Personally i don't care if halo has classes or other call of duty like aspects but, the one thing i think it needs, is iron sights. Other than halo i have never played a shooter without them. Whats your opinion? ( lol i spelled halo wrong)

Um... I like Halo? I don't really know what to say. I'm a student at the moment, I hope to become a criminal profiler, and I enjoy pretty much everything as long as it's good.

Iron sights have been done away with because of every soldiers little eyepiece, in other words having iron sights would be completely pointless.

read my post again, I didn't praise his spelling or anything. I just said it was the first intelligent poll I've seen in weeks with no unneeded replies which is a good thing.

Nihilism (from the Latin nihil, nothing) is a philosophical position that argues that existence is without objective meaning, purpose, or intrinsic value.

Put simply in the words of Nietzsche as "the will to nothingness".

Hey wait a second, no crazy fourth option? I have to select something that actually relates to the topic being discussed what has b.net become?!

But seriously, I think iron sights have been made redundant by technology in the 25th century. Although if you have a look at some of the human weapons they have iron sights. Namely the shotgun. Then again look at the assualt rifle, how the hell is somebody supposed to accurately shoot that gun? Where are the sights? I guess that's what the eye piece/visor/hud is for right?

Why is Captain Kirk climbing the mountain?

While perhaps being a new and interesting targeting scheme with iron sights, isn't Halo set like 300 years in the future? they are really beyond Iron sights, it's the equivalent of us using crossbows instead of guns.

Agreed, why would you need an iron sight when you have a recticule displayed right there on your hud? The technology is advanced enought to know where your aiming and display that information on your visor.

If by "alo" you mean Halo then no.

  • 09.15.2009 12:05 PM PDT

No, this isn't Call of Halo.

Corn, Oil, and Wine... We need more wine...

In halo, not alo... WTH, is Alo?

The last time I tried to make a quote, a car smashed through my wall and the tire hit my grandmother in the other room. But for those of you who can haz once more between five, I say it will be five between seven divided by zero multiplied by Chick Norass and Broce Tee.

Odd. Because even though that may be true, why the hell do the weapons still have them?
I mean, I've heard of accurate instinctive firing, but the thing is nobody has that good aim from the hip, AND if you did have that eyepiece the freaking reticule would NOT stay in the center of your HUD. Added to that, some of the "iron sights" in the game I would love to use.
I.E. the magnum, SMG, and some turrets.

Maybe they can replace the pointless zoom for things like a normal SMG, and plasma rifle iron sight view when pressing R3.

Here’s what Luke had to say about the differences in treatment between the Spartans and Elites in Reach:

“Instead of piece-by-piece customization like the Spartans, Elite customization is a full model swap with models selected from the various Elite classes appearing throughout the Campaign. There are all kinds of reasons for this, not the least of which is our continued emphasis on the Spartan as your identity in Reach.”

The heads up display does the job of Iron Sights, but better.

So no.

It's called a smart-link, no need for iron sights.

  • 09.15.2009 1:53 PM PDT

We definatly dont need iron sights, the HUD does a better job than iron sights.

  • 09.15.2009 2:02 PM PDT

BOOM DEAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I do because it is really anoying having an invisable scope on most guns.

Iron sights wouldn't turn halo into CoD.......................................................... ...........neither would classes.

-A fatal error occured. Your opinion is not valid. Please restart your computer and try again with a different answer-
Spammed group invites or recruitments are NOT WELCOME!Unless i know you, DO NOT SPAM ME without a bloody good reason.

"Violence isnt the answer, but it sure is the solution"

They wouldnt work at all. And it would ruin alo.

If you had to stand still just to shoot then it takes out the whole run and gun aspect which Halo is known and loved for.
It would go from fast paces action shooter to run-of-the-mill tactical shooter.
That would be crappy.

No.

Yeah. I actually do...

I mean, they're on the game models so... wtf?

If you want to run and gun, then run and gun. No one ever forces you to use ironsights if they're in a game.

Beware the smiley face! =D

They're a bit outdated, to be frank. Spartan visors have a HUD, and most Marines have HUD's too - they are just a BIT more accurate than ironsides.
