While some people utilize it to get revenge, others use it to avoid that person (for obvious reasons). It\u2019s also useful when playing defense for seeing where an offensive player is going. On maps with limited visibility, Nemesis can provide a short window of intelligence in the movement of enemy players or teams, allowing a respawning team to react and steal a match. In play testing, we\u2019ve seen players trusting the extra information implicitly and falling for feints or being target fixated with the extra information and being lured into unfavorable situations. As with everything in Halo, this upgrade allows you to tailor your play to your style but remember that the enemy team is aware of the ability and will be countering and often using it or another option to tip the scales back in their favor.<\/p>\n<p><strong>HFFL&#8217;s thoughts:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Objective:<\/strong>\u00a0Radar showing who previous attacked you.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Subjective:<\/strong>\u00a0Hmm, I see this mod being exploited for all kinds of douchbaggery. Yet, I can see a downfall in that. Someone who is so focused on killing that person that just killed them may likely fail to see other things going on around them and be killed again. This is one mod I&#8217;m likely to stay away from. It will be one of the last mods I choose during reenlistment. It&#8217;s rare when I deliberately want to seek out someone for revenge. It happens, but I know it takes my concentration out of the whole game and hurts the team.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Armor:<\/strong>\u00a0Another good looking set of armor&#8230;oh but wait for it&#8230;the helmet. Sigh. Why did we lose large visors? I can easily see where this helmet could have had a much larger visor.<\/p>\n<p>I give you two examples.

I mean really, how the hell are these spartans supposed to see during combat? You can&#8217;t rely on armor alone. You need to use those military skills you&#8217;ve trained for all your life.
