I find it more enjoyable without the radar in competitive, I hope I'm not the only one that thinks this.

It is a scientific fact, a thoroughly researched scientific fact that the older you get, no matter how fit, your reaction time will get progressively worse. At 21 and at peak fitness your reaction time will be slower than it would have been at 19. The removal of the radar discriminated against older players. As older players have more disposable income it is imperative that Bungie cater for them rather than leave them at a significant disadvantage.
