Descope on scope and ADS or just regular scope?
Time to get rid of the little "block" sign on your avatar then?
Can someone make my avvy with a red question mark instead of the circle with the red x please?

Halo 5 > 4 confirmed. Now to take down Reach, then we'll see if it measures up to the original trilogy.
I'd love to hear what you think making the weapon visible while zooming adds to the game. Because I can't think of a single good reason to add that kind of functionality.
Frankly I don't give a shit about what RE4 did, lol. I didn't play it and I'm not interested in the series.

If there isn't penalty to hip fire and movement when zoomed, why not just remove that feature altogether?

i prefer the original trilogy's zoom implementation, but i'll take the gun model over the dark black blur from halo 4. those scopes also have a distracting parallax effect when you move side to side.

I don't think there is a "regular scope." The descope is apparently purely cosmetic, and functions identically to traditional scoping, so it'd have to be on that.

Let sprint drain shield or something like that.
I'm aware of what you said. I'm firmly arguing against the idea that just because the gun is visible, it's a bad thing. It may not be your thing, and I'm glad they have confirmed hip fire won't be penalized because of it, so for you guys against it, you don't have to bother. People who like it have the option, though. That's is a good thing to me.
We call it "lower sales" and "quickly shrinking player counts"

Not being able to shoot and having the wind-up time *is* punishment. But no-shield-recharge would be a plus, and/or having to expend your shields to use it. If that could be balanced well I'd be fine with it.
zoom increases range.
BOOM.
Completely missing the point.
Because actually, it is about CODism in Halo gamingism.
Boom Headshot!!
My thought exactly. Easy to explain in the canon as well.

There is still sprint. We also don't know how Spartan abilities will play out. I don't think this game and the first trilogy are comparable right now.

Shield dont recharge while sprinting.

that would balance the feature itself, but the unfortunate problem of Sprint is more inherent in the way it changes map design and combat ranges.

He probably understands, he would flip a shit too if ADS (in the COD sense) were added to the Halo franchise.

What about the zoom they had for the rifle and the pistol in halo 2? That doesn't increase range? Haven't played since halo 3.

The first leak said that sprinting stops shield regen, IIRC.
First link, that's a grenade launcher and machine gun in one.

I don't agree with sprint, but lets wait for the beta first.

I can swallow sprint, it's bitter but I never really saw it leaving after being in 2 games.
just hope the default speed is decent. but I'ma go take a peek at the steam tomorrow before picking my MCC.
I REALLY have to see how 343 is making all this work, without making things redundant or game-breaking. They pull it off then I say we can hop off of their backs till the final release.

Sprint should come at a cost to shields, draining them all the way. That way, if you run carelessly, you're guaranteeing death from less damage. If you're already lacking shields, no sprint, as the fiction could simply state Spartan power systems are being diverted from shielding to powering a limited sprint. Maybe let overcharged shield allow as much as double sprint.

I like the halo scope mechanic on the battle rifle (not seeing the gun), but it doesn't really penalize zooming at all. So people can just zoom in, take advantage of the improved range and accuracy with pretty much no downside at all.
Adding the gun on the screen is one way of balancing that out a bit in my opinion. Maybe another way is to increase recoil when zoomed. But I like the idea of having balance on the different mechanics.
Also, my RE4 example was just showing how sometimes changes in a game series are for the better. And you should play RE4, it's really good.
This makes me really sad. The Chief has a legacy. He deserves to be the most important. We all have the most attachment to him. I don't think it'll be possible for me to like a new character as much as him in the span of only one game, especially when we've known Chief's backstory basically since his early childhood.
Following and building off that kind of massive backdrop for a character isn't just something you can just replicate easily.
