ADS

why must we hip fire…are we too lazy to aim down sights? I think so, imagine being able to aim down your sights in halo. You would be able to kill more efficiently,I think it is ridiculous that after four games created 343 industries hasn’t even tried to input an ADS system. I beleive that 343 industries should at least have a beta where you can aim down your sights…many other games are successful with an ADS system. Like Battlefield 3 and Modern Warfare 3…many people will argue that MW3 is a recycled game which I completly agree with, yet Halo has recycled many things as well. Halo games have only improved on graphics, sounds and adding in another vehicle/weapon…All I’m asking is that there should be a trial run with an ADS system for Halo.

I agree, OP. Halo’s getting stale. It needs to keep up with the times. ADS adds immersion, is realistic, and perhaps most importantly, it’s a modern mechanic found in every modern FPS. Halo needs this to keep on livin’! There’s no reason not to include this great feature. Halo needs to, and will, evolve.

Exactly.
Also we should add some short of kill streak to it. Like a Shortsword bomber which would drop dozens of bombs across the map.

Sounds great. Perks and custom loadouts too-oh wait, looks like 343’s one step ahead of us.

The Chief, or what ever character we play in any Halo game, is always aiming down the sights, never shooting from the hip.

One thing that makes Halo unique among shooters in the lack of ADS, and I just don’t see such a feature working well with how Halo is set up.

You don’t understand. Shooting in Halo is supposed to be as accurate as aiming down the sights without having to lift your weapon and slow down. Think of the aiming reticle as a laser pointer. A spartan does not need to aim down the sights, the gun will always be dead accurate, and you will always know where the gun is pointing because of the HUD. Plus, if you slow down when ADS-ing, then you would not be able to strafe, and that would kill the entire point of Halo.

This is also why I don’t like the AR, since it doesn’t make sense why a gun would have any spread or inaccuracy if held by a spartan.

I stopped reading at the first sentence.

Lack of sprint made Halo unique, but psh! Uniqueness is overrated. It’s not needed.

this is just the extraneous BS that screwed up reach…

…the clutter is distracting…

lololololololololololol

Zoom, bro.

first off there are very few shooters to get the ADS system anywhere in the ball park of good, CoD ADS is too baby friendly, Battlefield ADS is too stupid, and everthing ells just copies these games.

secondly there are only two weapons fired from the hip in all of halo. one the brute shot and two the dismounted turret. everything ells is shoulder fire.

thirdly ADS would only benefit 2 weapons in halo, one the SMG and two the AR if it actually had sights. other than that every weapon in this game is perfectly accurate plus auto aimed with the reticul

fourthly Spartans have neural linked targeting systems that out call iron sights in every way shape and form.

Maybe they should add prone and death streaks too !

This brings up an idea I’ve had. What if all the weapons, including the AR/SMG are dead accurate, but the inaccuracy comes from the recoil.

Absolutely not!

I’m just gonna aim down the sights of this here Plasma Rifle, or this Rocket Launcher. Ohwait…

ADS in halo?

Wouldn’t that make halo too much like cod?

It’s too early for that, that’s straying to far from original Halo mechanics.

Get the -Yoink- out of here.
