 '''@ Weeping Angel''' Yeah, but we can't really complain to much until we actually test it ourselves, now can we? Siphon 117 00:28, 15 November 2014 (EST)

 :Anyway, Testing the game out yourself may seem like the most plausible thing to do to be able to judge this feature, but based on these gameplay videos I've seen, I have to side with ''Weeping Angel'' & ''FluffyEmoPenquin'' on this re-branded "aim-down-sight". Just like Fluffy said, there's no reason for a Spartan to have to look down a sight. In the previous games your HUD projects what your scope sees. As for accuracy from firing from the hip, your hud still got the job down without needing extra accuracy. Now all of a sudden you have the "smart" scope. I noticed several flaws with it. First, it's "un-Halo-like". COD, battlefield, and whatever modern shooter utilizes it to make shooting accurate and a lil more realistic. That's fine but now Halo wants to use it? Why? Halo never needed it. Plus this is a futuristic domain where ADS is replaced by a wireless "smart link" to your gun's scope where ADS is rendered pointless. And that brings me to the next flaw that I noticed when watching the beta gameplay videos. Now with this "new" feature, your gun/reflex sight becomes a HUGE distraction or in the case of the pistol, an obstruction. Before when you zoomed in you had a completely unobstructed view of your target. Now all of a sudden, with his "smart scope", you have the distraction & obstruction of your gun. I noticed a lot of "missed" kills from using it, as well as the gun getting in the way of your target. The smart scope may be a nice lil "cool" feature to help Halo keep up with the other shooters but from my perspective, it doesn't make any logical sense to have it in this game. The only guns I see truly benefiting from this feature are the assault weapons. But even then, all they would need is a smart link scope and you can get the exact same results. So overall, I'm not feelin this smart scope feature. <s>The only way I'm going to like it is if it's an optional feature in the game but from the looks of it, that doesn't appear to be the case.</s>--'''''[[User:Killamin7|<span style="color:Black; font-family: Arial;">Killamin7</span>]]''''' <small>['''''[[User talk:Killamin7|<font color="Red">Comm</font>]]'''''|'''''[[Special:Contributions/Killamin7|<font color="Black">Files</font>]]''''']</small> 14:04, 27 December 2014 (EST)
 ::Okay it looks like after viewing [http://www.twitch.tv/halo/b/601058358 this video] at around the 43:00 mark, it appears that default zoom is still available w/ the option of using smart scope. That's great but I would have to change my control scheme so that I don't find myself using ss.--'''''[[User:Killamin7|<span style="color:Black; font-family: Arial;">Killamin7</span>]]''''' <small>['''''[[User talk:Killamin7|<font color="Red">Comm</font>]]'''''|'''''[[Special:Contributions/Killamin7|<font color="Black">Files</font>]]''''']</small> 15:59, 27 December 2014 (EST)
