Like most weapons in ''Halo: Reach''<nowiki />'s sandbox, the MA37 comes with a [[reticule|reticule bloom]]. A sustained fire will decrease the accuracy of the weapon; this is indicated by the expanding reticule. To compensate this, it is recommended to fire in short, controlled bursts. | |||

*Like the [[MA5B assault rifle|MA5B]] in ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'' and the [[MA5C assault rifle|MA5C]] in ''[[Halo 3]]''/''[[Halo 3: ODST|ODST]]'', the MA37 is efficient in taking down large squads of [[Unggoy|Grunts]].

*Brutes are also a similar challenge; it can take nearly an entire magazine to kill just one.

*Roughly half a magazine on a fully shielded enemy is all you need to kill them. While previous assault rifles have killed a fully shielded opponent in standard matches with exactly 16 shots, the MA37 seems to fluctuate in how many rounds are needed, sometimes needing more, sometimes less. | *Roughly half a magazine on a fully shielded enemy is all you need to kill them.

*The MA37 makes an excellent weapon for coordinated fire. Two or three players utilizing it against the same target can take down even an over-shielded opponent in seconds. This is an excellent tactic in objective games, as two or three defenders can stop practically any assault against your flag, hill, or bomb location | *The MA37 makes an excellent weapon for coordinated fire.
