What is all the big fuss about?

Reach is just a game, and I am pretty sure it isn't the only one at that. If you don't like reach, play something else that suits you better and don't start flaming/trolling on teh !n7ern3t$.

Idk about bloom but I do hate AA's. However it doesn't mean to say I can't use them to my advantage.

the bloom will only be off in certain playlist like classic


For a time. I thought that if it was widley popular they would apply it to the rest of the playlists in Reach.

Maybe I'm wrong.

Make a game for the casuals, the competitive players get angry.
Make a game for the competitives, the casuals don't care.

I like it, the DMR has long range and precision.

Plus bloom lowers spamming.

Bloom adds so much to this game, it's so realistic that my gun stops shooting straight after the second shot.

It stops people from spamming the DMR like they did the BR, because it's totally possible to spam the BR with its fixed fire rate and no penalties for firing fast.

We need randomness in this game because people consistently being able to outplay worse players is boring. It's really boring.

This game without bloom will suck.

And Armour Lock rules! All you people who complain suck because you don't seem to know how to throw grenades. God you guys suck.

Totally. -blam!- skill gap, -blam!- playing competitively. Randomness is fun. I hope Halo 4's MM is based entirely on luck so I can pretend I'm good some more.

BTW I totally love how often I outplay noobs with AL. It's by far the hardest AA to use, I mean, press LB and wait for team-mates to carry me? Hard stuff. BTW, ~9 second DMR kill times in a 1v1 vs an ALer don't slow the game down, because I don't fully understand the concept and have blind love towards my faithful crutch.

You and me would get along great

There is nothing for us but what we make for ourselves.

I agree that Bloom-less DMR is going to be a serious problem.

I don't agree that Reach didn't need a TU

You know that there will be a Reach vanilla experience also, right?

I know, I find it hard to wrap my head around it also.

DMR with no bloom: not only does it shoot super fast, but it can cross map. In that video the guy killed someone in like 2 seconds, so whats the point of using anything else? halo 2 and 3 all over again?

Armor lock: armor lock is fine, it is super easy to counter (THROW GRENADE OR WAIT) These changes 343 is doing is just because they listen to whiny kids and not the true fans. Clearly, those who hate things like armor lock cannot adapt and are therefore not fans.

Halo reach does not need a title update.


i've said this befor but it bares repeating. so i'll say it again.

if you are not old enough to legaly buy the game (bellow 17)
your suggestions and/or complaints should be out right ignored.

Lol who trolls forum haha weenies.

You can't spell GARBAGE without AR.

While I don't like bloom, I didn't want it to be removed, just changed. I thought the bloom was fine with the pistol and Needle Rifle; you knew when spamming or pacing was effective with those weapons.

The DMR on the other hand needed revisions; The line between spamming and pacing is ambiguous; sometimes spamming works and doesn't work in close and med. range. What I wanted was the bloom on the DMR reticule to expand much further with each shot, but for the reticule to retract at an exponential pace. This will punish spammers much more and those who pace will be paid dividends.

I also dislike most of what 343 is planning to do. The DMR should not retain it's 5sk at long range with no bloom; not only will it be obviously OP, but it will most likely upset the whole balance of weapons; not that they were perfect in the first place. I do like the AL nerf though. What I don't like was damage bleed through; remember the old Halo 3 days of 6 AR rounds and a melee for a kill?

And for those who want to attack my stats to disagree, I don't use the DMR much but instead use the pistol in it's place instead. (The bloom on that is much greater among other things) If you do use my stats against me, not only are a dick, you are also committing a fallacy of ad hominem; where one attacks the person instead of refuting their ideas. (Common in politics.)

No point to it, when you think about it.

They should make two playlists. One with bloom, one without. PROBLEM -blam!- SOLVED.
