You should know when you weapons lock. You have to work really hard to greif that much.

Oh well i think that its only a matter of having your reticule on top of the person you are shooting at which would make it red.

Theres a red sign at the bottom of your screen, i forgot what it is but it also has a timer next to it, counting down the time left on your lock.

i was playing at my friends house the other day, and our teamates kept walking into our LOS so we got grief points, eventually we got weapons lock which gave a notification and put an ugly 30:00 minute countdown in the center of our screen

The reticule turning red isn't exactly a lock, it's just an indication that, yes, your bullets will likely end up hitting the target. It's useful for extremely long range shots, and for using turrets, as I don't believe you get the orange flash to signify that you're hitting your target while in a turret.
