If what we've seen so far is very close to the final HUD design, I agree immensely with the decision to not include an aiming reticle.
However, since it appears that no "Aim Down the Sight" option has been implemented I am wondering how aiming will work. Will it be a guesswork affair (estimating the center of the screen) or will be a sort of auto-aim... maybe one based on a firearm stat?

I believe that there is a iron-sight function in the game.

Check out the aiming in Red Ocean. The demo is now available. There is a crosshair but if you right click there is a slight zoom in to your target. I think it works well in practice. Something similar could work in BioShock.

i haven't seen a HUD recently period.
Personally, I want a crosshair, but it also helps on a console, where you may not need it as much on a computer
maybe not a full reticle, but at least a one pixel dot, look at gears of war... the "blind-firing" in that game is nearly impossible.

guys they just close the HUD because they give the person playing like Unlimited everything so they don't want you seeing the person playing get hit 5 million times and their health bar not go down;)

Please read around before posting worthless topics Xiedo. Ken has said, on this forum, that there is a HUD and there are reticles, although I imagine you can turn this off. Another developer also said before this that crosshairs have been in and they have been out, so it could still change before release. We have seen screenshots of ironsights, although I imagine this was in the no-crosshairs phase.
I, personally, really hope they start showing us "real" gameplay with the HUD included and no god-mode so that we can see how the actual game plays. The first video did this, and for this reason it was vastly more informative than the Hunting the Big Daddy video.
I also would like a setup with no crosshairs (on the PC at least. On a console aiming can get pretty impossible with no reticule or auto-aim, as can be seen in the Hunting the Big Daddy video).

Read around? Sorry, but there's no FAQ thread and no search function. How am I supposed to find any information?
News of a crosshair and no sights is a bit disappointing.

There is a reticle, and there are iron sights/zoom for most weapons as well.
Ka-Boom!
