Is that some form of red dot sight on the BR? I can’t really tell, but I kinda hope it isn’t.
It just looks like the battle rifle… with the scope bent.
There’s a series of visual effects going on in the artwork.
If it is that doesn’t mean we will see gun customization, it could just be a new br with the m7s type laser sight. It could also be promotional art and not the final version of that gun, I mean chief is on the bottom. That’s heresy…
I think you may be looking at the box art a little too closely. To me it just looks like the battle rifle scope and even if it was a red dot sight it wouldn’t matter all that much seeing as ADS isn’t in Halo… And it should remain that way.

That’s what scares me… The potential for ADS with a red dot.
Just looks like a BR scope to me.
A slight bend on top, which could be a cosmetic scope design change as much as a new scope.
343i says that they have learned from Halo 4 and recognize that balance between the loyal and new fans is a difficult line, so I highly doubt they will implement something like ADS or customizable weapons to that extent.
They are quite rooted in the lore, so I should certainly hope they see how ADS is completely worthless and out of place in Halo’s Universe when playing as a Spartan.
No. It’s just the scope of it.
Probably not though it could be just aesthetics , just a concept, or something like the scope from ODST .
Better not be…

Well it is just a concept art, don’t over-think it just yet.

I don’t want to over think it, but it scares me. I hate red dot sights, and I absolutely hate ADS. If you want to talk about campy gameplay, reflex sights and ADS are all about camping. Sure, you can run and gun and pull up your sights when need be, but most players sit and wait while ADS and it’s infuriating. I know in Halo it would be a little different considering the game features more than 1 second kill times. I still just hate the idea.

Or maybe it’s a special weapon that this character uses, to give him more personality.
Was bout to make a thread about it. Yes, it definitely looks like a red dot sight. I wanted to see how people felt about ADS possibly being brought into Halo.
I wouldn’t want it. Spartans don’t need it if they scope in with Visor, but if that’s the case, then why do guns have visible scope on them anyways?
I feel these are the things ADS must do in order for me not to drop Halo:
- Obscure the radar like all Halos except Halo 4’s perk
- Be able to be knocked out of ADS
- Not hinder movement speed and be able to pop up quick
If 343 feels they need to be up to date by adding ADS, that’s on them, but it better be as identical to “scope in” as it can be…
It looks like a new BR with a red scope! Not sure if its a red dot though…
I don’t remember the red dot sight in Halo 3 ODST generating this much buzz and whining.
I hope not, I doubt 343 will change the beloved BR that much, they know what we like and don’t like (I hope)

Considering the gun wasn’t going to be in MP and the SMG’s at the time didn’t even have a regular zoom feature, it would make sense right. Even so, I remember people talking about it. Not only that, but I don’t think we even had to wait to find out that the SMG featured the regular visor zoom.

I HIGHLY doubt 343i would make that big of mistake. That literally would destroy core Halo gameplay. I don’t think we need to worry about ADS being added in.
There’s literally zero provocative detail in this artwork to suggest an impractical gameplay mechanic.
I feel like this topic is nothing more than an opportunistic jab at 343 Industries.
