I envy you
According to thread, you only get to play as MC for around 10%
Even though he might be involved in the story, people want to play as him
MGS2: You play as Snake for the tutorial and then as Raiden for the rest of the game
Snake= MC, Raiden=Locke

God damn it. These companies just can't resist going against what made them great and ruining their games.

ADS means hip fire needs to be less accurate to make room for it. It severely changes how the game is played because not using ADC will be a handicap and the entire pacing of the game will change for it.
It's amazing to me that people don't want any new gameplay mechanics or changes to the formula for this game. Destiny has sprinting and ADS and it handles better than Halo gameplay wise (minus the lack of story and the repetitive grind), and it isn't nearly as strong competitively because of balancing issues. If anything Destiny proves that it's possible to tweak the formula but maintain the gameplay and feel of the Halo games that came before it. And the Halo assault rifles have always sucked because they were short range, inaccurate, and weak compared to the guns that did feature ADS like the BR and DMR. I don't get the hate.
And none of them are great games. Shocking, eh.

Didnt read through the entire thread but to me this might just be what happens when people need to zoom in on the battle rifle. So while it looks like ADS it probably wont be as important as in CoD. Lets wait till tomorrow. Or atleast until the beta.

Halo of Duty 5: Advanced Guardians. Not only they have a targeting system, they also have ADS. This is some hyper shit yo.
I'm disappointed 343i. I'm sorry, I can't hide it anymore...

They won't change a god damn thing mechanics wise. Geometry, weapons, and models will be the only changes.
You play like one level as Snake and the rest of the game as Raiden.

I'm glad that that Kmart.com deal today expired before I saw this. Was so close to purchasing one. My purchase was always contingent on what I saw about Halo 5 and this kills it all for me.
all shooters need sprint and ADS to be successful these days.
Right guys? Right?
Devil's advocate, GO was DOA on consoles.

Basically just saying that you get to play as master chief but barely. You are playing as Locke for pretty much the whole game.

What , in you opinion, is a great FPS game?
Why does hip fire have to be worse? Why can't it be like wolfenstein were there was no hip fire penalty??

You dare to call Bioshock bad?

Yes, that is a fundamental part of ADS. Added accuracy and lower mobility while aiming. If the game doesn't have those thing then it is just zooming in. ADS doesn't just refer to the ability to push a button to zoom in, it is also the other thing that accompany it.
Shinobi confirmed it's on almost all weapons that can use it
The arguement "Other shooters have it and Halo should have it, too." is so stupid.
Go back to your other shooter, if you want that stuff. Halo was never about this stuff, nor should it be. I play Halo, because it's different and not because I want the same thing in every game.
Also, it clearly showed in Halo 4, how that "chasing CoD money" and "make the game easier to casuals" worked out...
God I hope the Beta Feedback will overwhelm 343i with all the critisicm.

..and none of them have particularly great combat.

They said they wanted to make Halo 5 Arena style combat but adding these things would do the complete opposite.

Why is 343 pushing Locke so hard? Is he going to
replace MC?

Why does every FPS want to be CoD?
Oh well, at least I am not buying the collection for Halo 5 beta.

But look at CS's reliance on super accuracy, and it's history as a PC game.
To be a super devil's advocate, look at all the other Halo's, which were obviously successful.
Pretty much everyone who's upset about this news disagrees.

The sniper rifle, BR, and pistol have always been scoped weapons in Halo.

Hope the new Doom game uses ADS, cause I want everything to be as realistic as possible because video games.
Seriously. What a stupid argument. It's obvious ADS alters gameplay. Halo is about movement as much as gunplay. Tell me, how much precise strategic movement can you pull off when you have to look down a telescope whenever you want to shoot someone accurately?
UT, CS 1.6 Q3A/Q3RA3, Halo 2
You're hanging your purchasing choices on 7 or so seconds of footage? Ah well.
Exactly. 343 is already putting 4 of the major games in a collection already on the xbone. I don't understand why people would be against changing up of the formula.
Reminds me of people that are like "I like the old x" If you don't like the new sht, the old sht is readily at your disposal.
I care enough about Halo to be interested in smacking down a chunk of cash on an Xbox but after seeing a blurry , low resolution, off screen leaked , 7 second long leaked video of Halo 5.
I'M NEVER BUYING AN XBOX ONE EVER!1111
Why can't they just make a game that is exactly the same as Halo 2?!!1111

I hope CBoat appears and just posts "perkz" so that even more gasoline gets thrown on the fire.
Anyway, as someone who enjoyed 1-3, Reach, found ODST ok, and hated 4, these changes sound bad... But I'm probably never going to buy an Xbox One anyway so it doesn't concern me that much. Sucks for those that liked Halo because it was Halo and not CoD.
