Funny enough. The range of the motion tracker is 30m nowadays.. and why would that be?
Thanks sprint.

If you were in the preview before Xmas, you can play with no disc.

What a joke.. I should be offended, but I'm not surprised by this ignorance.
Guess it doesn't matter that we won that game and I had most kills, most assists (by a large margin; frequently put up double digit assists, I love that medal while many players complain about "stealing kills") and least deaths lol

Your 1337 pro MVP skills not withstanding, its pretty clear you are a shitty team mate.
You let a team mate get 2v1'd and die so you could record some sort of "fail". Then you tea bagged him.
I mean, I dont know what you expected people to say. All I see in that video is the same kind of BK you could find in a million CoD/Halo games. All thats missing is some yelling in the mic.

What the hell is wrong with you? I'm glad you aren't ever gonna be in my party. You should have popped out there and helped your team Or flank around to get the enemies attention. Instead your instinct is to sit back watch your friend get double teamed, die and put your genitals on him. What the hell?

This new motion tracker sucks because it shows if people are above or below you - or even on the same floor - it shouldnt show all of that info. It should be just a red dot. Im pretty sure this started with Reach (or 4) and now has carried over to every game since including H2A for some reason. I like the vagueness of the classic H2 radar - more balanced that way.
yeah, i'd greatly prefer to go back to old style, basic radar

It was literally one. single. time. because I wanted to see how that outcome would turn out.
What the hell is wrong with you guys? Did you forget how I had your backs in previous discussions how super hardcore players love BR starts and how I want AR/Magnum (buffed Magnum) starts? Jesus, stop being so insensible.. This is the problem with you super casual players, you lump anyone who's remotely decent and somewhat competitive into this category of insane tryhards who want to turn this into some super serious sport with no fun allowed..
Stop being a plague.

i dunno if that was the right choice of words, but it definitely provided less information then the later games, 5 included. i cant stand these smug "my opinion is better then yours" attitudes a lot of you guys have regarding this game we all love.

Huh? They DID change the radar! They made it even more OP!
lololol -- Nahh, but you're right. Make all these controversial changes, yet don't change the one thing that is so obvious in its detriment to gameplay. Such better solutions out there.
EDIT: And I apologize for my smug attitude sometimes, but put our shoes on for a second. It's difficult to cope with when you have people telling you you're filth because reasons while lacking consideration of that person's history and feelings.
The feels are real ;'[

Holy shit guys, bow down before the halo god. We are mere plebs that are not worthy of his support and adoration. I'll go back to playing COD now. Sorry I wasted your time O Great One.

Never said I was pro, but some of you are clearly defensive about being bad at Halo, no offense. It would save us all a lot of time if we cut through the bullshit and actually add substance to our posts.
EDIT: Over, I was saying in general with the franchise, didn't know you were only talking about 343/Halo 5 lol

The game always plays better with motion tracker off but I only see that being added to a hardcore/pro/mlg playlist. I don't think a regular team slayer playlist in any game except CE in MCC is played with radar off.
That being said I logged onto MCC yesterday and noticed the Team Hardcore playlist was up. Played 5 matches in a row and loved every minute of it. I don't think it's the BR starts that lead to defensive play, radar plays a much bigger role in that.

Camo Spartan wtf
Not only does Orion have that fucking STUPID ass glaring sun (which spartan visors should be able to handle and have in previous Halos...)
But the lighting engine can do some weirld color things. This spartan might as well have some Camo AA on or something

You could have easily supported your team mate and taken the guy down and both survived.
IMO, the crying shame is that Halo5, is SO dependent on team work and people don't use voice comms.

The data center thing is what every MP shooter developer should learn from Respawn. The server and netcode part of Titanfall is near perfect as a modern MP shooter.
Spartan armor turns grey when it's in the shadow sometimes for some reason. It's pretty dumb.

^ His grenade hit a tiny piece of geometry and it bounced back lol. Sucks, and it happens all the time.
I did that for science, just in case you don't read the discussion above this post.
Wonder if it's related to their WIP PBR shader. :s

It looks like most of the light infomration in shadow is done through their ibl/cubemaps. Hence why people turn into the color of stuff around them. It is kinda realistic I g uess.

I prefer the elevation stuff on the new radar.
It gives an already powerful radar even more power.

Not sure how I feel about radar, but I do know its not worth fighting over. If any developers were reading this for extra insight, surely theyre long gone now.
I'm not a fan of radar but I wonder how halo 5 would play without it. With sprint and clamber it's much easier to move around the map so callouts are less effective. With no radar, even if you know where the enemy was 1 second ago, in a short amount of time that player could have gone from bottom mid to top mid to top blue (Truth map). The excessive amount of movement options could lead to much more assassinations than we're used to.

If I'm ever assassinated I compliment the player and don't complain because it's my fault for not being aware of my surroundings. It's very difficult to get in on players in this game with the lower kill times, so if players are competent of not having their back towards the open or where their teammates are and don't remain in one spot for too long, I don't see it being much of an issue.
Definitely not more of an issue than people thrusting into cover and watching their motion tracker. Also, don't forget about Spartan call outs and the friendly indicators for when teammates are under attack, they aren't in the beta but hopefully will be for launch.

Even if it does happen you lose 1 point from it.
Breakout has no radar
Radar has always been trash, and is the biggest crutch in modern FPS. Slap a silencer on any weapon in CoD/BF, and watch how easy it is to flank people, lol.
I hate that flanking in this game is pretty much impossible, and anyone who says it isn't, is playing trash tier players.

Yeah, it would work for unbalanced objective gametypes (1 flag CTF, Assault) but it doesn't work well for team slayer.

When does this end? I don't have my Bone until tomorrow morning and desperately need to play this.
I love motion tracker and ar starts, but I only camp with the ar and smg, not those cheap one shot kill weapons. Btw I also aim down with the ar.
19th I believe.
Heh, Ninja sharing his thoughts on Orion's glare.
I had the opposite problem earlier, some of the shadows completely hid some of the players. I think one of the 343 guys tweeted their were lighting issues to be fixed, but it can't hurt to reiterate this stuff.
They should maybe take a look at Standoff (Halo 3) to see how to do low-angle sun lighting...
...or something.

I'd be comfortable with a shorter radar range. It'd prevent a lot of accidental team-shooting and team nade chucking.
It's supposed to be a personal radar, not a radar for your team to huddle up in a room and start carpet bombing the area with nades.

Pegasus & Orion aren't even bad maps really, it just becomes impossible to break setups because of...wait for it...radar!!
Both of the maps have great power weapon setups to fight over, people always move to those locations when they're about to drop. More than I can say for Truth.

Opinions on these two seem to be all over the place but I enjoy them, and agree on the weapon set ups. I love the risk/reward of being the one running for the hydra.
They both have bad spawns at times. The problem with Pegasus is the top is extremely easy to hold, because again, you can't flank or surprise anyone when they can see you coming from a mile away on radar. The problem with Orion is that the sniper is too easy to use, and again, like Pegasus, it's hard to make any moves on the map because of radar. The red base is too easy to hold as well, get ride of the house. I'm not a big fan of the windows, I feel like those should be able to be shot out or something, like the Truth cover. It's way too easy to duck in and out of the house, creating stale, standoff-ish gameplay.
