Template:Ratings Auto-Aiming is a technique used by Bungie in Halo 2 and Halo 2 Vista while using a controller, to make targeting your opponent easier. This shifts the challenge from aiming to movement and strategy, unlike most FPSs. Other games using Auto-Aim completely lock on to a target, while Halo simply makes it easier.

Face painting

Face painting is the most well known and used form of auto-aim. Utilizing this can give you a large advantage. It was implemented by Bungie to counter combat lag.

Assisted Aiming

There are two types of assisted aiming in Halo games, Auto-Aim and Magnetism.

Auto-Aim defines and outlines how far a bullet will "bend" in order to hit an enemy. This is also affected by the speed at which the bullet moves and impacts.

Magnetism simply assists your aim by creating a sticky effect between your reticule and your target when in range. Unlike Halo: Combat Evolved, it will not work without you moving your reticle entirely.
