I count on packet loss to keep my gun fully loaded.

I have wondered about this a long time. The best idea me and a friend came up with, was two perfect spheres hung in the armor (they would be very small and could be say in the chest plate and back plate) that move with changes in the gravity. Since they could discount the walls (by tacking into account the layout of the building) and their teammates/friendlies, it seems a good option. Anyone else got some other ideas?

I always thought of it that the radar just read the signals from everyone's neural implants. If they read friendly its green, if its covenant it shows up red.

I always thought it was just a sensor that can track movement, simple as that.

Do you know what kind of hat I'm wearing?

A party hat; you don't get one. An honor will this party be, a party in your honor, for your honor. Some of Tfear's personal guards are going to be there. You'll be introduced shortly.

Prepare to die.

I assume it uses 3 doppler radars that triangulate the position.

It does this by beaming a microwave signal towards a desired target and listening for its reflection, then analyzing how the frequency of the returned signal has been altered by the object's motion. This variation gives direct and highly accurate measurements of the radial component of a target's velocity relative to the radar.

Vengeance only leads to an ongoing cycle of hatred.

It tracks your motions.
