*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 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 [[M12 Light Reconnaissance Vehicle|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 weapon is when the torso or head of your opponent fully occupies your reticule. | *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 weapon.

Weapons such as the [[Type-25 Grenade Launcher|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|auto-aim]]. If your reticule is not red, the magnetic targeting will not work, making it harder to aim. Weapons like the [[BR55HB SR Battle Rifle|battle rifle]] can achieve greater auto-aim range when scoped. | *The color of the reticule can also help you determine if the weapon is in range of the [[Auto-Aim|auto-aim]].

*In ''[[Halo: Reach]]'' there is an improvement to the reticule called the ''Reticule bloom'', this is where sustained fire will decrease the accuracy of the weapon being fired and also increases the size of the reticule. A way to stop this is to use short, controlled bursts of your weapon to make sure the bloom doesn't get too big. This is being removed, optionally or all-together, along with other changes, in the title update released by 343 later this year to accompany [[Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary]] | *In ''[[Halo: Reach]]'' there is an improvement to the reticule called the ''Reticule bloom'', this is where sustained fire will decrease the accuracy of the weapon being fired and also increases the size of the reticule.
