Toggable Zoom/ADS?

Hello all!

As everyone knows Halo 5 guardians is coming out this year and we are drawing nearer and nearer to its release date. Of course 343 released the beta of Halo 5 guardians for feedback on the overall feel and game play mechanics. Not too many people were pleased to see the features that were incorporated into the game so far… one, especially of which was the ADS/Zoom feature. Many believed it to mimic the game play mechanics of COD: AW, many other shooters and want it removed.

My own personal take on the new zoom animation is actually posative. I personally like the Idea of the animation in the game and hopes it stays in the final version. Now for those who do not like the ADS and those who do, there could be a possible way to incorporate both into the game.

Now I have no clue if this had been mentioned earlier or not but, my idea is what if they both could be toggable? because there are FEW minor differences between both, It would be very easy to have whoever prefers the ADS version toggled to ADS, and whoever prefers the classic zoom version toggled to Zoom. I honestly belive it will please a lot of fans if this feature were to make it into the game. It would change both sides of the community, while keeping the core mechanics in tact.

What are your thoughts?

Forgot to add… The zoom would really be no different. Just same old layout as ADS just without the sight.

I wouldn’t be against it, but I doubt they’ll do it.

I doubt it too due to them being so far in development. Its not neccacaraly a big feature to add to the game, kinda a simple addition, but you know, just an idea to gaze into…

Hey, YOU STOLE MY IDEA! (lol jokes, its kay)

But it would be appreciated if you can quote my thread in your OP :3

I wouldn’t mind either way… but tbh I’m getting really sick of these toggling suggestions
We can toggle sprint, toggle sa, what else you wan’t to toggle? Sometimes you have to accept new things…

We’ll still have the same problem of the game being in favor of the zooming player, due to the zooming’s improved spread. The delay will still be present, as they can’t give classic zooming the advantage of an instant zoom.

Its really unnecessary as long as they properly nerf the scoping bonuses that were rediculous in the beta

I had this idea too, but then it would mean that the people with the Halo 5 default zoom would be at a disadvantage to those using the Halo classic zoom, because those using classic wouldn’t have a gigantic gun model in the way blocking their vision.

sigh What was wrong with zoom in the first place, 343? Why bother changing it now?

It would give those with the traditional zoom a clear advantage as they would not have anything obstructing their view or distracting them. Having the option toggable would not make sense. I personally do not have a problem with SmartScope so i do not care that it is here to stay, but im sorry for all the people who hate it. It is not going anywhere and will not be an option to toggle between them

I want to try out games with ADS, but no sprint.

Guys did you play Destiny?
No one complains about the zoom there.
Other games have it too I only named this one cause of Bungie.
I mean is it such a big deal?
Its really cool to have.
It is not like you have advantage with it.
If you get close to someone that use it well, go take him out its easy.
I think its great to jump up and nail the head not just with a sniper.
Spin around jump, spin and snap shot some heads or zoom shot them.
What does it matter?

I want the option, if the option is in the game then almost everyone will use the old zoom I bet and 343I will realize that this new ADS look zoom is garbage and most don’t want it.

It’s 2015, there should be a toggle for everything.

i like the old zoom better, but the point of SmartScope is to give the animation of ADS to have players new to the series like it better, but still with the descope aspect of old Halo zoom. they are getting rid of the damage bonus for automatic weapons when using Smartscope, so it should function more or less like the old zoom just a different animation. Again i do prefer the old zoom byt i also dont have a problem with the new smart scope, people need to just accept the fact that it isn’t going to change. And i understand the option to toggle with it, but zoom would give a clear advantage so why would they give two options with one having a big gameplay advantage? it just isnt practical.

I’d rather they remove it completely since makes no sense in a Halo game, turning in on/off will only give ADS players will severely unbalance the game.

yeah, and consoles should have options similar to PC. Just saying, but I prefer performance over graphics. mostly.
