Because it’s one step towards making SWAT Ranked…
Personally I think ranked should be Ar’s only no shields no radar No pickups and you have to get ammo from your enemies dead bodies… AND NO HEADSHOT BONUSES!

They used to have radars on the orginal launch of all the ganes up till reach in ranked play. It was always team harcore that lost radar.
I mean it doesnt really matter one way or the other. But past games have had ranked playlists with radar on.

I hope they’ll add some ranked play with more relaxed settings. It supports a wider variety of payers.
I liked MLG/Hardcore and now Arena… but not for every game. Far too intense. - it’ll be the death of me!
Plus AR starts are not good so I avoid quick play and BTB like the plague.

I had to turn dynamic off and used compressed audio
Haha I don’t think I said I couldnt use it.
i’d honestly like to see a game with Ar’s only no nade no sidekick no headshot bonus…
That’s the game I was playing when I was getting the AR commendation in H5.
honestly that to me would take real skill, peopel seem to think it takes more skill to use a BR I think anything with a headshot bonus like the BR is less skilfful than having to use something like the AR which takes longer to kill and opponent…
I’m going to sit on the fence and say both weapons take skill. A better player can master both!
Yes ,but I have to argue to people who say it takes less skill to drive a vehicle are wrong… it takes skill just another type of skill… I was commenting on another ‘ranked’ topic about how a truley skilled player will use whatever they have avalible and it seemed to me like some people said ranked is just rushing for the power weapon… well the skill is in countering the power weapon, most maps I don’t even care about the power weapon…
Skill sets - I know players that I’d never ask to drive the warthog in a scrim. They’d definitely be the gunner or the bomb carrier!
Honestly as much as I like being gunner I prefer being driver ,because to me NOBODY Drives like i feel they should I feel like when you drive a warthog or razorback you should NEVER stop in the open pick up people and go but the longer you stay still the longer you are in danger so I see no reason to ever stop most of the time unless i need to pick up a flag carrier or otherwise…
That would be wrong - the driver and gunner needs to terrorise the base so you give the flag runner a fighting chance of getting in and out.
depends on where the flag is in fracture one time it will spawn in the basement which is a very defensible position, also you don’t alwasy have a gunner since he is the most exposed…
But Radar is all about awareness… and thene there’s that little thing that nobody understand that it’s not a radar it’s a motion tracker and if you move slow enough the tracker won’t pick you up, there are ways to avoid the tracker like using active camo as well, and you telling me the tracker doesn’t promote awarness, tell that to modern radar operators today and then get back to me on the results…

No he’s NOT correct. The Ranked playlist in this game is the MLG/HCS/Hardcore playlist. Which like I said has never had radar besides in H5. There is no 1-50 type of playlist like TS or Doubles.
Yes, 343i pls add a playlist with radar or at least add footsteps sound (additional to the sprint footsteps) in ranked.
Otherwise (at least for me and my friends) a really important element is missing in ranked and that’s really annoying.
If you play ranked for competitive settings, then no radar is better.
Way more focus on your map awareness skill without a radar feeding you
information. It plays so much better without it.
I disagree, especially for solo/duos queue. Making use of the motion tracker is another element to include in one’s skills. It’s useful for reverse-jump-back-smacks and makes crouch-sneaking more viable. The spotting and callout elements for ourselves and teammates aren’t lessened by having a motion tracker. Halo Ranked has practically always had motion trackers, except for SWAT in Halo 5 if I recall correctly, and we should have it back again in Halo: Infinite.
You’re joking right? 1, they don’t need to take baby steps to creating ranked SWAT by removing radar from other playlists. 2, you’re just describing a terrible Call of Duty sans critical hit damage.
Takes less focus off of the gameplay...
I disagree. The motion tracker is an integral part of Halo’s campaign and multiplayer gameplay.
More skillful game without the radar crutch.
Removing elements to control one’s situation does not raise the skill ceiling.
No he’s NOT correct. The Ranked playlist in this game is the MLG/HCS/Hardcore playlist. Which like I said has never had radar besides in H5. There is no 1-50 type of playlist like TS or Doubles.
You started off incredibly wrong Jake.
i thought ranked always had radar? i’m not a fan of it without. it sucks not knowing where your opponents are. if i wanted to play with out a radar i would play swat or whatever its called. its kind of ruining ranked matches for me.
You said, straight up,
“It’s literally never had radar besides in Halo 5 unless you’re playing FFA. If you want a radar play social.”
1: The OP’s post title states ranked, everyone here is talking ranked, the game identifies the playlist as "Ranked Arena And you said ranked has literally never had radar. You state that this game uses the “MLG/HCS/Hardcore playlist,” and yet that playlist is not in this game…
2: Saying “If you want a radar, play social” implies ranked should never have radar, which you have said it literally never did but have since backtracked saying that the MLG/HCS/Hardcore playlist does not use radar.

how did you make the text colored?
With the current state of the game do you think I"m not joking??
agreed totally agreed
same with vehicles… Vehicles don’t require any less skill than walking it just speeds up that process of getting from point a to point b, and with friends maybe, your still not invincible if the case for not having vehicles in ranked was “It’s a faster way to travel.” then they’d remove sprint too.
