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.

I think the reason there was no ADS in Halo was because that was its style. Destiny is a new game in a new world, I welcome ADS, Bungie shouldn't be bogged down because of their previous game. I trust they will place a let of references to all their other universes like they did in Halo though.
