I’ve been waiting for Halo to adapt the aim down the sights model for a very long time. I think Halo has a great opportunity to do something innovating with ADS and the Spartan’s HUD system. Another possible option could include an artificial intelligence to help with targeting and battle tactics. What do you think about ADS’s in Halo? and what kind of system would you like to see in Halo 5?
ADS does nothing positive for Halo combat. From a lore point of view, it also doesn’t make any sense, since the armor and weapon are linked, meaning the Spartan doesn’t actively have to aim down the weapon’s sights.
Wait wait wait your saying that the aiming should be like every other modern FPS. Nah no thanks. Also Spartans don’t need to aim down the sights because the HUD displays a reticule. Guns and Armor are linked so no aim down the sights.
ADS adds literally nothing beneficial to the game and would make Halo even more generic. No thank you.
Time was your ally, human. But now it has abandoned you, for what you say is heresy, like the rest before you it would not benifet halo.
I completely disagree. I’m not talking about copying and paste what other games are doing and adding it into Halo. I’m talking about using the HUD and doing something new. I’m not saying putting the ADS from Call of Duty or Crysis and adding it to Halo, I know it would be criticized. But if you have the futuristic HUD why not do something with it? But as far as I’m concerned Halo needs something new. The hip fire model is dated.
OP, canon aside… this would be one of the absolute worst things that could ever happen to Halo. Ever.
This would decimate Halo’s gameplay so drastically, I cannot even describe in words the level of damage it would cause.
It’s so obvious how terrible ADS would be for Halo.
I’m completely against ADS for this game. I don’t see the need for adding more foreign mechanics into Halo.
Something completely original and innovative would do some good instead of this.
How would that be beneficial at all?
Ha. This thread should get locked before OP gets flamed. Halo will never and should never have ADS. Ever.
So keep the same model of hip-fire and scope? Don’t you think that’s a little outdated?
> So keep the same model of hip-fire and scope? Don’t you think that’s a little outdated?
Does that matter? ADS would be a completely terrible mechanic for Halo. Just because every other modern FPS (CoD, BF, and all of their clones) has it DOES NOT mean it would be good for Halo.
I put it in the same boat as sprint. You can call games that don’t have sprint “outdated”. I don’t really care. It’s a bad mechanic for Halo that does not benefit the game at all, and it only exists here because other FPS games have it.
ADS works fine for games like CoD where 3 or 4 shots kills your opponent. It would be awful in Halo. There’s nothing wrong with the current aiming system. Don’t “fix” something if it isn’t broken.

And that is pretty much what it boils down to. Including it because “everybody else is doing it” doesn’t improve on or innovate anything.

So hip-fire is outdated huh? Let me ask you something.
Wouldn’t ADS technically be “outdated”? We have ADS in CoD, BF, Destiny, Titanfall, etc. and just because we add that to Halo makes it new and innovative?
I understand that you think its time to change but this has been in Halo since CE.
It would be like taking the Assault Rifle or the Warthog out and replacing them with something else.
I felt like Halo was missing something when the Plasma Rifle was taken out in H4. The PR has been with us since CE. Canon was the reason it was gone. 
I know comparing weapons and vehicles to mechanics is not the best example but I think you can understand what I am getting at.
I’ve been playing Halo since 2002 and I’m more than ready for something new. I don’t think my opinion is all that popular but I still feel like it’s something that needs to happen. We should get a look at the Halo 5 beta at Games Con this week. We shall see.

No wait wait wait. you don’t understand duuuude. It’ll be just like call of duty!!!

I’ve been playing halo for 2/3’s of my life. If you want new go find it somewhere else. They’ve already ruined it with FAKE NEW things such as ALL the COD elements that have been added that have obviously kept the population soooooooooo hiiiiiigh.

I doubt that we will get Beta info. Maybe I am wrong though.
You could provide everyone with an inspiring speech about how you think ADS would change Halo for the good. 
You should provide some good reasons too.
Besides the normal-
“Its old” and “All the cool kids are doing it.”
Trust me. It won’t change to ADS. There is no reason.
“Wouldn’t ADS technically be “outdated”? We have ADS in CoD, BF, Destiny, Titanfall, etc. and just because we add that to Halo makes it new and innovative?” Well, I’m glad you asked. No, because in my post I talked about adding hud integration, which would be new for not only Halo but for all modern shooters. Did you even read the post of just reply off emotion? People hear ADS and freak out… I said not to copy and paste what Call of Duty and other shooter are doing, I talked about doing something that hasn’t been done before.

But ADS is not “new”. Its been reused and recycled in other FPS’s, much like sprint. Not to be a -Yoink-, but it sounds like what you’re looking for is a different shooter.
