valyou3 Posted March 24, 2012 Report Share Posted March 24, 2012 (click image above for detailed Information) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ssABeeTkdfo Halo Atlas Details Weapon and vehicle spawn locations for Matchmaking and Firefight games Health pack locations Near-real-time locations for weapons and vehicles during Custom Multiplayer games Your location and that of your team members displayed on the map ‘Follow me’ mode to track your movement Dynamic player list, including current score for the teams and each player and equipped weapon for you and your teammates My Atlas Review Pros Shows 'your' Location (Real Time) Detailed Maps, great for strategies (satellite & illustrated views) Item Locations, Weapons, Grenades, Vehicles, Health Pack Custom Games, Real Time weapon spawns, location's of enemies Shows Teammates Location, Death ‘Follow me’ mode to track your movement Doesn't show enemies in Matchmaking (Balanced) Doesn't show Real Time weapon spawns (Balanced) Dynamic player list, including current score for the teams and each player and equipped weapon for you and your teammates Supports all maps (DLC) Cons Depending on connection will have 2-3 second lag (Real Time) Zooming in and out of map can cause lag (Zoom in map enough to your preferences) Doesn't work well with Custom Created Maps Above you can view the main detail such as pros and cons I couldn't exactly find much cons about it. I love it. I couldn't find much to complain about except mainly the custom maps. But its new technology that works very well! I prefer using the illustrated map view to view the map better for actually traveling. If you have $5 plus tax so just less than $6 to spend than I would suggest doing it. If you can tell me some of your own cons and pros it will be considered to add to the list. If you have any questions feel free to ask! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lᴜᴋᴇ Posted March 24, 2012 Report Share Posted March 24, 2012 It is alright, however I tend to find that it lags a lot - which it will always do. Getting realtime stats on player location/weapons spawns will never be instant on another device. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolute Dog Posted March 24, 2012 Report Share Posted March 24, 2012 I am going to move this to the GD for you. It will get more looks there and better feedback from the members. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure it is a question of what device you are using - more just the general servers and speeds. I don't regret buying it - it is a good purchase, but I think the only way to truly know is to try it yourself. It doesn't cost a huge amount of money. Having said that, my experience may be different from other members, so I'd wait and see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AgentLoFi Posted March 24, 2012 Report Share Posted March 24, 2012 I like it, but I don't use it very often. For me it was hit or miss on lag, sometimes it would be very close to perfect and other times it was useless. I do like the detailed map information and if your very competitive it will help build strategies for maps. It does kinda stink that it doesn't give you detailed maps in forge world ex. Pinnacle, Uncaged, ect. I will also say that i didn't pay for mine as it is free for windows phone users. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But at least I'm getting some feedback which is what I wanted. I like it, but I don't use it very often.

Lolmenade Posted March 25, 2012 Report Share Posted March 25, 2012 I tried to use it but it ended up being useless to me. I'm not saying it's bad but I have no use for it. EDIT: Isn't it free? I got it on my iPhone for free I'm pretty sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lᴜᴋᴇ Posted March 25, 2012 Report Share Posted March 25, 2012 Isn't it free? I got it on my iPhone for free I'm pretty sure. I'm pretty sure that one map, powerhouse, is free on iDevices, but you have to pay for the rest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spectral Jester Posted March 25, 2012 Report Share Posted March 25, 2012 Atlas is good for learning the weapon locations. Don't use it for anything else, plus I was quite lucky as atlas is part of the waypoint app on a wp7 phone so it was free Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
