For anyone who has a problem with the reticule I have a question. When you play Halo CE after playing Halo 2, do you have a problem like shooting over someone's head? I most certainly don't. The FOV's are different, so there is no real way to really compare the two postions of the reticule. When you shoot a gun and aim with a scope, the barrel is still below the eyes. Technically for a gun to be centered on what you are seeing, the barrel would have to be perpindicular and tangent to your eyes. Another way would be that the barrel has to be perpindicular and tangent to one of your eyes, while the other is closed. This is not the case, in Halo and in real life. With the reticule in Halo 2, it is representive of the barrel in reference to your eyes. When you place your eye on a scope, that barrel is below your horizontal eye level. With a reticule down there, it does not mean that you are shooting at an angle.
