I wanted to know what you guys thought about sights on some of the weapons. Like, when you click the right stick to zoom in on scoped weapons. On unscoped weapons, you look down the sights instead, making it more accurate. Of course you'll still be able use the cross hairs. I just wanted to know if any of you thought it would be interesting idea. Either way the game will still be awesome. What do you guys think?

Halo is all about running and gunning. As it is, there is no point to looking down the weapon. If it were to be so, the only thing I can think of is that your accuracy would be increased when using the scope or iron sights. The problem with that however, is that it would disrupt the flow of gameplay. It's not a bad idea, but I just don't think it would work in Halo.

Yes, but it doesn't stay while you fire, and I mean actually looking down the sites.

I agree. Also, multi-kills would be way too easy with this.

*3 guys have sights on shooting at one dude*
*Another dude assasinates all of them.*

Also, this works well in Call of Duty because most weapons in World War 2 didn't have scopes and rifles were really hard to aim without sights. This isn't much of a problem with Halo.

It would be just the same except you look down the sights and you wouldn't have to slow down or anything just as if it were scoped. That could happen even without the sights.

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.”

That would slow down gameplay. I say no.

actually,no that I think about it...... I wouldn't mind iron sights on the AR. Nothing else though.
