Everybody these days are now calling Halo’s “radar” a radar. It is NOT A RADAR IT IS A FREAKING MOTIONTRACKER. WHAT DO PEOPLE NOT UNDERSTAND ABOUT IT??? THE CHANGES TO THE MOTION TRACKER MAKE IT A RADAR, BUT IT IS SUPPOSED TO BE A MOTIONTRACKER NOT A RADAR. A RADAR IS WHAT THE MOTIONTRACKER IN PROVING GROUNDS. A motiontracker is supposed to detect all sorts of movement. Halo is partially no longer Halo with out the original motion tracker. Halo is becoming call of duty. Halo is the new cod. Ugh it’s all the noobs who wanted these changes…
Crouching is no longer crouching anymore. It is no longer a challenge to stay clear off the motion tracker because you can just walk and not be detected .
Great time to deal with ignorant people who complain a lot. Witch hunters bring it on!
EDIT
PS: I’m sensing some misunderstandings in some of the people who have replied. I’m not complaining about what it’s called I’m complaining about what it actually is. The motion tracker is supposed to detect motion no matter what unless active camo or crouching is in play. What I’m talking about here is the new settings applied to it. The proving grounds playlist is an example and I fear that these new settings are actually going into affect. I don’t like these new changes.
It’s still a motion tracker, it’s just a less sensitive motion tracker. It still detects motion.
A radar by definition can detect a person even when standing still, which Halo’s motion tracker does not do to enemies.
The only one complaining here about the naming is you.

The motiontracker only detects actions made by spartans just like cod. What makes it still a motiontracker? And what I mean by “radar” is not by definition. If it is a motion tracker then why are people calling it a radar? I know its common sense, but still it’s not right!
It’s shorthand.

I call it a radar because it’s shorter to say than motion tracker. The radar is pretty simple, when you move, you show up. When you shoot, you show up. It’s simple, halo isn’t ripping off COD at all buddy.

I get what you mean. I’m just a lil’ pissed like a four yr old because of how similar the two are these days.

Not as bad as Halo 4, but I can see the comparisons you can draw.
Lol, finally someone brings this up.
The railgun’s actually a coilgun, but no one cares, because THE NAME IS NOT THAT IMPORTANT.

Oh you better start caring buddy. These new settings might come into affect!

wow nice one. Now are you gonna post your opinion about the new settings or not? Don’t be irrelevant! Plus you just made an unreasonable judgement. “Nice” social skills buddy.

That’s not what this is about. Either post your thoughts on the new settings or don’t

So then what is this about? I read the OP and honestly it’s confusing as hell. First you go off by saying it’s not a radar but a motion tracker, which is an understandable mistake only made for better referencing, and then you just go off on a tangent and just shout “Halo is COD”. Granted, the original tracker is better than Halo 5’s by a mile, but I don’t think a change such as this could bring on one franchise turning into another.

If you don’t mean “by definition” then what do you mean? Some made up definition so you can say “Halo iz Call of Duty now!”?
People call it a radar because people don’t feel like calling it a motion tracker all the time and people still understand what it is. Also because Halo 3 has the Radar Jammer that affects the motion tracker, sooooo.
For the bold, it’s always done that. Right now the only difference is that it’s not as sensitive as before, so it cannot detect BMS movement. Just like how before, it wasn’t sensitive enough to detect crouching and slow walking.
Call of Duty’s radar can track targets that are not moving, because it doesn’t detect motion, it detects the reflection of electromagnetic waves. By definition and that one simple clause, it’s not the same as Halo’s motion tracker.
Its kinda like the smart link is not zoom. By any other name really, everything kinda all sucks together.
I do agree that it should be harder to stay off the motion tracker. That being said, the changes I think were made to let people rely on the motion tracker less rather than making it easier to stay off it. The extended range and picking up of spartan abilites also prevents the annoying Sprint +AR rush/Spartan charge that plagues people who don’t play with headphones (depending on TV audio, you cannot get audio ques until it is too late).
The non-detection of walking balances the extended range I think as well. That being said, I need to play more of this playlist, which is kind of hard as I cannot find matches in my region (Australia). I would use extended search, however that would not make for good testing as there would be atleast 200ms of lag playing on extended.
In regard to naming, it is still a motion tracker, it just detects motion above a certain threshold

You’re getting overly upset.
Woah, woah calm down there mother goose. There’s no need to yell.
Now. This post is all sorts of wrong. First, who cares about what it is called and how do you even know what it really is, what kinda of technology is it? How do you know it doesn’t send out radio waves or at least something close to them on the electromagnetic section. How do you even know that it is a motion sensor? It could be sensing sound waves from the suit movement or something along those lines. Link me to something that actually explains how it works (and ill see if that can even work). Otherwise dont correct people.
Second. Let me get this right. Because the motion sensor is changed this game is now like cod? WHAT?! Its not even remotely close to cod. One of my pet hates is when people say that halo is turning into cod because its clearly not. It might start sharing similarities that today’s modern shooters often adopt but that makes it a more generic (slightly more generic) shooter and not cod.
