Bad news about discord is that no admins/mods online and i think the place is closed down still. We'll get you there eventually though.
EDIT This is assuming you're talking about HaloERA discord...

PM'd you a link.
Anyone else here who wants an invite to the Discord, PM me. Not sure if links can be hidden in posts yet, will ask about getting one in the OT when it allows.
Glad to be here again with all of you, thanks for the SPV3 shotout in the OP!
If you ever look in 3p, or on the AR when you ADS the whole reason it's brought up to your face is so it can project a hologram onto your visor. It's kinda weird considering in the past it was always a wireless link the the gun's optics.
I believe it's going to be November, I imagine the first week so it's all ready for the XB1X launch on the 7th. I am pretty excited to play more arena because the weapons test playlist preview really felt a lot more like Halo to me. The update also will make changes to the campaign, which in this game is always a good thing.

This is sexy.
Frankie was seen in Discord but he got email problems then. I figure he is coming here though, eventually.
Damn, these also look great!! I need to play them, but with forge outputs like this, I can't help but wonder why there isn't a playlist for them in Halo 5.
Glad to see a bunch of familiar names and avatars, especially ones from years ago.
SaiST
We all wonder.

Yeah, Stinkles is here but he hasn't checked into HaloERA yet. I'm sure he will eventually but it's good to see he got his email issues worked out.
I think Nokyard said back in the old GAF Halo 5 OT that they'd be added soonish
Masterz noted that internally zoom in Halo 5 is ADS, soo...
And apparently it allows a lot of tweaks to things.
Personally i define ADS as having "visual effect".
Consider Wolfenstein TNO, which has ADS but it actually has zero effect on everything (ignoring that it enables use of cover). But it is ADS because it pulls weapon to your face and partially blocks your screen.

But it does do the other things ADS does. It enhances the lethality of the weapon, and tips the advantage to the person who ADS's first favor. It extends the range of guns, the bullet magnetism and homing, it increases their effectiveness and time to kill.
It might be ADS-lite, but it's still ultimately the same mechanic with not as many boxes checked as other games would have on their implementation.

ADS is... like at this point I just honestly don't care to defend it. I think it's super minor and people making are making too big a deal but, on the flipside, I don't know of anybody who really, really likes it, so if part of your community despises it with the burning fury of a thousand exploding suns and the rest of your community doesn't really give a fuck either way why not just ditch it?
Indeed, they and others are being prepared but i do not know their fate.
Well then standard zoom is ads-lite as well because it does exactly what you describe.
The only place where H5's ads has any significant effect on gameplay is with automatic weapons. In that it slightly increases their effective range.
For precision weapons the only difference between H5 and the rest of the series is the visual aspect.
I'm completely neutral on sprint. I can take it or leave it.
Also, I actually prefer the classic implementation of zoom. I prefer how classic zoom looks and I don't particularly like the increased range of autos.
I'd rather they revert back to the classic style in H6. I'm just saying that H5 doesn't have ADS.
It'd be more accurate to say that they added zoom to every weapon in H5. The only reason people are calling it ADS is because of the visual changes.
In the past, standard zoom has only ever effected your RRR and in rare instances your accuracy.
But H5's ADS doesn't just effect the automatic weapons, it effects things from the plasma pistol, the grenade launcher, the sentinel beam (I guess that counts as automatic?), the plasma caster, the fuel rod gun, and so on.
But even with precision weapons, the ADS does effect their performance. Just take a look with the pistol in swat and see how autoaim and magnetism are altered compared to that of the BR, which unlike the pistol gets magnetism towards the head.
I do realize that there is an argument to be made that if you don't notice it, what does it really matter, but it ultimately does effect the meta of the game and peoples enjoyment. Even with something like the FRG, where the ADS benefit isn't really clear to anyone it begs the issue if it doesn't do anything, why does it exist?
If there is an option in the menus, to turn ADS off or on for Halo 6 and future titles, that would be neat. Not sure if it can be implemented that way, or if 343i would consider such an idea
You can't just say it only affects RRR when RRR has such a massive impact on combat. For precision weapons the difference between current zoom and classic zoom is negligible, I'm not sure what you're point is regarding SWAT.
As for the other weapons, they never had zoom in the first place so again I'd argue it's more accurate to describe the changes in H5 as adding zoom to all the weapons than saying it added ADS.
i figured a new thing to get annoyed about. ADS means Halo 5 does not have binoculars. I loved those for studying vistas on maps and stuff.
Welcome back!
Also, that's one beautiful avatar lol
Big thanks for Mister Chief, been a good source of hilarity over the years.
