I prefer the ^ shaped reticle (don't know its official name) in FPS, and have used it in many, so I was glad to see it was the reticle on the MIDA MT. However, after I started using it today while patrolling Venus, I noticed a problem. Either I have been aiming this reticle wrong in every game I have ever used it in, or it's just implemented wrong right now in Destiny. Instead of the bullet traveling to the tip of the ^, it instead seems to be going underneath it, as if you were placing a hat on top of that Fallen Vandal's head. Whipped up a quick artistic masterpiece on paint to demonstrate what I mean.
#1 is what it should be, #2 is what it has been performing as for me while using it. Sure, I can adjust for it when I have plenty of time and distance, but when trying to take out many and quickly, it becomes a nuisance. If I am incorrect about this reticle or the proper way to aim it, let me know (I'm not an expert gunsmith or anything), but if I am not mistaken this is a bug that needs fixed. Other than that, it is a great gun.

Both my other scouts seem to shoot a little low as well. Seems to be a common problem.
-
I was noticing the gun not exactly heading toward the tip of the ^... Glad to see I'm not just retarded.
-
I've began noticing this too myself.

All the Red dots aim like this. Its an easy fix. Do #2 and every scout riffle will 4 shot easy peasy.

Edited by TitanGear: 11/21/2014 10:25:06 PMBungie has this "In my opinion retarded" method of your gun auto tracking targets and even though your bullet is spot on its curving towards the enemy when you pull the trigger. Ill give an example. In Halo you had to shoot the hands of the Jackals to get them to stagger away from their shields and pop em in the head. The Cabal do the same thing but When I shoot this hands the bullet track immediate to the center of mass and hits the shield... Wtf! also when I try to hit a Dreg in the head which i clearly see the top of begin a box I shot at the crate? I know where my reticle is at but the bullets aren't listening. I believe thats the problem you are facing. Just a bad system of auto tracking thats not needed.

It's that reticle, my Proxima does the same thing.
-
Haven't used it yet as I'm at work, however if that's actually how it is. That sucks.
-
I just got mine last night and haven't tried it out yet. Beautiful artwork, by the way.

Bump.
