People hate it? I didn't think much of it.

Its an advantage that you purchase. Atlas itself is not a problem. The concept of who paid more has an advantage is a dangerous precedent to set.

Will the Legendary Edition of Halo 4 give the player overshield off spawn because they paid more? Bad.

When the game is over, the king and pawn go into the same box

I think it's a bit unfair to assume and leap to the conclusion that this sets any sort of precedent. It's a stand alone app. Not a feature imbedded within the game. I haven't seen any hate over it. Maybe just the price.

OT: I love ATLAS and what it is capable of, but it does feel kinda cheap IMO.

Because people can hack it and use it to display the other teams location which is bad for Arena/MLG.

It doesn't make that much of a difference for MLG.

I like the "cool toy" factor, but to be perfectly honest, I can't look at it while playing. Even when I have to reapawn, me panning, looking for the other team and making callouts is more important... ESPECIALLY since a good team communicates so you shouldn't have to look at a map to know where your own team is

The 343 forums suck. They're full of retarded kids and mods who got butthurt in the B.net forums for being told that they're bad.

From what I've heard, ATLAS gives players the ability to time power weapons and make a better map setup, which was originally something you had to learn how to do/time/figure out on your own.

I see it like how Armor Lock allows a greater window of opportunity to be saved by a teammate; something that was originally about teamwork and in-game knowledge is now handed to you by the game itself.

because shishka never put good maps into matchmaking, only the bad ones (see: cubed, vessel, that other godawful doubles one)

cubed,


Don't dis cubed.
cubed was one of the worst maps i've ever seen put into matchmaking, if not the worst

whoever designed that map and applied to have it put in ranked playlists, nonetheless, needs to kill themselves and destroy any trace of any forge map they've ever built.

I read some thread that said it was already 'hacked' to where it can not only show you teammate positions, but enemy positions as well. Dunno if it's true or not, but if it is then... stupid app is stupid.

knowing weapon spawn times by heart > having to look at a screen to see when they spawn

lol not being able to time weapons and know where your team is.

That being said, if it's hacked and used against me - ga­y.

As I said before, ATLAS is just giving the worse players something that the good players had to learn how to do: know where your team is and will be, and timing power weapons. It's like Armor Lock giving worse players teamwork.

Just because they know where you are doesn't mean they can out shoot you in a fight.
