Destiny and Halo 5 Thoughts (Potential Halo Spoilers) (Destiny)

Also, it was really weird to me that you are thrown out of zoom when you take damage.

This has been my biggest hurdle with playing H5. So far, I'm enjoying it... but losing ADS when you are damaged is really screwing with my head.

In the old Halo games the same thing happened, but the difference was that the "ADS" for the weapons that supported it was a toggle. You would click the stick to zoom and then if you got knocked out of your zoom, you would have to click the stick again to go back.

In H5, ADS is left trigger just like Destiny. You have to hold the left trigger in to maintain ADS, but then you can get knocked out of it even though your finger is still holding the trigger. This really throws me off.

I wish they would have implemented a really sharp left trigger rumble when you get knocked out of ADS to help with the feedback loop of "my armor-clad super soldier just got scared and stopped aiming down sights"

I've also been trained by Destiny that if you aren't in ADS then if you plan on hitting anything you best just stick your gun in their gut and fire otherwise good luck hitting anything. That's not at all true in Halo 5. In fact, going into ADS for most guns is just a bonus. It's the specialty guns that require you to ADS to get target locks and stuff.

It was a really weird transition :-)
