I'm in love with Jesus and proud of it!
I have heard from multiple sources that there was never any bloom or auto-aim in HCE. While there is no bloom in the old CE or CEA, in CEA I was playing and noticed that my reticle would lock onto and track an opponent who was close enough. Also, there is a skull in the game that, when activated, removes auto-aim. Is this a trait from the original HCE, or 343i tweaking with the game's mechanics?
