There are more than one type of ACOG reticule.

Yep, millions of them. The numbers would be nice though but I think katarn wasn't bothered since they hold no true value without realistic ballistics curves.

Yes, but the one used by the USMC is the above picture

btw, any physical pictures as opposed to manufacturer graphs?

That's one from our military advisor Black Beret. Not too sure if it's a TA31RCO but still.......

My big problem with it is the hologram doesn't look bright, its a very dull red. Atleast that's the way it looked in a test build, I've yet to see if it was fixed in the final.

It's fine I think, not all Marines use that reticle.

It would look bright if you either looked at something very light or very dark. Dark will contrast, light will shine through because of transparency.

Perhaps one can bribe Kenwayy to see if he can find an ACOG and take a pic?

The ACOG we use in the one that's in game right now. Otherwise I'd be complaining right along with you.

IRL the 'brightness' of the red v and dot were a concern for us so we used 90mph tape to cover up the fiber cable on top of the ACOG to 'dim' it down and make accuracy a little easier.

So that's what that red thing on top is...

I haven't played marines yet, but I did steal an ACOG rifle on qwai. I thought it was pretty sweet, and while I don't particularly care about the correct reticle, I'm glad to hear that it is in fact right. Nice attention to detail katarn.

and that pretty much concludes this discussion.
