It’s fine for Quick Play, but if you aren’t even going to give us Ranked Slayer at least make it more appealing to seasoned players and stop baby’ing the community

Ya’ll should get ranked slayer. Push for that. Keep this try-hard-mlg-seasoned-wanna-be-pro-player mentality nonsense out of causal playlists.

You could always tape a bit of paper over the bottom corner of your screen.
Hey presto. No Radar.

The fact there’s no Ranked Team Slayer is absolutely unreal!! Quite possibly one of the stupidest decisions I’ve seen 343I do in a long time, if ever. Rank team Slayer is always top three in most played playlists since it’s been in a Halo game. Just think about that for a second…and it’s NOT in this game 
Now, this said, social slayer should have radar, Ranked Team Slayer should have radar (same settings as social but ranked) MLG/HCS playlists should be whatever the pros want. If they want no radar then it should be no radar in those playlists.
I’ve said it once, I’ll say it again, there are TONS of people who want to play Ranked Team Slayer with weapon variety, light vehicle play and radar. Aka just like how Halo 3 & 5 had it. There was a reason why that playlist was so popular in both those games and that’s why.

Even from someone who grew off Shooters well before Halo that had players relying on quickly assessing the situation they’re in before entering and tracking players through skill doesn’t want the motion tracker completely removed from Halo matches.
It’s fine where it is.

I also think you should just fight for Ranked Team Slayer. As much as I love not having a radar, because people are hilariously helpless from backsmacks without it, I know I would hear endless complaints from the same people that demanded the radar get increased in range. Most casuals are practically worthless without staring at the radar the entire match, which is why I like how sweaty and campy Swat can be
Personally, I like radar. There are a few reasons, but perhaps the biggest is that I dont need to wear a headset and listen for footsteps while playing.

Even thought that people like the radar just because it prevents people from just camping the entire time? A lot of people don’t like the camping.
And if you want to camp, you still can. I have had a lot of times where i just surprised enemies because you can stay of the radar when you crouch.
Just relying on your radar is even a bad thing to do. The radar sometimes gives you wrong info. Last week i was going after an enemy and i saw him going left behind a corner, but the radar showed him going to the right… I have also had the radar show people behind me, while in reality they where in front of me. Or even people who where sprinting towards/around me and not even show up on the radar…
The radar is good for knowing someone is around, but if you want to be sure about where exactly, you are better off just listening to footsteps and get visual confirmation in my opinion. The radar itself is just way to unreliable to only use that for tracking positions.

I’m not a fan of the radar and never have been but I don’t think enough people share that point of view to go and remove it from a popular playlist.

If you’re saying campers need radar to tell when players are coming, that’s not true, because otherwise Swat wouldn’t have campers. Just wear headphones and listen where footsteps and gunfire are coming from.
If you’re saying the camper’s prey like radar so they can tell when someone is camping, then that’s even less true. Anything that doesn’t lower active camo, like standing still, crouching, tiptoeing half tilt, etc, won’t trip the radar, unless you’re on keyboard, full tilt, sprint, jump, shoot, or anything to make noise. A camper won’t be doing any of that if they’re waiting behind walls and doors, or in corners.
Neither of them NEED radar. It’s only good for tracking someone running away.
Radar needs a complete rework, where you shoot = you’re being spotted, even from a distance the same way sprinting currently does. And… that’s the only thing that should show your position, nothing else, no walking, no running, no climbing, no nothing, that’s how a radar was brought into online gaming, that’s what works, what’s been proven over and over to work, and that’s how it works in all the successful games out there. Whereas in Halo, for whatever the stupid reason, it works completely opposite, shooting does nothing, on FFA the killfeed is constantly rolling while the radar remains dead silent, this is just plain awful and irrational, whoever designed ot and came up with the idea should be peermabanned from working in video games industry, it’s this bad.
Thats how the radar of halo works since day one. with the exception of adding seeing if an enemy is on the same vertical level as you.
I prefer playing with no radar as well, but this statement is just hilarious xD

How about put radar into arena so we can get a population back. This minority HCS niche crap is boring.
Halo needs full ranked playlists with full sandboxes and radar… then bring MLG settings when we have a population.
Right now HCS is redundant without a population.

objecttve modes and slayer require different skills. bad to shove them in 1 playlist and expect balanced matches
the radar has such a short range now it leans more towards the camper since when you are in range for them to see your dot they are probably close enough to strike. i think they should go back to normal range or more preferably remove it. plus going from btb to 4v4 is not consistent and is throwing me off a lot.

no, that is not what i am saying
no, that is not what i am saying
i don’t even know how you came to one of those conclusions when i said that a radar PREVENTS a lot of camping, Your ‘conclusions’ both side with camping, while i clearly claimed the opposite. Perhaps you didn’t read it correctly?
It prevents a lot of camping, because a lot of people will use the radar to know if players are around them (even though the radar will not always tell when an enemy is behind you). This means that they can play a bit more careless and therefor won’t camp. Without the radar you will probably see more camping, because a lot of players will be afraid of getting an enemy in the back, so they will want a wall behind them as protection.
You basically replied back what I just said, after saying that I was wrong, with your defense being that people will play more carelessly. You clearly don’t understand that people camp because they WANT to camp, not because they’re afraid. Is this the only shooter you have ever played?
The one consensus in this thread is that Slayer should be Ranked. Right now the weekly playlist is Social Slayer, which seems redundant as TS isn’t ranked, so what is the difference? face palm
Social Slayer should have Social Grab Bag modes, like Ninja Slayer, Kong Slayer, Shotty Snipers, etc, like Big Team Social. It’s not generic Team Slayer. It’s party games.

No. You don’t make a social playlist like a ranked playlist just because you want a ranked version, but don’t have one. What you do is demand a ranked team slayer playlist. Keep making noise about the things you actually want and not settling for changing something that’s already there to fit your wants.
