The only thing Atlas will help with is positioning. It won't teach you how to control the map, coordinate pushes with your team, or what to do once you come into contact with the person you've been stalking on your phone for the past 10 or so seconds.

It's a waste of time if you're trying to cheat with it.


So what about that one guy who's sneaking up behind you about to Assassinate you? With ATLAS, you'd know they were doing just that before they got anywhere close.


The thing about Halo is that if you if you have a perfect opening rush and your team sets up quickly, the game is basically over. ATLAS literally won't do anything. Sneaking up behind won't work if they are pinned down in there base by teamshot. Getting close enough to assassinate someone on a decent team isn't likely either because of map awareness and callouts.


You're under the assumption that games of Halo are always about a "perfect opening rush". In reality, few are like that.
Seems to happen all the time whenever I play.


Probably because you're a good player playing against players who aren't as good.

Simply put, it's going to help in some situations, and it's going to do nothing in others.

Bungie should consider investing in precipitation gathering nets for these forums. The sheer amount of tears shed by anyone who's been destroyed by armor lock, jet pack, grenades, and the AR could continuously operate hydroelectric dams, irrigate farms, and provide clean drinking water for third world countries.

ATLAS is retarded. People who care enough to be bothered by it are tryhards.

The I in crite is not pronounce as eye.

So, on the one hand I spell it out exactly as it should be.
You follow the standard set before you by fools who can't even get a handle on the rules of their own language.

Impossible - my K/D isn't nearly high enough to be a tryhard.

This. Unless you can look at it and play at the same time it's doing more harm than good.

Lol

I've been playing Reach on my new account and I have not yet once encountered anyone using ATLAS in such a way where they know exactly where everyone is at to the point where they counter every single attack my team and I make. And even if they did do this, all it helps the cheater do is gain better positioning. It's not going to affect that many games. Only a very few will actually be doing this, and the only players it will affect are people who are not good at the game to begin with. If there playing against smart people, ATLAS will barely be of any assistance in terms of cheating.

....spongy, bungie, who cares? I got mine!

ATLAS, IMO, was a poor move by 343 and Microsoft to make a little extra cash. Notice it's free on Windows (Microsoft OS) Phones but cost on iPhones (Apple OS) and Android (Google OS) phones?

$4.99 for iOs and Android and Free if you have a Windows phone. I don't call that Loyalty to customers, hell if Halo was still Bungie's, and they came out with this ATLAS bull-blam!-, which I know they never would have, otherwise it would already be out, I'm sure it would have been free.

I'm still under the assumption that the reason Bungie released Blue Flames under APPLES OS, and not Microsoft's is to big Microsoft 1 more big "-blam!- You". Remember how Halo was suppose to be a 2 series game? Well, you can blame Microsoft for Halo 2 getting cut in half and the second part being released as Halo 3. In the Limited Edition disk on Halo 2, I believe it is Joseph Staten is talking about production of Halo 2, and how "it was a [game] with [10?] levels, starting on Earth, going on this GALATIC romp and ultimately coming back to Earth for this Grand conclusion"

Well as he's saying all this, they are showing a white board with level ideas, one being "The Ark". But noooo, Money hungry Microsoft decided, "WE NEED THIS GAME TO SELL XBOX LIVE, -blam!- THE CAMPAIGN, And we have something new coming soon, Called the Xbox 360, we need all the fans who're in love with the Halo story to buy one, so cut the game in half and make us a 3rd one, 360 Exclusive." To drive console sales obviously.

Halo sold the Xbox
Halo 2 sold Xbox Live
Halo 3 sold the Xbox 360
Halo ODST didn't sell anything since Bungie were basically out of contract and didn't care.
Same with Halo Reach and Halo Wars.

Now, Microsoft is trying to do the same thing with 343, Adding Kinect functionality to Halo CEA. Big gimmick. The voice commands lag so bad behind when you say it it makes it useless. The only thing remotely cool about it is the Analyze and Scan features.

Which worries me about Halo 4. I'm sure they're going to try to push the Kinect sales even more and have it integrated, possibly (God I hope not) REQUIRED to use with a Kinect. Don't get me wrong, I have a Kinect, didn't pay a dime for it (Thanks Shopkick ;D) but it just doesn't work well with games other than sports games.

Blah blah, rant over.

Well, damn, I forgot to say what I originally posted for.

I don't really think ATLAS is useful in it's current form, for it to make ANY real impact and make people WANT it, it would have to literally show up on your TV screen while in game, kinda like the motion tracker.

I mean what, you expect me to take my eyes off the TV and look at my phone every 30 seconds? Or am I suppose to tape the damn phone to the TV? Hell ATLAS should come with a Velcro pack so you can Velcro that phone to the edge on your TV, unless you have one of those super slim edged Samsungs.

ATLAS... Where the -blam!- did they get the L? You can't ADD letters like that only take them away. "Assisted Tactical Assault System"

I might as well refer to myself as "T.O.T.A.L.L.Y. A.W.E.S.O.M.E." Since you know, I do have a T as the first letter in my name. The other letters, well it just sounds better than "T."

That's a retarded acronym.

Almost as dumb as S.T.A.R.S and W.E.A.P.O.N.

Then either they don't know the definition of an Acronym or if they're using that format it should be ADTLATSM
