The radar is so pathetic and not halo

The “actual point” you were making is irrelevant beyond the drivel I replied to. (Which, by the way, your “point” is still there if you hit the little down arrow in the top right corner. Chill.)

“Get good” is a completely asinine retort to what I had said prior, which to jog your memory was that MLG standards should not be THE Standard. If I want to play MLG, I’ll go and play MLG playlists. And if you think that there shouldn’t be a motion tracker in games because it’s a “noob crutch”, then you just stick to “Pro” games that don’t use the motion tracker.

But the “get good”? Yeah, we don’t need that here. That notion needs to die a swift, hard, and painful death.

Firstly because this is - first and foremost - a game. I know to many of the 2007 Leftovers, Rank is excessively important and the pinnacle of achievement, but most people going to play video games just want to have fun. Even in Ranked games, because some like the gametypes, some like earning ranks at their own pace, and I would wager most like playing other gamers at their own skill level. That was, if you remember back, the whole point of Ranked. A good portion of those players are bound to use and enjoy motion tracker.

Secondly, and hand-in-hand with the first, people like to play at their own pace. Yes, even in Ranked games. Ranked isn’t a leap from 0 to PRO, there are - and this may come as a shock - Ranks. Some of those are going to be below you, some above, and there should be zero expectation to be among the Top Ranks or just not play. That is just massively disrespectful, juvenile, toxic, and a myriad of other bad things that need to -Blam!- off entirely.

Again, if you don’t want motion tracker, stick to the gametypes that don’t have it. Stop trying to raise the skill gap beyond many player’s abilities for whatever-damn-reason, and force those who just want to enjoy the game to endure frustrating domination matches to fuel your pride and ego.

There is radar? Weird have nonide where to look and find it.

With that said 343 is doing a terrible job at listening AND responding to issues brought up.

Like this terrible outline and invisible effect of gameplay. Essential things of gameplay that makes it what it has always been and why people love it and keep coming back.

They have literally thousands of threads and topics all over to include Reddit to get feedback like the rest of us use. The knee jerk reaction and response about the xp issue and sent a new build out. That didn’t address the bad gameplay issues which they clearly have nerfed up.

Just google some of the topics here and you will see the same topics over and over that the 343 egos have ignored and think they know best.

They have done a great job so far of tanking a franchise with this long anticipated release.

Your first point is the only one where I can agree “isn’t Halo”. No 1 hit kill with oddball or flag is stupid. Grenade spam has always been a thing for this series as long as I’ve played it. And would you rather have no replacements at all? Players leaving matches ruin the experience and bots atleast give the team a chance until new players join. Unfortunately 343 doesn’t seem to have implemented this mechanic yet.

So ranked?

Git gud, not my problem.

It seemed fine in all the others games

Grenade ‘spam’ is always a thing in a game that lets people accumulate multiple grenades but not at this level and not in every team-fight. Grenade spawns are everywhere and the game is nothing more than a grenade fest, especially in oddball. If you get hit with a grenade you’re likely going to get hit with 2 or 3 more which wasn’t as much of a worry in previous, good, titles.

Yes, I would absolutely prefer no replacements at all. Bots are NOT a benefit at any way in PVP. They are nothing more than easy kills for other players and they are crap at objectives. Go play against bots and tell me they serve any purpose. It’s not just players leaving though it’s 343 being trash and starting us in a match with only 3. I’ve had matches where we didn’t even have 4 players.

Yes another post about increasing the radar…I like it hopefully 343 is listening. At the very least they could at least make it 20 meters and I agree with it not being ranked
