What the -blam!- do you think this forum is for, Sparty Boy? Yes, that's right: questions. Discussions. All that good stuff. Stop reading it if you can't take people asking questions.
Btw, very few weapons actually have iron sights. They all rely on neural implants, scopes, homing projectiles or advanced visors. You'd think the UNSC would put iron sights on atleast the standard Assault Rifles that are used by everyone, whom I refuse to think have neural implants. The majority, yes. But not everyone. Too expensive for the UNSC.
The crosshairs standing still is purely a matter of gameplay. Making the player cameras shake when sprinting, rolling down and up again when evading etc. would be looots of extra work for the animators at Bungie.
Still, Bungie takes Halo pretty seriously, there should be a reason the crossair stands so still despite the spartan moving, maybe they are trained to hold it at a certain angle so it matches with the crosshair? I mean, no matter where you look, he brings the gun right under you.
