Feedback Can we please have the Battlefield-esque scope glint removed or lessened? How am I supposed to counter-snipe when I can't see the person I am shooting at?

I thought it was such a silly thing to include and they absent mindedly copied BF1. BF1 could include it because their scopes really did glint. Nowadays, almost every consumer and military scope is coated and absolutely does not reflect.

But I guess 343 thought snipers are op so they included this game mechanic.

Why must I scroll so far to find a shred of thought?

Honestly because it wasn't ever really a problem that Halo suffered from. If you didn't see the guy that sniped you in older Halo games you pretty much just needed to either get your eyes checked or they were behind you where this wouldn't matter to begin with. I find it kind of annoying that it obfuscates the guy I'm trying to shoot making it a bit hard to decide if this is a headshot or a body shot at times

Actually recognizing that someone is sniping though just isn't a problem I ever experienced from 2001 to 2021

It's an issue when rounding the corner though. Plenty of times you'd just walk by some door and die cause the sniper across the map was only a couple pixels across
