5sk w/ no bloom at Reach's current movement setup is ridiculous. Improve strafe, improve ducking, lower to 4sk, make grenades stronger with longer fuse...

Ladies and gentlemen, I just recreated Combat Evolved.

Hanger one I just shredded with the SMGs until ammo was out and I just threw 'nades like a boss while BRing.

My experience playing Cairo Station on Legendary

The pistol will just become a god-tier weapon!

Big Daddy DMR will decimate at range, but the pistol will rule close quarters to medium range. It's spam-able and kills in the same amount of bullets.

CE's grenades sucked. I hate the ultra long fuse. I would rather have the Halo 3 fire crackers with the fast fuse. You needed to be more accurate. Not just carpet bomb all the time.

A four shot kill would be okay with me. Though the max rate of fire should be slowed a bit. Their will be some serious spamming of the DMR.

This is gonna suck. The BR all over again. We're all just gonna die because now all you need to kill someone is point'n'spam. And no one say "Bloom was random", because even if it is (which I don't think it is), than it's a whole lot better than dying in around three seconds. That's why the BR was removed.It was too good and no one ever used any other gun.


Sadly, thats where I draw a line of "opinions" and lacking knowledge of bloom system.

First thing, bloom in DMR is actually random and based on luckiness where it awards spammers instead of well paced shooters. I'm glad to see that bloom is removed for classic playlists.


So you think the hitscan, long range DMR that can fire fairly quick, with zero bloom meaning every shot will strike the head, is better then that?

Or at least a modified bloom?

So much spam. Again, I wish they would cap the rate of fire on the single shot guns. Close rage magnum duels with out bloom may be as random as they are with bloom.

I think so.

I've given bloom a lot of thought. Unless the system is brutally rigid and punishing(not fun), it will always produce questionable results.

ODST for life

I have a hard time grasping how things will stay in balance with no bloom for the accuracy based weapons like the DMR and Needle Rifle.

Why didn't 343i just give us a true remake of CE's MP? That's essentially what they're trying to do by turning bloom off. The DMR and Needle Rifle without bloom are going to be just as OP as the Halo: CE pistol (ok, that's not true but it's going to be close). I've never understood the logic behind that... clearly the community wanted a true remake of the MP as well as a revisit/revamp to the campaign.

Sometimes I wonder (or maybe it's I hope?) if they're planning on releasing some kind of MP only mash up of Halo: CE and Halo 2 as a stand alone.

Can't tell you how excited I am for this update. Only personal problem for me is that I start college at Emory in the fall and I'll have no time to play Halo -___________________- Damn it :/

Hello! You may also know me as Ijnekono. How you have made your way here I do not know, but welcome. (:

Wait, so the CEA and Reach multiplayer will be one? People with either game will be able to play together???
