And since there is no scope, technically he's telling the truth...

He called it scope/zoom. It's that but looks like ADS with some weapons.

You two can't be serious
You think you are going to get knocked out of ADS when shot?
While I'm still not a fan of sprint in my Halo, this is progress.

I'm hoping they really go nuts with big team in this one. Keep 4v4 smaller, more focused, then go wild when the player count rises.

Im not.
Thanks guys<3
Sorry for over-reacting a bit today.
I still really believe sprint should be taken out, so let's try to keep focused on that through-out the beta.
Also, I think the new "scope/zoom" really needs to take up less of the screen (right now its as obstructing as H4's zoom when I want it as small as H2s).

I can't believe sprint is one thing 343 won't go back on.

Maybe, especially if you have to click instead of hold to ADS, acting as a toggle like crouch except without the option of holding.
Amazing literally how I just went these past few hours.

Alright, so all of this is good news and what not but ...
Is Halo still relevant tho?

Lol I leave for a few hours and come back to Josh shutting everyone up about this ADS nonsense.
But yet, still so much salt...

Nauseous is exactly how I would describe the last couple of hours reading the internet.

I think that de-ADS isn't a term. I think that since the sights are purely cosmetic, they're effectively a scope.
So yes, I do.

Sprint sucks and needs to be removed. Only place I'll tolerate it is in Campaign and BTB.
Also, controlled leak confirmed. No one's getting banned on Waypoint for discussing it and 3 non-ADS clips were "leaked" after the initial shitstorm.

I know I will get lynched but Halo BTB should be BF style. 32v32 Massive maps, objectives and loads of vehicles.

This would be really cool. They should bring Invasion back too whilst they're at it.

Just have to nix sprint, and I'll be jazzed as hell.

Can someone explain to me how it is "not real ADS?"

Why do you think de-ADS isn't a term? Because it makes no sense?
They absolutely NEED to bring back Invasion. The possibility of 12 vs 12 Next Gen Invasion makes me so hyped.

This so much. 343 pls
The average CoD player would HATE getting knocked out of ADS, this will only apply to DMR/Sniper.

32v32 might be too much, but I'd welcome a 16v16 or 24v24. Big maps, lots of vehicles. You'd need to be very careful to design your maps and gametypes to discourage team shooting, though.
YES! God I loved invasion. We saw how much love that was poured into MCC. Do the same for Halo 5. I guess the problem with more modes is if the community is small.

It's ADS visually, not mechanically.
Not in today's gaming scene. It needs more ADS and loadouts to become relevant...

Some of my favourite Halo memories are BTB games. Crazy vehicle murder. They can add a Covie vs Humans if they want. In want to play as a Grunt!!!!
I like this post a lot from Moa on TB:
"So now that we know descope is in, think about this.
Lets say you're scoped in with the Battle Rifle, fighting someone else in a 1v1, players will need to constantly re-hold the ADS button to aim back in if they keep getting shot. ADS will be literally pointless to use if your opponent and you are trading shots often.
Obviously ADS isn't much of an issue since it works almost identical to zooming, but it seems like hipfire gun fights will be more common."

Maybe (and this would be really nuts), they do something like 16 v 16 Invasion with a buttload of AI hangers on. I know people like to crap on the grunts from Titanfall, but I really liked them.
It's mechanically identical to zoom.
It's only ADS in the visual sense.
How do we know it's going to be a hold to zoom?
That's what I thought.
Nope, that would be no good for a Halo type game. That's one of those "sounds awesome in my head but sucks in reality" ideas.

That's strange, but even if it was a controlled leak the moderators probably wouldn't be aware of it. I've seen individuals get banned for posting news that's "too new", and it gets mistaken as a leak.
Then again, I don't go on Waypoint all that often for various reasons.

I'm sure someone has brought it up, but there is a perfect compromise.
Halo 5 ADS functions the same as scoping but with a new skin, so just make it a visual option. They can make the ADS visual the default option and advertise the game with it, but just make it clear that we can change it back to the regular scope in the options(not game options, control and video options) if you don't like it.
Do it 343.

I don't see the point in that since ADS blocks some of your FOV, but ok.
Thanks all who answered.
Just for laughs and beta testing, I would love to see them do it. Bigger Blood Gulch with more man-cannon action.

According to the leak, you won't be able to recharge your shields while running, I'd like them to expand that to decharging shields while sprinting, or maybe not letting you sprint when you don't have any shield energy left.
