*While the reticule is primarily for determining if you are aiming well or not, it can also be used to determine the spray of your [[Weapons|weapon]]. [[Weapons]] such as the [[Sniper Rifle|sniper rifle]] are very accurate and do not have a spray pattern or area of effect, so the reticule is very small, but [[weapons]] with a larger spray, such as the [[shotgun]] or the [[Warthog]] Turret have much larger reticules. If the torso of an enemy fully occupies your reticule, you can be sure that an instant kill with one of these [[weapons]] is a distinct possibility. This also applies in general, usually the optimum range for a [[weapons|weapon]] is when the torso or head of your opponent fully occupies your reticule.

*Remember also that the reticules of different [[weapons]] are different for a reason. [[Weapons]] such as the [[Brute Shot]] are much easier to aim if you know how to use the reticule to help you to aim it.

*The color of the reticule can also help you determine if the weapon is in range of the [[Auto-Aim]]. If your reticule is not red, the magnetic targeting will not work, making it harder to aim. Weapons like the [[Battle Rifle]] can achieve greater auto-aim range when scoped.
