But see, now that the enemy has map control they now also are locked down in formation on control points of the map. It's your job at that point to instigate aggressive pushes and re-acquire dominance. Why? Because when you're losing and take a death, you immediately spawn at a disadvantage. When you're losing and trying to break the enemy teams control. This is where the problem presents itself. When you're winning it's about maintaining control and when you're losing it's about breaking the enemies control. This is fine because that's just high level play. Now players will control areas of the map and maintain dominance. Now, let's assume that high level players will utilize the environment in every possible way to get a tactical advantage.

In this case, increased accuracy when scoped doesn't really matter, because players are just aimlessly meandering around the map, shooting at whatever comes into view. Assuming again that low level players have a kind of 'Just push forward and shoot things' mentality. Let's just for a second assume that in low level play, players don't really utilize the environment in a tactical way. To understand the problem, you need to understand how it affects gameplay: Guns do not magically have better spread when aiming.Ĭlearly you don't understand why this is an issue, I'm going to break it down for you. Why would a weapon gain accuracy simply because you are aiming down the sights? It makes no sense. In real life when you aim down sights with a real weapon the person gains accuracy. Reduction of spread while zooming in affects the way Halo is played in a negative manner. I didn't like the idea from the start, and the beta proved to me I was right. I have no issue if anyone likes Halo 5, but from the beginning I thought Josh Holmes was a liar, and someone who doesn't really hold the community in high regard. I just do not like his ideas, or his creative direction for Halo. I haven't liked Josh Holmes since GDC where he came out with this picture Chief in a wheel chair. 343i just called them something different. 343i did the same thing with kill streaks, and perks in Halo 4. This is exactly why I don't like the idea of 'smart link'. Sorry if this was already talked about in a thread about the blog post in general, but I searched for said thread and I couldn't find it.

So did he straight up lie in the original tweet? Please show me where I'm mistaken here, because I really don't want to believe that Halo's Creative Director tells bald-faced lies to the community. Isn't that just the inverse of 'penalty to hip fire,' i.e., what he promised the game wouldn't have? 'Reduce bonuses.' Which indicates that, at the very least, automatic weapons did get a bonus while in Smart-Link (scoped/ADS) mode. Reduce bonuses for automatic weapons in Smart-Link And then a few days ago, Josh Holmes makes a blog post detailing what will be changed in the final version of the game as a result of our feedback. Generally speaking it goes over pretty well, and 343 asks for our feedback. We all breathed a collective sigh of relief as we realized that this wasn't ADS in a traditional sense, but rather the classic Halo scope mechanic re-skinned to look more modern. Tune in for the beta gameplay reveal at #HaloFest Monday. No penalty to hip fire in H5, no movement penalty when scoping/zooming, no flinch. I'm sure you all remember several months ago when Halo 5 gameplay footage, featuring what looked like ADS, was leaked and the Halo community got pissed.
