The addition of ADS (Smart Scope) in Halo 5 is a big mistake on 343s part and needs to be removed before Halo 5 multiplayer is released.
Part of what makes Halo different from every other generic shooter out there is the way it has always handled zoom. Unlike other shooters, Halo players have always been able to zoom without obstructing a portion of the screen by having to aim down a gun sight. By adding smart scope, 343 has taken this inherent Spartan ability away. Why would a 25th century Spartan purposely obstruct their view by putting a gun up to their face to zoom aim when their visor zooms for them? The very nature of Halo is that when a player is zoomed they need the ability to see multiple enemies at once. By having the gun visible while zoomed it will block out a portion of the screen to the player and some enemies will be hidden by the gun. This ruins the Halo experience to a large extent and should be removed.
343 please follow all the other Halo releases and remove ADS/Smart Scope from Halo 5. At the very least make it an optional feature. If some player would like to handicap their view of the field with this feature, please dont force all of us to have to deal with this.
Thank you.
