After 8 months of play I still find the zoom-in animation in Infinite so jarring and disorienting. I didn’t remember having that issue in old Halos so opened Halo 3. What a difference! In the old animation your FoV zooms in on your target smoothly. You continuously see where you’re aiming. It’s a bit hard to describe so the best I can say is try it; do some sniping in Halo 3 and then go back to Infinite.
I don’t know if the animation is the only issue. I wonder if aim sensitivity timing is also making Infinite’s zoom so disorienting. What I mean by that is at what point does your aim sensitivity change from default to zoom setting? I think in Infinite that change might happen late in the animation. So as I’m zooming in my sensitivity is still default (high) so by the time the animation is finished my reticle is way off from why I intended.
I would really like it if the old zoom in settings were used in Infinite.
