Other than that, radar is just a cheap way of lazily finding opponents. Anybody on Halo for Xbox thats good will tell you the exact same thing. With it on, you can just aimlessly throw grenades at people.
well, there are two sides to that coin. one side of it being, like you said, "a cheap way of lazily finding opponents." the other being, that the opponents are too lazy to disguise their own movements or too narrow-minded to do anything but run and shoot. if you just want to run around, search and destroy, then i agree that no radar is better. but if you like to implement strategy and tactics, then i don't think you can compare the two. and actually, i consider myself to be quite good at halo for xbox, and i happen to not agree with you. and it's not "aimlessly throwing grenades" if you read your radar and can draw a conclusion as to where on the map the enemy is. quite the opposite, "aimlessly throwing grenades" occurs without radar, when you DON'T know where the enemy is.
