If you have ever been stuck with a group of no mic randoms it’s likely everyone on that team would run around like a group of chickens with their heads chopped off, but the addition of Spartan and announcer callouts it helps raise team awareness and coordination. I think It can actually help players get better or at least help make things a little more competitive. I can see how some will quickly grow annoyed by these, but they are a good addition overall.
I agree!
I agree that it helps you when you are playing solo, and I can even handle it catering to new players by telling them when your team has the power weapons and when they are coming back, fine, even though that takes away getting better at the game by knowing when weapons respawn and where they respawn. What I don’t like is that it tells you when you outnumber someone and where the other team is on the map. I was just watching a game on twitch and a guy was crouched hiding under red base at midship trying to sneak up on the sword guy and the sword guy ran right past him and didn’t see him but his Spartan (not his teammates Spartan) told him where the guy hiding was so he turned around went under the base and killed him. That needs to change, the guy hiding didn’t even come into the sword guys crosshairs, I didn’t even see the guy hiding while I was watching the stream yet the Spartan told him exactly where he was.

It’s not a perfect system, but it does have a certain balance or fairness to it
The callouts are a good addition for new players and for solo players, but with good teammates it starts to become clutter.
Spartan Callouts should be a menu option. I treat it similarly to ‘tip’ systems in other games so adding a toggle should not be unreasonable.

Yeah I agree, just after watching that makes me think objective games are going to be impossible to catch the other team off guard. Im sure they will make tweaks to it.
completely agree. after the first minute of gameplay with kids not using a mic i immediately fell in love with the spartan callouts. the game seems to flow better because of this for whatever reason.
You’re stating the obvious OP, however, the other chatter - the mindless 'watch the ‘nade spam’ and the other stuff like that needs to go.
