In my opinion the TU is great but zero bloom sucks.


Lets discuss

Just dumb, it's taking a huge step backwards

  • 10.04.2011 11:28 AM PDT

I'm still unsure if I actually enjoy it or not.

  • 10.04.2011 11:28 AM PDT

Feels like it's making Reach more like Halo 3, which is a step backwards to please the fanboys.

My problems [with Reach] are basically just full parties, mlg, and people who go out of their way not to get killed.

I am genuinely interested in this point of view. How can bullets going where you are aiming them be a step back from bullets going where you didn't aim them?

Everything but the pistol.

So what if I have a low K/D? I enjoy the game more than you do.

Needs tweaking, and a lot of it, but its better then default Reach.

I enjoy ZB. Finally having fun playing a halo game again. This feels like a huge step backwards... to when halo was fun and aiming mattered :)

  • 10.04.2011 11:32 AM PDT

I enjoy 85% bloom a lot. No bloom is great too but, I just wish the ROF was decreased.

Yes because we all know that trying new things is for idiots, let's stay in our nice safe box and never do anything new.

No one said not to try anything new. In fact, many of the people complaining were strong advocates for the need for Reach to be its own game.

What we don't need is change for the sake of change. Keeping things the same is better than throwing in dozens of negative changes that were largely unnecessary.

Haven't played it yet but it sounds like it need MORE no bloom games.

Exactly, we changed things up and they were not as good. There is no reason not to go back to the old ways and try to innovate again.

We tried bloom and the rest of those broken mechanics, and now the people want change. According to your ambiguous argument, keeping bloom would be "staying in our nice safe box and never doing anything new".

macdonald. Relax bro. No one will make you play the TU gametypes. I was just saying how happy I am with the way it plays. I have great memories about LAN games of CE when I was younger with all my friends. We'd spend hours doing that. And when I tried the TU, it reminded me of it in a way. When someone killed me, I was sure that I lost the fight because I was missing shots or they just plain out-played me. I haven't had that happen in a very long time. Thanks, 343.

I get the feeling they're going to force the old melee system on us though, and I for one love the new one.

The "new" melee system is mathematically unfair.

They're using the Halo 3 melee system in the beta playlist, in other words if you hit someone whose shields are half down you'll kill them, where as in Reach if you melee someone with a scrap of shield left they will survive.

I understand, but I've never played an fps where the melee system was perfect. There will always be problems with it. I remember how frustrated I'd get when someone AR rush meleed me in H3. Then in Reach, the new system seemed to be just as abused. And it isn't just Halo's problem. The rediculous COD commando knifing... I don't even need to comment on that one. BF3 is getting its fair share of melee complaints too. But punching aside, I'm having a blast with the changes.

  • 10.04.2011 11:53 AM PDT

Is zero bloom even in the playlist? Just played a game and there wasn't an option for the gametype.

Okay that's what I though you meant. Well I am happy melees have bleed again, the no bleed kinda ruined CQC, but I wouldn't mind the damage being reduced so melee is a three melee kill.
