Zero bloom is terrible. Way too easy to get kills, the ZB pistol is ridiculously easy to get kills with, all you have to do is spam the trigger..


As if it were any different before, at least now you're in control of the aim instead of random luck of chance. You just suck and have to depend on broken systems to get kills, pathetic.

bigger skill gap = less fun for the worse players so they stop playing, average players then quit because they are now the worst players and die a lot. outcome we end up with a small boring halo community of elites, fair, yes, boring and repetative, yes.


That's why they made the true skill systems -.-

Yes, but only slightly.

Bloom and zero bloom has had the same effect on the game in my opinion.

I would much rather prefer 85% bloom since it fits in with the current Reach multiplayer, but zero bloom with enhanced movement speed would balance out the situation that would result in a faster paced halo multiplayer.

Last time I checked, you still have to aim with bloom.

If my reticule is on your dome when the bloom has reset, I'll get the headshot.

If the reticule is on your dome and I'm at full bloom, I may or may not get the headshot (this is the gamble you take for firing too quickly)

You see how it works? The game isn't "aiming for me"... in zero bloom you have to aim EXACTLY the same way you aim before, your shot is just always going to land in the same exact spot regardless of spamming the trigger (zero bloom actually ENCOURAGES spamming)

Obviously I suck because I think zero bloom is bad (any good FPS is going to have bloom).. you are an idiot.

Except that you were rewarded for spamming in Reach and punished for pacing. Because the damn spammer won 80% of the time! This is why their bloom was broken. How are you STILL not aware of this?! WHY DO YOU THINK 343 IS REMOVING IT?! ARE YOU RETARDED?!

I really don't understand what you just wrote sorry

  • 10.30.2011 7:48 PM PDT

No, it decreases it.

  • 10.30.2011 8:49 PM PDT

343 will save us

Yes, but the kill times are just ludicrously fast to the point it's not fun for me. If I run into 2 players on the opposite team I might as well just drop my controller because there isn't even enough time to turn around and run away. If the 2 players knew how to play the game at all they'd drop me before my controller hit the ground anyway.

I prefer 85% bloom.

Name's John. I'm a 21-year-old firefighter/EMT from lolhio who doubles as a die-hard Halo fan. I've been enjoying the franchise since 2001. My favorite iteration of Halo would have to be Halo 2 simply because I never got to experience the joy of a full-on Halo: CE LAN.


If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

Oh yeah, and boot Zome.

Oh look, another kid who thinks you can spam with a fixed rate-of-fire. What else is new?

No.

  • 11.01.2011 3:52 PM PDT

No, it does not. I was expeciting the title update to increase the win gap in DMR duels between the spamer and the pacer, with zero bloom all it did was make the spamer always win.

Its not my actions that define me, but under what light I'm being looked upon.


Me after a physics lecture "So what you're saying is, non of it actually exists"
Yellow box "and I thought we were crazy"

bloom decrease, what!!!! it should increase.
