I find it a bit more realistic. Bullet spread would happen at a higher rate of fire.

Actually I now understand how bloom should have been. What one of yous said down below or something, the mechanics of bloom and how it should have been.

Guys, really? This thread is way too serious... Like, stop commenting... D:

Because randomness should never intentionally belong in a competitive shooter.

I don't hate Bloom.

But there are a boatload of others who do.

Alas, this fanbase is unpleasable. People will complain about anything. Me, I look at things differently, and in so doing, I tolerate any change that happens throughout a franchise. But I kind of get disappointed when someone flat-out forces change on everyone on an already-released game.

I can play with it or without it but I prefer to play without.

This is Halo.

So?

Realism would raise the skill gap. In fact, anything in real life is more skillful than Halo. Or any video game, for that matter. This is why I believe this to be true.

Why are you comparing video games to real life?

"skill" is just a means of knowing the maps, having good hands to aim with and being about to "outsmart" someone on the map. problem with it is people get egos for "skill" and its JUST a video game......

You're thinking that fake bullet physics are better than realistic bullet physics??? So much for a brain... -_-

Because while it's a genius concept, it wasn't implemented correctly. It doesn't do its job and needs to be changed from what it was originally.

I find it more realistic. Bullet spread would happen at a higher rate of fire.


The year is 2555 not 2010. The DMR has bullet spread like a gun in the civil war. With the advanced technology they have in 2555 you would think a gun they are using would shoot straight every time and not be so random, right?

You are correct that it those are indeed elements of skill. Possibly the only elements so far. But with people crazy about expanding the skill gap, there is more to it than that.

Quite. That's when it goes into the acceptable breaks from reality. A gun that shoots straight every time (bar the Sniper Rifle) would be too good for the purposes of the multiplayer mode, as far as I'm concerned.

The reason I play Halo is because there isn't randomness to the reticule. Well, in the first 3 games....

I know how I'm gonna remember Reach.

Well we all know your opinion matters on what would be good for multiplayer purposes.
