No, you see, I did that after burst firing. I can't make heads or tails that way.


I don't even know what you're saying at this point, sorry. The Halo 3 SMG has bloom.

Maybe it would help if there was a video... Testing it myself didn't work, I guess.

Well, if you want to be realistic, do you really think that a SPARTAN will feel the kickback of the rifle? Remember that they weight a lot and they are also very strong in that armor. I know that those spartan III suck but, still!!!

Depends on the round the rifle fires.


Well, I dont know anything about guns but, I checked and this is the bullet it uses. Doesnt seem pretty big. We need a COD gun expert to give his opinion.

Good to know, thanks for the link. Actually, that recoil does make sense. The 7.62x51mm (aka the .308 Winchester) is strong round. I found a video of a regular guy shooting a gun that fires the exact same round: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4NzYT6fByIY&feature=relate d

Actually, now I feel like the bloom in Reach with the DMR isn't as ridiculous as I did before, but it still doesn't make sense to me that even while holding still and aiming through a scope, a Spartan couldn't fire the rifle quicker/more accurately.

You know a lot about 25th century weaponry.

You got me, I'm actually a time traveler from the future.

I don't hate bloom. I'm a good player and I can deal with it.

  • 12.11.2011 1:01 AM PDT

because shooting like a madman is fun

I hate bloom because it makes the assault rifle seem impossible to use.

"Tolerance of intolerance is cowardice." - Ayaan Hirsi Ali

It was a gameplay mechanic that wasn't implemented as well as it should have been.

I don't hate it; I merely disliked it.

Only the tryhards would go as far as to say that they hate it.

Does anyone have lotion?
*Raises hand*
Is mayonnaise a lotion?

I'm indifferent. I don't really care about it.

Okay, listen, we should get our stories straight, all right? If anyone asks, and no one's gonna ask, don't worry, but if anyone asks, tell them as far as you know, the last time you checked, everyone looked pretty much alive, all right? Not dead.

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"
