The Battle Rifle is one of the most iconic Halo weapons, alongside the AR. But I hate the silly red dot sight, I think it looks incredibly ugly and it honestly makes the BR feel like a completely new weapon.
In addition, the lack of a scope makes it harder to tell what weapon it is when it’s lying on the ground. I can’t tell you how many times I ran over to pick up an AR, only to find out it was a BR, because the shape looks so similar to the AR without the scope.
Does anyone remember that some people were really upset when Halo 4’s BR had a square scope instead of a circular one?
343, I know how much you love your “Smart Scope” but please consider putting the real scope back on. I know it’s pretty trivial, but I think it’s important for the Halo weapons to have a consistent identity.
What does the community think? I would like to hear which you prefer.
I think it looks horrible with the red dot. Awful looking.

I’m so happy I’m not the only one who feels the same way! Nobody has even mentioned it, so I was worried.
I don’t like it’s ‘horns’. Both the BR and SMG need to have a visible reflex sight like in ODST as well.
It looks off, but it’d be worse with the normal scope due to ADS because you’d have the same issue as the DMR.
I think they should revert it to the Halo 4 scope. Not everybody may have like it, but it is undeniable that it suited the Halo 4-era battle rifle, and thus would also suit the Halo 5 one. The new scope is absolutely terrible.
It does look terrible, but so do many of the art choices that 343 has went with for both Halo 4 and now Halo 5.
One benefit is that It gives you better peripherals when you are scoped in. Good that it looks different than the DMR. The scope better fits the mid-range feel. And I’ve never felt like the BR has been a sleek or stylish weapon in the first place. I don’t have a problem with it.

Halo 4 especially. Everything UNSC cosmetically either looked like -Yoink-, or worse than it’s predecessor IMO.
Some things in Halo 5 look and sound pretty cool, like the recruit armour or the hydra - But then you have things like the nightfall armour, or the uber-generic light rifle sound effect.
I think the scope looks too rounded while the rest of the current BR is blocky. If anything the current BR sight would look better on the pre-343 BR.
Not a fan of the H5 reddot/scope it’s hideous
Yes, it is ugly. Bring back scope
It is, and this is my interest in weapons showing here, NOT A -Yoink!- RED DOT SIGHT. It’s a blue holographic sight.
(you might as well just ignore this)
I don’t mind the new scope look on the BR but I do like the Halo 2 anniversary one better

I don’t care what it is when it looks like crap.

No -Yoinks!- given about this post. Reddot or hologzZzZz
It looks horrendous regardless.
Yes and it needs more auto aim
