Subject: Halo CEA Multiplayer to play EXACTLY like Reach?

When the executive producer from 343 in this interview from gamespot at gamescom is asked if the multiplayer will play similar to Reach or if the weapons will be re-tuned I'm confused by his response. He responds to the question by saying it will play EXACTLY like Reach. I'm confused though because you can see that bloom is removed and bleedthrough is back in the video on damnation from a couple of days ago. Also I remember in one of the updates on the Halo Waypoint forums it was said that they were going to make the pistol feel just like the pistol from Halo CE. It was also said that they would try to make the multiplayer feel as close to the original Halo CE multiplayer as they can. So weapons are actually be retuned and things are being changed so it won't play just like reach. So what the hell is this guy talking about? The question is asked at around 2:14. Here's the link to the interview: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=igU5yQ8AaCo

I don't know what the point in them changing the pistol would be since dmr without bloom will basically be the same thing.

From what I understand the only reason they didn't make a seperate multiplayer is because they didn't want to take away from reach's population, so they are trying to change it to be as close to halo 1 gameplay as possible.

They're changing alot of things to the gameplay. The halo 1 pistol would be good as long as you still have to aim it the same, or else it would be too overpowered.

The DMR and halo1 pistol could be in the same gametype. The pistol is a little less reliable at long range and headshots. The DMR is accurate as -blam!- and w/o the bloom and being 4-shot kill...you have a very good chance of taking down a ce pistol pro.

Wasn't the bullet magnetism in Halo CE making the pistol so accurate.
