening radar, but instead making a modified version of it for Team Arena so that if you use spartan abilities you’ll show up. Pro players have been asking for a nerf or for radar to be removed completely for a long time.
It would be nice to see motion tracker’s failings finally be addressed. Limited range and the fact that it doesn’t work half of the time is annoying.

and on the flip side, non pros you know the other 95 plus percent, have been asking for the radar to go back to halo 3 style. now that they seperated ranked and social, maybe both sides will be happy!, but we won’t know untill tonight either way.

They haven’t said anything about buffing radar as far as I know, but it has been mentioned that radar testing similar to what I described will begin after HCS this year.
Do you think you can post a link to the conversation? I skimmed through ske7ch’s tweets and didn’t find anything about this. Thanks.

the return of 25M is here as well as the “only when you shoot or sprint” and spartan abilities pop up. tooo hype for tuesday
Finally some good news any word on some new maps not these tiny semmectricle mirror image maps we have now if we didn’t have Spartan abilities they would be good sized but we do and it makes the maps to small
