With the new modern button layouts that have LT as smart scope, you only need to hold LT to zoom then release to unscope. However, if you play on a layout that has RS as as the scope like classic games, you have no choice but to either switch weapons or toggle through all the zoom levels of the weapon to unscope.
I think 343 should add an option so that when using toggle scope, you can have a button unscope you, similar to how there’s a button to toggle between the 2 zoom levels now. I’m aware you can hold Y to unscope, but that’s not a very comfortable option for me. I would like to have it where it works the same as it does now, but the zoom level button unscopes instead of toggling between 2 zoom levels.
You can just hold RS and then release to unscope. You’ve been able to since Halo 2. It’s just… Not optimal, which is why players got in the habit of YYing their snipers.

I realize that, but as you said it’s not optimal, or even usable really. You can’t reliably aim while holding in RS, so there’s no point in ever doing that really. Believe me, I have the YY muscle memory down from playing for years, but that doesn’t mean there’s not room for improvement. They obviously want to make some improvement by adding the zoom level button and I think this would just be a way to further improve it. It makes sense to have a zoom level button for hold aim, but for toggle aim I think it would make more sense to be a zoom out button instead.

The question is, what button? Maybe LS? Since Sprinting unscopes anyway, if you do it while still or moving in any direction aside from forward it could unscope as well.
I agree with you, the aiming system should be improved for the release of the game.

I play on Bumper Jumper and the toggle zoom button is also A, which is sprint on Bumper Jumper, so probably that. The zoom out functionality would just replace toggling zoom levels since you could just tap RS to go up a zoom level. So, toggling between 5X and 10X would be back and forth between RS and A rather than just tapping A.
