They really need to increase the radius of the radar. Everytime I look at my radar it shows no enemies are near by, next thing you know they’ll be assassinating you. Reason being because you thought it was all “clear”.
The smart-link mechanic is pretty much useless because if you’re getting shot at, it’ll force you to unscope. I know it is really effective at long range but as soon as they see you they’ll start shooting at you which will make you unscope. It gets really annoying.

I generally like the smaller radar size…it would’ve been a great thing on Halo CE, 2, and 3. I believe the issue is, however, the inclusion of sprint. It has negatively impacted the benefits of a smaller radar size. Often I hear an enemy sprinting and barely have a moment to try to avoid before I’m spartan charged or hit in the back because they can fly into my vicinity with such speed.
Don’t get me wrong, sprint is a great feature to get across open areas or other map expanses to get us back into the fight quickly, but in close quarter maps, it has a detrimental effect. I’d bet that if sprint were removed from Arena, there would be a lot less griping about radar size.
The problem now is if they increase radar range it’ll take everyone a while to get used to it again. You’ll think someone is right around the corner and they end up being a mile away.
If you crouch you don’t show up on the radar,I’m guessing you get killed a lot that way.

Yeah you do get killed a lot. You try crouching to seek up to someone, and 90% of the time it doesn’t work because either your teammate gives you position away or an enemy comes along and kills you. Whilst you don’t show up on the radar, sprinting also means that people have less time to plan their move and go in for the kill.

Yeah,the problem I usually have is people sprinting away for no reason when I am trying to sneak up on them.
radar is fine as it is, its not suppose to be a crutch, and it forces you to not stay in one spot too long or else you run the risk of getting flanked, especially if you are standing still scoping in
The Radar is busted on this game. It’s awful. Just standing still for a moment causes you not to show up on radar. This is different from every other Halo game. With unlimited sprint and the spartan charge and boost the radar should be better. HALO REACH had the best radar. You could tell if someone was above you, below you or on the same level
In Halo 5 the symbol for above and below are the same it’s quite annoying.
