As the title says, Please bring back the Zoom-In Sights for the Original Handgun, so it’s the same as the Original Halo: Combat Evolved Handgun !!
It’s what made it one of the best guns in Combat Evolved as it made it very flexible against various targets !!
As you’ve made the difficult decision to Delay the Release Date for Infinite now, until sometime in 2021, you have the time to add this feature into the game for us !!
I hope you can do this for us as I know I’m not the only Halo Fan that would love to see the Original Handgun brought back in all it’s glory !!

I’m not sure what you want here do you want the original zoom? Or the aim down sights (ads)?
The OG Handgun in Halo: Combat Evolved had a Zoom-In function (by pressing the joystick-in we can toggle the zoom in and out) when aiming with it, which made it possible to accurately hit mid-range targets without having to change weapons…This helped to make the gun more versatile and it’s still one of my go-to weapons in the game !!
I’d love to see this weapon make a return, in all it’s original glory, in Halo Infinite somehow !!

They said they want the ORIGINAL zoom back from Combat Evolved did you guys even read the post? Come on lol and you both have 3 likes on your comments so 6 other people also didn’t read the post… They aren’t saying they want ADS from Halo 5, just to clarify. It’s fine if you don’t agree but give the OP the proper attention to actually read what they wrote before attacking!
ADs is not the right term. Mentioning “ADs” will refer to the Halo 5’s aim down sights. What the OP really asking for is the original zoom-in aiming function.

It’s not their fault, OP used the term “ADS”. OP needs to educate themselves on the difference between ADS and Zoom.

OP must have edited the their post then my bad. I was definitely scratching my head but it’s making a lot more sense now lol. On topic, I wouldn’t mind if the zoom function stayed on the left trigger but had a classic look to the scopes. Although 343 did just announce custom controller mapping so people will be able to do whatever they want for that most likely. If I’m remembering correctly I don’t remember the AR zooming in at all in the July Demo. Might be some evidence that not all weapons have that function in Infinite.
Easy solution? Give us a toggle. The ADS in halo 5 behaves identically to zoom in classic halo. the ADS in halo 5 is simply a cosmetic choice by 343. On precision weapons there is no difference between the old halos and halo 5 for the ads zoom.
So 343 should honestly just give us the option to use ADS skin or classic zoom skin. The amount of magnification the mechanic gives you would be identical between both. the only difference would be how it looks. I really dont see why 343 would force us to have one or the other when we can have both.

It’s not a skin in all cases though. You can get magnification with the default AR and SMG, for example, using ADS in H5. None of the games prior to it allowed you to do so. You had a zoom available for weapons without a scope, but that was more for looking around the area rather than helping you aim better.

It’s not entirely true that classic zoom and ADS are interchangeable, as, once again, the modern ‘improvements’ bring about a disadvantage. A primary complaint about ADS is that the weapon blocks the view of the player, compared to the classic zoom, where nearly the entire screen is available to see. Not only would it be jarring to watch different people use different zoom styles, but the ADS crowd will end up disadvantaged because almost a sixth of their screen is blocked by the gun and scope.
To FatalDragon69, I assume you’re referring to giving the Halo Infinite pistol the zoom style and magnification of the CE pistol. From what I’ve seen of the Infinite pistol, it seems to lean more toward the Halo 2 style of high fire rate and low range. This brings me to the conclusion that 343 wants to make the Infinite pistol more of a sidearm than a primary damage weapon like CE and H5, and a scope would likely make it stray from that function, so I wouldn’t bet on seeing its return.
With a scope, however, I could see the pistol become a pretty well-balanced starting precision weapon, as its high bloom would make it excel in close/mid range encounters and struggle at long range, thus prompting (gasp) a search for other, better weapons!

"On precision weapons there is no difference between the old halos and halo 5 for the ads zoom."^Thats why i bothered to type that.
There no zoom on auto’s in previous halos so when i say the zoom in halo 5 is identical for precision weapons like in previous halos im only speaking on weapons with the same behavior in halo 5 vs previous halos. Obviously zoom on AR and other autos is not in previous halos so thats not really what i was referring to.
Thanks Shawnk9512 for saying that, I appreciate it, far too many people don’t fully read or try to understand what people write on here and many other social media platforms’ chat rooms Etc. Etc. !!
Anyway, just to clarify, I DO understand the difference between the ADS and Zoom-In, I just made a mistake and wrote both in my original title and for that I apologise as it’s very mis-leading and confusing…I would change it but I can’t find out how to edit the actual title, I can edit the main post but it won’t let me touch the title !!
Anyway, I just wanted to add that I’m ONLY talking about the Zoom-In Function on the Original Pistol that Master Chief Starts the game with in Combat Evolved (first gun he gets)…We could Toggle the Zoom On/Off (In/Out) with a Press/Squeeze of the Right Joystick and it made the weapon a short and mid-range weapon with that zoom-in function which made it powerful and versatile, especially as it would fire the gun as fast as we could pull the trigger…Basically the gun is Awesome !!
That’s the Gun and Function I’m talking about people…NOT ADS ok ???
I REALLY Hope 343i does bring this gun back for us somewhere / somehow within Halo Infinite !?!?
Anyway, I Hope this clears-up any confusion, which I apologise for instigating it, I usually proof-read my posts but I guess I didn’t with the OP for some reason, maybe I didn’t have time, don’t know…Sorry people !!
PLEASE 343i DEVS BRING BACK THE ZOOM-IN HAND-GUN FROM HALO: CE
EDITED to fix a dodgey bit of spelling…Doh !!
Hape I goot thim aal !?
