What I mean by a scope in animation is the sort you would see in Battlefield, if fits with most games but I don’t think Halo.
The look of the BR (http://i.imgur.com/Ehtm2Oz.png) makes it seem like it is missing a display and any sort for camera/imaging electronics in the scope which leads me to beleve it functions as Iron Sights rather that a linked display which would reqire looking down the sights to aim.
Personally I think it would be wrong to not have and instant zoom in Halo.
Thoughts?
Do you think this will be the case judging by the design of the BR?
343I has gone quite overzealous with making Halo 5 into Arena Halo, they didn’t add ADS in Halo 4, and every thread asking about ADS in Halo is filled with people demanding it be left out.
The chances of aim down sights being in the game are zero. Everyone should just stop worrying about a problem that will never exist.

Several weapons don’t have visible scopes, yet you can still zoom in.
The SMG in Halo 3: ODST had the kind of sight on the Halo 5 BR and there was no ADS.
There’s not that big of a chance of ADS appearing, especially not because of a scope aesthetic.
Or what if, and this is just speculation, the reason it is a red dot sight is because they could be removing the zoom on the BR or it is just purely for looks, people need to stop worrying, the magnum can zoom in and there isn’t a massive scope on that!

With the exception of the scattershot, they all seem to. Even the I-cannon has a little glowing part like a sight mounted on the side of an RPG.

Aim down sights and arena shooter are not mutually exclusive.
I think it might be a nice way to balance some of the automatics. Give them iron sights to aid ranged combat and let the precision weapons scope like normal.

I’m not sure if that made or ruined my day. Both ways it was funny.
> If there is ever ads in halo then it wont be halo anymore.
Yes it would be, what makes halo, halo, isn’t one mechanic, it’s a dozen mechanics.
IMO though, while I don’t want ads being a sandbox, I wouldn’t mind it on precision weapons, I mean it’s an 8th to a 10th of second long animation, and precision weapons -Yoink- all over the other weapons anyways.
