He who cannot command himself should obey. And many can command themselves, but much is still lacking before they can obey themselves.
--Thus Spoke Zarathustra

Where have you been since Halo: Reach hit stores? Under a rock? There has been more hate threads against bloom and AAs it hurts my head to think you made a thread "wondering" about why people hate it.

Because randomness should never be programmed into anything. Playing with bloom is like rolling dice, it's totally random and has no skill with it.

But rolling dice is a skill...
Shirley, you can't be serious?

Let's make this clear...

The ACT of ROLLING THE DICE does take some minuscule amount of cognitive function and muscle ability which can be argued represents "skill."

That being said, the OUTCOME resulting from that "skill" DOES NOT have any correlation to said "skill."

The "skill" one exhibits "rolling dice" ENDS once the dice have been rolled. The sum of the dice are influenced in NO WAY by your initial "skillful" input. Otherwise, one would be able to predict and accurately roll the same sum of the dice over and over again. This we know is impossible because the rolling of dice is a random event.

No matter how "skillfully" you roll the dice the outcome will always be random.

You're beating a dead horse, man.

Stop listening to Akamia. He has no idea what he's talking about.

And you are not qualified to be telling people who to listen to, or not listen to.

That's true. However, you are judged on what you do or do not listen to.

Take it for what it's worth.

Fair enough.

However, what I don't like is when people say I don't know what I'm talking about, and not present evidence. And if I refute said evidence (or just flat-out not understand it), they don't even bother trying to explain what they are saying. It gets on my nerves.

No. I don't want to be on your level, if excessive arrogance comes with the territory. Believe me, that happens a lot in this forum.

You don't know what you're talking about. You attempted to claim that rolling dice takes skill (and somehow relates to Bloom). If that doesn't ruin your credibility as far as being able to take you as a serious intellectual I don't know what will.

I made no such attempt. You misunderstood my post. I should have expected that.

I merely stated that rolling dice takes skill (the act of rolling it, it had nothing to do with outcome). I made no attempt to relate it to Bloom. Which sentence did I make such a connection?

Although the bloom on the DMR was really bad, and it leaves much to be desired.

It doesn't matter if you were trying to draw a comparison or not. If you were, it was clearly ridiculous. If you were not, it was a completely irrelevant (and entirely banal) statement with no purpose except to demonstrate some sort of vacuous pedanticism.

Either way your input deserves no respect.

This is by far the dumbest argument I've ever read.

Rolling dice takes skill? I suppose that next you'll have me believe rock paper scissors takes skill too.

Randomness does not belong in Halo. It never did in Halo CE, 2, or 3, and people were put in their place. Reach, however, allows people to get random kills due to bloom.
