My phone cant do half the things I can on my laptop for some reason, son we'll half to make do without quoting and hyperlinking.

You could never ADS on automatics in any Halo game, other than ODST, which did not feature competitive multiplayer, and H2A.

Smart scope in the H5 beta does, in fact, decrease spread and make automatics effective long range weapons. The issue isn't with it's functionality on precision weapons, but on ARs, SMGs, and the like, where it extended their range far past what they were in pervious titles (encouraging their use over skill-based weapons like the BR and DMR). If you don't believe me on the accuracy issue, HaloFollower made a video on the topic, called "Smart scope does WHAT?" Or something like that. The actual test is in the description, I believe.

343 said what you are saying - that it was aesthetic and didn't affect gameplay. But it does.

Or am I forgetting that the H3 AR and SMG had zoom? If I remember correctly, it just brought up a visor zoom that went away the instant you shot.
