Descoping is doable in Halo 4. Yes its a modder whos managed to do it rather than 343, but damn.... if I could get descoping back in Halo 4 I might consider giving it another go.
Flinch just sucks balls.

The thing is. Descoping is actually a very good mechanic. Sniping takes skill and in Halo 4 sniping is easy because you don't descope. You can just pick of headshots. In 1 on 1 battles descoping caused the player to no scope. They could also scope again to try to win the battle. It created lots of competitive, hard battles. No scoping was a risk and scoping was a risk. It was different in every situation. With flinch you can easily draw into a gun battle and easily win since you don't descope, you can easily get headshots and pick of people who have say assault rifles in close range. Say if you could descope and an assault rifle attacker was shooting at you at very close range, you'd have to no scope and use your skill to get headshots. In Halo 4 you can just pick em off. Well at least I do. One reason I find Halo 4 easy is because of flinch. I still struggle with Halo 3 in lone wolves 40-50 lol. I know it was annoying but it made the game take more skill not to mention made the game more fair and competitive. Well that's my opinion though, haha. I just hope it comes back in Halo 5.
