Regarding precision shots (Destiny)

This was greatly affected by the Destiny style of play where you always zoom for precision shots and you actually aim at stuff. Also, it was really weird to me that you are thrown out of zoom when you take damage.

Mission two felt much better, maybe because I was getting use to it or maybe it was because it was indoor fighting, I don't know. I was actually aiming at things to do more damage. It's really hard to describe how it's different from Destiny. The best way to describe it would be that when you use weapons in Destiny, there is a very defined point to where you shoot a guy, in Halo that boundary seems fuzzier.

I love both games

Funny, for me I feel like most enemies now in Halo 5 have very interesting precision points. You can pump a ton of lead into a Knight and take them down any old way. Or you can get a few precision shots off in different parts and take them down super quickly. It actually strongly supports flanking maneuvers and collaboration with your fellow Spartans in a way I simply don't get in Destiny. In Destiny I feel like the objective is to just keep dealing precision damage as quickly as possible regardless of what other guardians are doing. I'm rarely flanking enemies in Destiny, I feel like when the going gets tough, you've got 3 guardians standing shoulder to shoulder focusing on DPS and revives from a distance.

Just really like the more puzzly nature of Halo enemies and absolutely love how much more of a kinetic game it is.
