The new pic of the Assault Rifle just confirmed one thing for me.

Look at the first pic of the Assault Rifle reticule: (Be sure to expand and look at how the reticule looks)

Then look at the latest pic: (I know its probably old in the Reach production timeline, but its till valid for proving my point)

Look how in the first pic he just started shooting, so the ring in the reticule is in the middle, but in the second pic, he has been shooting at the Jackal for a period of time. The ring is now clear outside the reticule, so it almost looks like an SMG.

This is what Bungie called Reticule Bloom in one of their podcasts (I didn't listen to it, but I saw someone else say this who did listen to it). The longer you shoot, the larger your reticule expands and decreases your accuracy.


Also, Powerhouse looks awesome.
