Prompted by the latest automatic plasma armament thread, I thought a little about how the supposed “scopes for all weapons” would work. Some of Halo’s weapons are pretty outlandish, and I’m curious as to what you lot think some of the scopes will look like or do.
I’ll give you a few to start.
Shotgun: Reduced spread, barrel tightening animation, holographic overlay with number of shells left displayed.
Needler: Increased tracking, crystals glow, AR-style slight zoom.
As long as it would only be in single player or customs I’d have no problem with it. Would be interesting to see a scope of some sort on a covenant plasma rife. Possibly some spartan improvising while in the field. Like maybe one of the spartan’s attaches a human scope to an alien weapon.

I wasn’t talking about customisable scopes, only what alien/unconventional human scopes would look like.
My bet is that they have remoddeled all the weapons where smart scope/ads won’t work.
The new rocket launcher for example.
maybe an increased lock on with the pp emp while scoped in

Oh, Gods, no.
The last thing Halo needs is a *cheaper Needler.*I’m curious how SS will function on the odder weapons, too, though. Personally, I hope they nix them for some weapons. Like the CQC stuff (Shotgun/Hammer/Sword) at least.
based off the new cover art poster, it will be interesting if rifles will still have an animation where the rifle is brought up to the eye, but the actual scoping is all built into the visor via holograms. that way the animation would be familiar to casual fps players, but will still end up making sense according to lore

Oh ok. That’s a bit of a relief.
Ooooooooohhh! I think I figured out how to make the gravity hammer vortex/pull work!
Smart scope! Mêlée pulls, trigger vortexes!
I imagine the Shotgun wouldn’t do much when scoped. It would probably be just a zoom.

A recent canon fodder said that some M45D shotguns are fitted with smart chokes. That’s probably a hint at decreased spread.

Really? Which one was it? Because that would be pretty cool. The decreased spread on the scoped AR was just straight-up awesome.

Not sure, but it should be on the shotgun universe page.

I know, right? I don’t see why so many had a problem with it.
I want to see how they manage to add the Needler’s Smart scope. I don’t want it to be generic, I would like it to glow pink like the crystals.

only with the fist of rukt as a legendary weapon though
The smart-scope should only be a cosmetic, which it was promised to be.

Straight up stupid you mean, they are changing how awesome the Assault Rifle was in the beta because it was too good
