In Bungie’s weekly update for the 29th of January they discussed a few rumors that had spawned, mainly because of this image:

Bungie has debunked these rumors in their latest update

• The reticule off to another side is a bug – the reticule will remain in the center for the shipped product
• The pixelated writing was just random code – this screenshot was taken from the Alpha build
• The textures are being updated all the time and we can expect a higher amount of detail than the one in the image
• The HUD in the final is almost certainly NOT yellow

The human weapons in Halo Reach are also set to be hit scans except for the Rockets and Shotgun. When a weapon is Hit Scan it basically means if the reticule is red and you shoot it’s an automatic hit – meaning you do not have to lead your shots like in Halo 3. The shooting will feel more like Halo 2, which is better as far as most people are concerned.

Included in the friday update were gun sounds for everyone to listen to. I took the pleasure of re-upping them here for you guys to hear without clicking links etc.

Assault Rifle

DMR

Frag Grenade

Mystery – Gun not known. Sounds like a tracking system though

Plasma Grenade

Sniper Rifle

Stay tuned for more info as it comes!
