im gonna say this once more. The lowered sight WAS NOT INTENTIONAL in number 2. There is NO PURPOSE TO IT! IT WAS A **** UP ON BUNGIES PART. I apologize for those being in caps but i wanted people to really focus on those points. In the dvd of halo 2 you see a scene of the guys going oh man we screwed up. the bullets are hitting like an inch below (and inch on a tv MATTERS trust me.) where the target recticle is. So instead of gearing up and pointing the gun to the middle of the screen or hell even simply adjusting the bullet code to hit dead center. They lowered the sights. It also does affect gameplay for simple reasons. I dont like feeling as though im peaking over a desk when shooting at someones face. I sincerely hope bungie was smart enough to put in an option at least to re center the sights.
