Quote:Not having a radar is actually an improvement, I think. I always thought that the radar made the games too easy, and you often looked at the radar instead of the main game while running around. Having a radar in lush jungle landscapes would kind of defeat the purpose, you know? The AP detecter or more than enough.

That's what I wanted people to depend on instead of the radar so in the jungle I wanted people to listen to the grass moving or noise and so that's why I got rid of the radar.
