When it’s not scoped in, the Binary Rifle’s reticle is enormous. It’s only the 4 angled lines on the corners with no smaller crosshair in the middle to help with aiming. As a result, if you manage to pause the video right at the same moment he fires the rifle, you can see the tracer of the shot heading down-right in the “strike zone”, meaning those angled lines are the size of it’s bloom. The smaller reticle only appears when he zooms in.
A better view of the zoomed-in Binary Rifle can be seen here in the Vidoc just released.

I’m not trying to say this is a bad thing, not by any means. I just noticed that it was a pretty clever way to balance it’s power. Unless you have the Chief’s luck, you’d better zoom in, lol.

Good. No more no-scoping and two-shot per reload are good since it’s a 1sk. Now top that with less ammo…
Personally I wish that all sniper rifles had no displayed reticle when not zoomed in, or maybe a large one like that of the binary rifle, not a big fan of no scope sniper pros. I find it irritating that the gun can be used like that and I always have, although I do understand the feeling of getting an awesome no scope it wouldn’t bother me in the slightest if 343 made it that much harder to do in Halo 4.

if its extremely hard to aim with, alot harder then the regular sniper and has less clip size and ammo then that somewhat balances it out.

Hard to aim? Even with zero aim assist it is OP and promotes unskilled gameplay.

If its hard to aim then it requires more skill to land shots on target AKA making for more skilled gameplay

which rewards skill and punnish lack of skill.
how ever, i don’t know its full implementation, it could be easy to aim with which would be trouble some
