Ok something has been getting to me since the original Halo and that's there is no way to use iron sights. In case you don't know what iron sights are, think of holding an actual weapon and aiming down the sights without a zoom, just the sights. I think there should be a way to iron sight, to me it adds more realism and makes killing someone in a hail of gunfire that much more enjoyable.

What do you people think?

It is cool to have iron sights in FPS's for sure, but in halo i think it would just complicate things.  It is a rather hectic game.

Well if I remember correctly the sights automatically link up to the chief's visor and therefore HUD.

Sooo you don't really have to aim with the iron sights.

Though I think they should make it like that for covie weapons cause I mean the HUD wasn't programed for those weapons.

all the guns accurate enough to take advantage of sights, have a scope, i dont think sights would matter much on an SMG

Iron sites wouldnt fit the style of halo. halo the run n gun type. Iron site would require you to reduce movement. It just wouldnt feal rite. if you want iron sites get call of duty 2. Not 3 cuz its a rip off.

Not trying to rag on you or anything, but when does Halo need to be "realistic"? I am sorry, but i have seen other people say crap about Halo not being realistic and i really want to hit them in the face with a baseball bat. I think Halo doesn't really need it, but games in the genre of modern warfare or the WW shooters should have it. I mean they are trying to make a game about either historic or modern things. If they make those unrealistic it might as well be a futuristic title.

Relax...I realize that not very much of Halo is "realistic" I was just saying....Hell I dunno anymore it's like 11:08PM where I am and I haven't slept in like 2 days. HAHAHAHA

I was trying to say that iron sights wouldn't fit the style and feel of Halo (which is unrealistic to the max). Plus futuristic games are supposed to put answers to why they don't do things that modern or pre-modern things do. And they can make up almost anything like Master Chief actually pin points all the shots with a little side coming on the side of his foot. And with that you really couldn't agrue.

I'm not getting upset or anything (even though it may seem like that) i am just trying to make a point. That reason is that it would take away from the style and feel of halo and bungie may already have answered why there is no iron sights.

if you notice in Halo games, the HUD is invisible when you go into the sights so not using it for zoom would just be strange.

in a game like halo iron sights wouldnt work..but i do agree with you that iron sights are cool and i really do enjoy them in games. halo is just way to frantic though..i dont think you would really have time to look down the iron sights.

Personally I like it the way it is. I don't see something like that adding anything significant to the gameplay other than making me want to press another button before shooting.

yeah, too many controls to fit in an ADS button i think. and also, it gives halo a bit of originality...

adds to realism? .. .. .. halo is in no way realistic to start with, its an arcade style shooter and I dont see what good an iron sight would do.
