Lack of Weapon Optics...

So, as I’m sure many of you have noticed there was a lack of weapon optics attached to the SMG, DMR, and Battle Rifle on the recently released Halo 5 cover art images. Due to all the hype I decided to go back and watch the first Beta Trailer: [Halo 5: Guardians - E3 Beta Trailer - YouTube

](Halo 5: Guardians - E3 Beta Trailer - YouTube)Now, back when this was first shown people also pointed out that the Spartan sliding, at 0:23, also didn’t have a scope on his BR. Was it ever explained was to why that was? And does anyone know why there is a lack of scopes on the weapons? Will they now be generated by the helmet thus giving us a newer/different look to scoping in then we saw in previous Halos and the Beta?

Blue Team are working on their clan noscoping montage.

It was never confirmed from the beta, but I doubt the scopes are all going to be projected. The Sprint series showed that the scopes were in from the beginning.

Although it’s unconfirmed I bet there is a section of the multiplayer mode that has weapon customization. Probably an unranked portion.

People need to remember that none of that was confirmed to be out of the game. Same with Loadouts. Only armor abilities were confirmed out of the game for obvious reasons. There’s still no evidence that the entire game is Arena gameplay like in the beta.

Linda stole them all.

Actually, I guess it’s supposed to go along with the new ‘Smart Scope’ mechanic, meaning all the scoping is done from the HUD; as a hologram. That’s right, it’s all in your head!

However, here is an image of the Beta DMR at the hip.
It has a scope.
LIES.

Its promotional stuff, don’t read to much into it.

That kind of inconsistency is very common, there typically isn’t any deeper meaning to it.

LOL. Look at Linda. She’s the scope thief. She has like 10.

The BR and DMR without scopes might just be exclusive to Fred and Locke.
