Now we have seen the infrared scope on the Sniper Rifle in Halo 3, however we have never been able to use it whilst actually scoped in. This is because there are very few maps that would actually require this in Halo 3. Also there were no night time levels in the camapign.

However in Halo: CE there was a night-vision setting for the Sniper- which is a different version of the sniper to that of the one used in Halo 3. I think this feature has flown under the radar a bit.

Would anyone else like to see a level in the campaign set at night, where we would have to use a infrared/night-vision on our snipers and finally put this feature to use, which could then maybe carry over to the multiplayer perhaps?

I would love to see this back in, I remember how cool I thought it was in Halo CE, it would just be fun to have around, kind of like the visr mode in ODST.

As long as the AI aren't ridiculously aware of your position like in ODST then I'd be for it. I think a compromise with the more oblivious nature of the Halo CE AI on the beginning of the Truth and Reconciliation would make it very fun.

A multiplayer level set at night where you can toggle your flash light and there is a more stealthy element would also interest me...

Why not stop by my File Share while you're here?

Only regret is I didn't play more of it.

If you haven't noticed by now, I'm sort of a jerk.

Yes, I would love to have it back, I missed it in Halo's 2 and 3.

Maybe they could have day and night multiplayer maps to go along with this? Not just for the Sniper, but for the experience of sneaking in the dark, or scoping out people with night vision on your Sniper/maybe Splaser.

And instead of having another map for the night version (like ODST), maybe just an option in the map selection to have day or night, heck, maybe an evening setting.

Creeping Death variant/Change perhaps? Imagine creeping death in the dark! Would be very suitable for Halloween!

I'd love something like this for scoped weapons. It could bring fourth dark maps, REAL Dark maps. :).

Look out.... -boom- (headshot)
I told you to look out, but know, you got in my way, was going to shoot that splaser....

If they can use it wisely in the campaign, then I'm all for it. A night time version of COD4's All Ghillied Up, maybe?

Bungie will win, then.
