One tiny thing I’ve noticed that, as far as I can tell, NOBODY has pointed out is that the Battle Rifles reticle (or crosshairs) change shape from the E3 presentation to the vidoc we got yesterday.
In the E3 reveal B-roll, the BR has an entirety new reticle, what appears to be a tiny circle (not unlike the sniper rifle’s reticle) but with big horizontal and vertical lines connected to it, forming a large plus sign around it.
Now whenever we see the BR in yesterday’s Vidoc, it has the classic reticle from Halo 2 & 3, four horizontal and vertical lines forming a cross with a gap in the centre, and four quarter circles between the lines, none of it connected.
I like both. Though honesty I’m leaning in favour of the “newer” one, just because it’s a bit different. But I’m also a sucker for keeping things classic…
But why are they different? Are we seeing 2 different builds of the game here, one older and one newer? If so, which way around is it? Which BR reticle will we see in the final game?
These are the things that keep me up at night…
I think it was for cinematics

Unyshek had a Twitter exchange about it. He said that neither is final, but the classic style one is more in line with where he thinks they are trying to end up with the reticle.

Ah thank you, I follow him on Twitter and have been looking to see if anyone has commented on the subject but I couldn’t find anything!
Kinda disappointed that it’s going back to the classic look. I mean, it is classic, but as I said in my OP, I quite like the other one!

I love that out if all of the words you used Shape Shifting.
