Subject: No Bloom confirmed for Anniversary

343 posted this video yesterday but quickly made it private so only a few people saw it...

but they recently made it public again. It's a bit long so I shortened it down to just show the lack of bloom confirmed:

Sorry, I didn't see joey8428's thread when I posted. Must have been a few seconds before, while I was writing it.

We are all going to get banned aren't we?

I don't see how this is possible since every game has bloom..

Are you referring to the bullet spread in previous titles? Or something else? Because that's not the same thing as bloom... and in CE, the spread was very minimal, especially with bullet magnetism factored in.

I wouldn't worry about that, your post actually has some content!

I wouldn't get your hopes too high, this may just be a playtest build, it might simply not have the bloom graphic for the HUD switched on.

Wrong forum and site.

Yeah, that's definitely something we should all keep in mind :)

Speaking of chuckles, let's all lol at IonicPaul, who makes friends with bugs to make up for his lack of human contact.

How is this special? They said they'd never change the campaign's gameplay. Why would they add bloom?

Or are they referring to the Reach half-title-update-half-game-settings-maps?

I think the 2nd part

Cool story, battle bro!

Also, the game.

No bloom? yay!

*armor locks*

FFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

I don't like how people call it bloom. I'd much prefer the term weapon inaccuracies because that's what they really are. I used to play a lot of Counter-Strike and I thought it made a lot of sense. You die fast enough in Reach with well timed and placed shots. I think most people just grief about it because they're just not use to it or aren't as good with it.

Seeing armor lock back is what really pains me.

Well I think another contributer is because it's been proven to be more effective on average to spam your shots than actually pace. I think most veteran fans prefer a skilled shot over random chance.

Though other than that, I do agree that a large portion of griefing is probably just because people aren't used to it.

Still has "bloom" you just can't see the reticule move.

That's cool. The Armour Lock seemed to drain when the player got hit by a explosive too.

EDIT: I am wrong about that second part, he just exits Armour Lock...

I'll logically wait to make that claim when 343 produces some real content.

Come on! Stop trolling us I swear to god that's Halo: Reach..

Yeah, that's the MP portion, which is confirmed to be Reach. Not a new engine.

  • 08.17.2011 5:30 PM PDT

So, just the seven Halo CA maps have no bloom?

Or is it the entire Reach MP being updated to have no bloom?
