This is one feature I really dont want in Halo.
And why on Infinity would they need that? We play as Spartans, and all Spartans have neural implants, one of the functions of which is the ability to smart link with weapons, negating the need for conventional sights. If a weapon does have iron sights, they are for the few UNSC personnel without implants
What made you think they were gong to do that?
It’s already in the game, with the scoped weapons that is. The only thing different from “real” ads is the lack of animation and instead an instant zoom to the scope.
So, the thing you must ask is for non precision weapons to have a zoom/scope… but would that be a bad thing?
ADS is there, just not in the format we’ve all grown familiar to with games like CoD and Crysis.
Think of it like that. Remember the ODST SMG?

Those are all smart linked sights. The zoom, reticule etc are all data taken from the actual sight and projected directly onto the visor or onto the retinas of regular soldiers
Aiming down sights and scope zoom are different. They function differently and serve different purposes. Just like a crosshair is different from a reticle, an SMG is different from a machine pistol, etc.
ADS would kill Halo.
hmmmm crossed between this ://///
id like it cos they could then do a bit more with it like added precision to SMGS etc but i dont cos it makes halo halo really, super soliders so they dont need to aim just point and shoot, makes for more skill 
so im favouring more towards without aiming on not precision weapons, i wouldnt mind it on the ODST smg if it was in the game but not on the Assault rifle etc
I’m confident that they won’t do that… So there is no reason to worry…
They already said they would never do that years ago. And it wouldn’t make sense canonically anyway, what with the HUD and all.

The Important distinction being that the look sensitivity doesn’t change with Halo’s Smartlink, no auto snap, player movement speed doesn’t change and players are knocked out of scope when fired upon.
I told myself a long time ago if I Halo ever implemented this I am gone forever and never coming back.
I feel like they’ll never do that, they are trying to appeal to a larger group of people, but that is one thing that makes unique, really unique. I’m sure there are other games that are similar but there are no big name shooters like that. If that goes, I’ll probably go, and half of the hardcore halo community will probably follow. Halo is becoming more like CoD, if they do that, they’ll be less differences. If 343 doesn’t change the way they’re handling things (but I’m sure they will,) then we’ll end up with Call of Halo in 10 years.
it would be stupid to do that!
I agree with the OP, ADS would be terrible for Halo and not only because it’s canonically incorrect (weapons and sights are connected to the HUD and are supposed to make a Spartan not need to ADS- one of the many benefits of MJOLNIR). It would be terrible because ADS means all weapons will become less accurate when used without it, making it detrimental to player success in a way that’s more impactful than other games because Halo has longer kill times and shields, which make every little advantage huge by the time the enemy is killed. I don’t want to have to ADS to win a firefight and don’t think this element will be “Halo” at all.
Fingers crossed. I have faith that 343i will deliver, though.

I think if 343 did this, Halo 5 population would die very very quickly.
Its Halo, not BF or COD.
