The only people who prefer bloom are the ones who can't aim.

Who said I cared about whether or not they preferred it? I just simply shivved everyone who made arguments stating that zero bloom or an absence of bloom was bad for gameplay.

Aiming is used in both variants is it not?

lol no

Be more mature. You're supposed to be a freaking role model to the community. If you can put up a valid counter-argument to the thread I linked I'll start taking you seriously.

They rely on a random game mechanic to get them the lucky kill.

lol Bloom is so bad, yet CoD: Black Ops was added to the MLG events. Gears is also being looked at. Both games have all sorts of bloom in them.

Bloom is clealy an accepted game mechanic in the competitive community, it was simply implemented poorly in Reach.

thread against Bloom


Wait... So, what I gather is that someone that has an MLG account posted his opinions on the matter and since there is such a wide agreement on the subject they couldn't possibly be wrong?

I guess the world was never flat either?...

I thought that bloom was the gradual decrease in accuracy that occurs during a certain time frame when firing successive shots. With bloom implemented, I would think that players would have to start utilizing teamwork. But to say that "the only people who prefer bloom are the ones who can't aim" doesn't really make a whole lot of sense to me. Both cases of bloom and zero-bloom require a degree of aiming. If a DMR duel comes down to only one shot needed to kill either player, it would seem that they are both fairly even in terms of accuracy and precision, or they were both utilizing the same spamming tactic. Of course this is assuming that one player didn't get the jump on the other, in which case the ambusher should win. If a player only wins a DMR duel due entirely to bloom, I don't see them winning too many DMR duels. Honestly, I could see where zero-bloom would require more skill if there were no aim assist or over long and extremely short distances, but either way, bloom or zero-bloom, spamming at mid-range is an issue. But I would be willing to adapt either way 343 Industries takes it.

so manly even my sentences don't have periods

Might have the wrong end of the stick here (in which case, apologies in advance), but didn't the introduction of bloom have a direct negative impact on those people who use modded controllers to fire single shot weapons at a faster rate than should be possible?

If so, then whilst I understand the logic behind the argument for removal of bloom in an idealistic space, I actually appreciate it being in the game to counter such mods.

As said - could have this wrong...i know that it is definitely a factor in some other games, but not sure if Halo is one of them.
