So I read the new updates in the news… The motion sensor change is complete garbage. The only change the motion sensor needed was a range boost from 18m-25m. It hardly worked in the first place, every two-four games it’d actually pick up motion.
I think this new “motion sensor” (They shouldn’t even call it that. It’s not a motion sensor anymore) is complete crap. It’s a terrible idea and shouldn’t be out in halo. It doesn’t make it more competitive, adding more stealth options isn’t the smartest idea as it’ll slow the pace down even more. Which was a problem in the beginning and why nobody wanted a proper health/health pack system. Player’s already visually scan the 3D space to find targets more as the motion sensor is only 18m, and hardly detects motion. Running with a sword doesn’t show up, spartan charging doesn’t show up, Ground pounds, whenever someone is directly behind me the motion sensor has a blind spot and I can’t see them on that. The only time the motion sensor works on a semi-consistent to a consistent basis is in Custom Games.
This new radar( I’m refuse to call it a motion sensor) is just like in every single game. CoD specifically. A lot of halo fans have left the series because it feels too much like CoD, now this is being added on. I’ve been told by people who support this that this change will bring the original halo lovers and competitive atmosphere back… It won’t bring the original lovers back, and the competitive atmosphere will be too easy to be apart of. Everyone will be good at the game. The only way I can see this being balanced not letting everyone be good and stealthy is to make Spartan Chat mandatory, you can’t take it off anymore, and whenever the spartans talk it shows up. That is radar, picks up communications and other stuff via electromagnetic(more advanced) and radio waves.
I’ve seen a lot of bad things be taken out of Halo. No good automatic gunplay, unbalanced aiming. Aim Assist and Bulet Mag being brought back into the game when it wasn’t there in the beta(s). I’ve also seen a lot of stuff that needs to be fixed in halo games, as well as H5:Guardians, ranking system is weird, if I play against diamonds and onyxes in my 10 placement matches, that means I’m a platinum 1-word? Lagging out means I automatically lose and derank even though it wasn’t my fault it was the “servers”. And I’m also banned because I “quit”. But the main one is the ghost bullets that can shoot through walls and stronghold beacons. I can’t count anymore how many times I’m trying to take cover and I see the bullet travel through the wall, hit and kill me. This needs to stop long before Motion Sensor needed a change.
Motion Sensor only needed one major change. A boost of range from 18m- around 25m… and for it to be actually reliable and consistent. I like the idea of making silenced weapons not showing up and that spartan abilites actually show up on the motion sensor, becaue they’d don’t currently. But don’t get rid of the motion sensor… It’s a motion sensor, it detects motion.

Sorry that I’m ranting, I just love halo and what halo is… This doesn’t need to happen. They Motion Sensor was never a problem, and I think it should’ve been in the competitive community a long time ago as it makes things both easier and harder. As well as more fun.
