    I know the original intention was to show where players should go to get more kills in games, but now since Halo 3's been out for over a year, the heat maps are getting rather pointless. Look here, if the entire map is red, it just kinda defeats the purpose:

    Don't you think?

    Maybe if they all reset every 24 or 48 hours they would be more efficient, but I rarely use them.

    Every week should be more suffiecient. Because they are very pointless and 24 to 48 hours is to short to be utilized correctly.

    Think of how many times a map is played throughout matchmaking in one day. Maybe a three day reset time, but if it was a week, then you'd see something pretty similar to what we have now.

    This shows just for one person, not all of MM. Haha, if it showed all the games played by everyone, the whole map would be red, and there'd be a lot of red in random spots off of the map probably too, lol.

    I think after playing the game for a year though, people should know what spots are the best to stay around to get the most kills, just my opinion though.

    Agreed. Nobody really uses these things anyway do they?

    I haven't used this at all, but I can see the usefulness of it if you're in MLG or going into a tournament. You could check where your opponent is most likely at and then maybe check his most used weapons. I think they should have it refresh every 5 months or so.

    I didn't think about that, but that would be a good idea. It would be a great way to research you're opponents.

    I used them when I first started Halo, but that was when there was around the right amount of people to give a good representation of the average map kills. But nw after a year and a half, there's been tons of kills on nearly every inch of the map by now.

    i merely use them to see where specific weapons are used. they are still useful to me, but i can definately see your point.

    plus i also pick a weapon that isnt on the map and use the blank image as an overview of the layout to help me better my future designs.

    What I mean is the people that hide in places like that. HLG can work when it's done good.

    Yeah pretty much. There's some people that actually do sit in that tree and think they can't be found.

    I don't think I've actually ever hidden in the tree.

    HLG on guardian sucks, all the spots are known and if they get close enough your name jumps up in giant neon red letters in their face.

    Seriously. There's only a few certain maps it's good on.
