One of the more important things for me about Halo3 is that the targeting reticle be moved back to the middle of the screen. I thought it was pretty silly that it was 2/3 or the way at the bottom of the screen, especially when the gun models were bigger than they were in Halo1, what does everyone else think? Why was it lowered in the first place? I'm actually really curious, if anyone knows PLEASE fill me in.

A little FYI to those that aren't sure what I'm talking about, I mean the circle that should be right in the middle of the screen.

Good deal, spread the word, there is no reason why this shouldn't be done.

Agreed. Also they have to pull the weapons back a little. They stick out to far. I guess a lot of this will come down to FOV and HUD matters. Have you seen how H2: CE is? Here you see the H1 rectile with H2 weapons. It gives you a better idea of changes to the rectile.

Does that mean the reduced FOV (tunnel vision) dropped it down?

When you mod Halo 2 to increase the field of view it makes the gun even more obtrusive over the reticle then it already is. However the reticle position doesn't change its just that the gun is slightly raised on the screen(when you increase field of view).

When you say H2:CE do you mean:

Halo 2 Combat Evolved - the mod for Halo 2

or

Halo 2 Custom Edition - the mod for Halo Custom Edition

I am...whimsical today.

I can't say I noticed the change. I got used to it when playing the game.
