Not a mental thing, a visual thing. I just don't see why the iron sights/weapons need to be visible in the middle of the helmet's visor/FoV. It's a mental thing for the rest of the people who need it for "modernity" and "immersion". Because it doesn't feel right if you cant Aim Down Sights for some reason.
So yes, while the screen stays in full color, with the classic zoom, you don't unnecessarily have the screen blocked by the weapon in the middle. That's it. I did say the H5 Light Rifle was the most inoffensive.
Like I just don't get it. If the darkening of the non-scope area is a trade-off, why not just have the circle, and keep the rest of the image full color then, rather than it ADS?
Congrats. The checkpoint issue has been widely reported by users who don't have your luck.
Yes, that must be it. No one else has experienced frame drops/stuttering and torn frames.
I noticed I misworded my original post - there are drops in H2A which are noticeable, but overall it's pretty good. It's H1A that has the very noticeable drops and stuttering. I don't think it's down in the 30s, and it's usually not sustained terribly long, but it's enough to be bothersome.

Anybody want to play objective gametypes on H2C/H3 right now?
When was the last time you experienced it? I saw it happen a lot around launch, but the few times I've played it since, it hasn't occured. I obviously haven't played it enough to get a good sampling of that, though.
It's definitely still occurring with up-to-date versions?

You can see a lot more in the foreground with the halo 5 ADS. I like it, my mind was made up the first session I had in the pre-beta.
Its not modern, or any shit like that that I was/am craving. For me like I said it seems to leave the foreground visible, which is a welcome change. I love the snappy sights as well..
We ain't never going to agree on this. Loads people hate it, and I suspect that loads of people love it too. Nothing more needs to be said on it imo.
You keep saying this, what does it mean? Halo 5 ADS objectively cuts off a greater fraction of the screen. ADS also appears to still be using straight perspective projection, which means its behavior is exactly like the old scope except that it sticks a giant object in the way of your vision.
Are you just referring to the occasionally low degree of zoom?

You don't have to worry, the game releasing without ADS is not a realistic scenario, it would never happen (chasing that modern shooter crowd is too important for 343 to do such a thing) There was still a slim chance of 343 including a classic scope option to please the players that hate that awful shit (and that includes many old Halo fans) but apparently a circle in the middle of the screen is too hard for them.
So yeah, a classic scope option would please everyone, but 343 is gonna 343...
That's because there is none. It's just there to please the modern shooter crowd and to avoid dumb reviewers from saying the game is too archaic.
You keep injecting yourself into my posts, whether it's a thought I have or if I'm responding to someone else and then trying to tell me I'm demanding explanations from you or that "nothing more needs to be said" or "that we aren't going to agree". I get it. You like ADS. You also love Halo 4. You're also crazy for datacenters because you spammed the hell out of 4 different threads with dozens of posts how if Halo 5 didn't have data center selection, you wouldn't buy it.
Eh, I know I have my reasons why I don't like ADS. I don't know how you're trying to pass judgment when just on the last page you said if Halo 5 doesn't have ADS you won't buy it. That means all other gameplay or even the past 5 Halo games mean jackshit to you if the iron sights aren't visible on the screen for you.

Every time I find a game in MCC I get matched with bad teammates who end up quitting. This game doesn't want me to have any fun in multiplayer.
I've played 6 Halo games without ADS.
Logic...use it.
Just answer the question, were you less accurate with ADS or no? The visual "clutter" doesn't mean much if the shots go where I want them.

But... your peripheral vision is less cluttered now. It's the stuff in the middle that's more obscured.
Less cluttered compared with what? The old Halo scopes had nothing but a few edge HUD elements (i.e. ammo and motion tracker) in the peripheries. Scoping actually eliminated the gun model from your view entirely. Sometimes the periphery was a little dimmer, and Halo 1 had that outward "blur" filter thing, but it always felt like any movement across the visual field could be picked up on.
I'm using "peripheries" to refer to anywhere that's not the middle of vision, i.e. bottom region included.

God the Didact is stupid looking. Fuck.
Real question here: Why aren't you people worried about what the default starting weapons are going to be across the board in Halo 5?
That's what makes or breaks the game and the community as a whole. If it's anything other than AR/BR...game is done matchmaking-wise...having to be forced to play custom games or depend on the HCS to give some sort of competitive balanced Halo game is stupid...I'm personally done depending on that crap. Been dealing with it since Halo 2.

Can't speak for everyone else, but my thoughts are: there's a good chance the enthusiasm for AR/BR starts managed to make it to 343's ears, and even if it didn't, AR/Pistol (the worst case scenario), while inferior, was far from unplayable, IMO.
OMG, I forgot about that. I think you found the real reason.
Why can't Halo crawl?
That or more kill streak based stuff like care packages or aerial support.

New feature Tactical Pr...Stealth Position.
I will jiggle if they add the loot box from Advance warfare that gives you random weapons with random stats and armor pieces.

Nah, Halo 6 will be all about the random loot. Don't see how popular Destiny is getting?

Could use more Halo Wars in my life. Just other Halo games in general that aren't FPS's, I needz them.
Moa racing.

Same issues with MCC here last night, hard reboots and still zero players found in Halo 4, Halo 3 or Halo 2 classic playlists. Not one player found. I played Destiny instead, again.
Competitive Halo Wars was extremely fun. We had a really tight knit group. That community has pretty much moved on now though. Still hoping for a sequel.

Sparrowhawk rushing was a sight to behold.
I've got some people wanting to pick up MCC. I don't know whether to give them the go ahead or what. I mean at this point, they might as well make the $23 price permanent.
I don't want to tell them, might as well pick it up, and yet have these problems persist till summer. They didn't buy it because of what they heard. Hopefully this "transformative" patch, comes soon. It was supposed to have been beta tested by us well over a month ago.

More in it for multi-player. But you're right. Doubt it's going to be cheaper than this for a while.

For the sword it still never felt like it was worth it to try to zoom. Sprint up on an unsuspecting group and sword like normal. It may help if you're camping a corner and they are a little further out but besides that one instance using the sword normally was what worked.

The one on the left might be a 343i re-imagining, as they usually do.
You can see what looks like railgun turrets on it. I'm not surprised.

I agree I actually like the Smart scope on the Ar and Pistol and just about everything else, I do think BR and DMR need work but other then that nothing every "got in my way" or anything like that

It's possible, but considering the proximity to what looks like a Forerunner, I'm thinking new vehicle (or maybe something non-canon Mega Bloks whipped up on their own).
