Blundered

Hardly blundered. The post specifically said it can be impossible to tell what's round a corner based on the radar. If you're in a Chat, you can call that kind of thing out, but if you're playing solo good luck finding people to talk to, even with the update. Which means the only way to find out is to see for yourself, and eat Suros for your troubles.

Come on.

If you had perfect information about enemy position and movements, the game would be much less fun. Imagine playing an RTS with no fog of war seeing what your enemy is doing at all times. Part of the fun and challenge is that you don't have this info, so you must find a way to gather it, or take a risk. You can use teamwork, sneaky tactics or whatever else you can exploit.

Likewise, you can get a leg up by hiding your positions from the enemy.

The radar SHOULD be just a ballpark, not an exact locator. You are right in that having a fireteam is really helpful. When I play with the DBO crew, we always call out who has heavy ammo, where the snipers are, who's a bladedancer and golden gun, etc. They've saved my ass many times.
