Aiming down the sights?
According to [url=http://www.gameinformer.com/games/destiny/b/xbox360/archive/2013/02/17/bungie-leaves-halo-behind-as-it-embraces-its-new-destiny.aspx?PostPageIndex=2]this[/url] article from Gameinformer, we can actually look down our weapons' sights in Destiny.
I'm glad, if this is true--even though I could have sworn I saw a classic aiming reticle in the ViDoc, a'la Halo. Do we think this was just a placeholder, or is Gameinformer misinformed? (Pun intended).
I, for one, would welcome new ADS overlords. Even though I understood Halo's fiction about smart-linked weapons, and why that gave SPARTANs a reticle in their HUD, I've always felt that actually being able to aim down your weapon's sights in an FPS adds a layer of immersion that's otherwise unreachable. I really hope we CAN aim down sights in Destiny.

2 Replies@tsassi2: Yeah, the freedom of movement in Halo was one of the things that really set it aside from most other shooters. I hope they keep that too, but I imagine they will, since Destiny is purportedly going to have a real emphasis on exploration; hopefully there will be places that introduce platforming to find different or secret locations, kind of like what Guild Wars 2 has. @Glogsplat: True, that WAS Halo's style. So yes, with any luck Destiny will feature an ADS system. And oh, it's Bungie. I can't imagine them making a game without more than a few easter eggs or subtle references to their past works.
