I'm not even a Halo fan and I was really put off by that clip, lol.

Could be a stylistic thing.
But upon rewatching like 30 times, I noticed his movement slowed down during it. I think that's what cinches it.

Whether or not it's "more fun" is a highly subjective thing.
Whether it's a balanced arena shooter or not is substantially less subjective.
Difficult to imagine a balanced arena shooter with a full fledged ADS mechanic, if that's what we are seeing here.

Hate ADS on Destiny, I will just act like I didn't see that video.

Please quote the terrorists you're referring to.
It's defined by some of the good things that come from not implementing those, kind of like how a healthy person isn't exclusively defined by an absence of binge drinking and chain smoking.

Anyone stop and think that if they are truly adding ADS across the board with all the weapons that there will still be "classic" Halo playlists where there is no ADS? That way you give people a choice as to how they want to play.
I guess I like both, so I'm looking forward to it.
I'm someone who doesn't mind Sprint in the new games, I'm able to adapt, and I don't need the same thing forever. I have serious doubts that anything is ever going to eclipse Halo 1 anyway, so why get mad when they make more changes?
Seriously though, I'd imagine that this is just the zoom function for this BR. I can't imagine that they're going to bring ADS to the Shotgun or anything, this is just another option instead of a 2x scope, which functions pretty similarly to an ADS setup. Wait till December when you have the whole picture.

Looking at the aiming reticle for that particular weapon, they're definitely doing that. No way in hell you can fire precise from that.
EDIT: I take it back, I was looking at the reticle while sprinting.

Good thing the beta is so early from release (lasts a long time too). If everyone feels the same after playing the beta maybe they'll change it.
I don't think you understand how fundamental this mechanic is. This will change how the game plays at a very significant level.
Because Halo with aim down sights is not Halo.

This is why I laughed at the "has 343 redeemed themselves" notion.

I think what annoyed me most about Halo 4 was ordinance drops and load outs because they removed weapon control from the map.

Why are people so upset over something as simple as ADS?
It seems like a completely optional thing you can choose to use or not use and it's just part of the evolution of the genre.
Almost no fps games had ADS back in the day and it's simply become more common of a thing to do these days to enhance the game and give players more immersion when aiming.
Destiny has ADS and it works perfectly fine when you don't use it, feels very "halo'ish" even though it has it.
It also has sprint....
CoD did not invent these things, other games had it before CoD ( Operation Flashpoint had it, Vietcong, etc).
Just because a game has ADS doesn't meant it will do like some games, where your accuracy and things are "Worse" when not using ads and better when using it.
If it is the case then I can understand why some people are upset, having ADS and forcing it on people (by making it more accurate then not using it) can slow down a game or force people to use it to be competitive.
However I think a lot of people are jumping a bit ahead without knowing fully how it works yet, it may very well just be normal ads and it could have 0 affect on accuracy and just be purely a cosmetic/player option to use or not.
Sprint on the other hand? I am still not sure why that is pissing so many people off.

I'm against it, and I've never said any of those things. Stop generalizing the worst parts of the community with the rest of us who have entirely legitimate concerns and reactions.
How can some people not see how this is horrible for Halo?
I'm not even much of a Halo player myself (more of a PC FPS guy) but those games are all about strafing side to side to make yourself a harder to hit target while being accurate yourself.
You know what completely throws that out of the window? Being rooted to the ground through ADS.

Surprisingly after a few months, there will be always such a playlist in the latest Halo game.
People said that about SOCOM. Look what happened. The studio shutdown and the franchise is done for.

Looks awesome to me.
Nobody has said this but you. Most people ITT are just pissed that they're ruining the game.

You had a good run Halo.
Imagine ADS in Quake. Halo is the slower, to compensate for controller, console equivalent. ADS would be bad.

Maybe that's the noob playlist. I doubt it though. The fact that 343i thinks adding ADS and sprint is disheartening.
I'm disappointed cause of how much bullshit they feed us through media. "Bring back arena style multiplayer", what a load of crap.
There is tons of questions that need answered.

That was definitely 4's biggest problem, but if they really did implement ADS (and it's not just a cosmetic thing), then this could be just as bad.
Do you know something we don't? Because what we have to work with is pretty damning.
Because it isn't?

Well 99% of all "Beta's" last-gen also released in the same month the final game was coming out. The only games that did a Beta early enough last-gen that I can remember were Shadowrun and Gears of War 3 on Xbox 360. Gears of War 3 really benefited from the early Beta, the addition to Trenches and Thrashball were desperately needed.

Not going to judge a game that doesn't come out until next year by some shitty phone footage.
But this time it will be different because
