I've always liked this concept and I think it helps reflect the origin and purpose of different weaponry.
I think Halo nailed it, but my personal favorite was Red Faction: Guerrilla, which had all the crudely drawn reticles for the marauder weapons, and the rigid angular style for the federal weapons.
Dead Space also had such a fluid system which was so functional in addition to being a perfect and really an obvious match to the style of the tools and the theme of the game.

Overwatch reticles are quite good

I've never really given that any thought. Hm.

Edited by A Eggnog: 2/15/2017 10:04:36 PMI loved the reticles in Guerilla, I wish more games would take the time to create individual weapon reticles. Nailing the origin of the weapon/character with the reticle adds a huge amount to its story, in my opinion.
