Classic Aiming

Games Halo Infinite

Hope they get ride of the Iron Sights/ADS and go back to classic Halo Aim. Not everything need to be a COD clone!

I don’t really care as long as they ditch universal scope. Only weapons that have an actual scope or sights should be able to scope.

I like the classic aiming so I wouldn’t mind ditching ADS and going old school.

ADS works for some weapons, but I think it was massively overused in H5. You shouldn’t be able to use the Assault Rifle as a precision weapon.

5

I don’t mind the ADS and it doesn’t make halo a cod clone either.
I think some weapons should have a more thought out version of ADS but ultimately it was a nice attempt.

I don’t care about ADS but I’d like zoom to be removed from close range/automatic weapons.

I absolutely hate the look of ADS style zooming. Massively disappointed that Halo 5 went this route.

The old style system is far superior as it doesn’t cover up your target that your trying to shoot at (looking at you pistol in halo 5 for starters lol :joy:) and one could easily update the look for the older style aswell. Maybe something along the lines of Terminator or Ironman when they zoom in on a target. I think you could make it look pretty badass!

Also, canon wise I’ve been told by people who know it way better than myself that the old style is correct and ADS style breaks it. Now I love things to be canon as much as possible but never at the expense of gameplay. In this case though the older style zoom doesn’t hurt gameplay in anyway at all so it shouldn’t of been replaced and I’ll even argue it adds to the gameplay even. Unlike ADS style zooming in Halo 5 which in my opinion hurts gameplay and there was absolutely no good reason to go to that zoom style look other then trying to appease too other people that didn’t really play Halo. Let’s be honest here.

Also, as a side note, not every gun needs zoom. The shotgun should not have zoom, or the SMG, automatics in general for the most part. I can semi understand the AR having something maybe as it is a “rifle” Also, melee weapons should definitely not have any type of zoom in ability.

It’s not that the look of ADS style zooming is bad, i it’s fine in other games and even makes sense. It’s just not for Halo and as I stated above, it adds absolutely nothing better to the gameplay unlike the older style.

I truly hope 343I go back to the older style zooming style with an updated look.

As a side note, I also would love to see a decentered cross-hair to make a comeback. LNG made a video about it recently and it always bothered me when I noticed that 343i broke tradition and centered it. By doing so to have the gun point towards the target the model needs to be placed a lot more towards the screen, which closes your view more. It makes it clustered and even more chaotic imho. Initially O thought they did for some technical ADS reason, but Bungie introduced (sadly) ADS style zooming in Destiny as well and it ain’t centered!

While I’m not a fan of ADS, I think it can work in Halo. Just make it optional, get rid of bonuses of any kind and reduce the time to aim for ADS to make it a bit more in line with classic zoom. The centred crosshair bothers me more though! :laughing:

I’d very much prefer the classic halo zoom over ADS…

I really don’t like 2 aspects of ADS:

  1. It blocks the target you are aiming at.

  2. Non-precision weapons should not have ADS. Why can I aim with a freaking sword??? Why do assault weapons get a headshot bonus, is this Halo or COD???

I prefer classic and I also don’t think every weapon needs a zoom function.

I agree with the original post. It is amusing ADS-ing the griffball though
