(personally I don't care as long as it's just replacing the way scopes work now, as long as normal non-ADS gunplay is the same, but I know some people are gonna be FURIOUS)

ads?

[Insanecyclone]

Aim down sight

Pretty sure the ADS thing is just how scoping looks now.

[Correction]

ads?

Previously known as ironsights, it's a mechanic to make the game easier in general and is new to Halo (along with sprinting).

This usually has enormous repercussions on map design.

ugh, grain of salt because 'insider' etc but:

Welp.

What made more more sad is that, while MC is still playable, Locke really is the primary character. Goddamnit.

at least we'll find out how it plays next month and not finding out its terrible on launch day

This is why betas exist.

At any rate, halo 4 at release and halo 4 6 months after launch are entirely different games. 343 actively patched the game forever. And the beta being a year ahead of time still allows major changes to be made.


If any of this is even true mind uou

allegedly there's a video coming out this week to introduce the multiplayer
also lol'd at this:

Yeah I'm pretty sure that's just the way being scoped in looks now.

All that aside, even from the shit quality of those gifs that game looks gorgeous.

Halo 4 had the worst staying power in franchise history though.

[Obsidian]

But they did fix virtually everything people were complaining about.

[BadKarma]

The gifs qbert just posted on facebook prove that the insider dude on gaf is a lying son of a bitch

[Qalbert]

in fairness ADS might exist for them and just not be being used in that clip

The AR clip has him shooting a dude pretty far away. Why would he not use ADS.


Although I guess it's entirely possible that ADS exists for all gun, but it doesn't need to be used unless the gun has a scope, considering none of the non scoped halo weapons have iron sights

[Qalbert]

either way, we'll have hands on in less than two months, and plenty of time after beta to change it if there's that much negative feedback, I'm not too worried
I have to imagine MS would put pressure on them to not piss off the fanbase of their biggest franchise

Tweet from Josh Holmes should put everyone at ease.
