It's not spamming if there is no bloom.
its still mashing the trigger as fast as possible with zero thought, which=spamming
If there isn't any bloom, then why wouldn't you pull the trigger as fast as possible? If you pace your shots, you're going to die.
it doesnt take skill, you defending button mashing is like defending using a turbo controller on a semi auto rifle meant for single shot
A DMR IS semi-auto -blam!- people need to learn what the hell is going on. In a FPS game, a shot should not be randomized for the fact that casual gamers would get dumped on by higher skilled players.
I believe bloom was introduced due to the sole fact that Bungie KNEW there was going to be no TrueSkill in the game, and thus needed to find a cheap and confusing way to close the skill gap. So why not randomize shots with bloom? It only hurts better people who can keep their reticle centered on their opponent. Plus, any shooter game that relies on a luck factor for 95% of it's precision-weapons battles ruins the concept of competitive gaming.
Bloom = Crap
Only the skilled and longtime fans know this. The casual, less-skilled players support it. Who do you trust?
Trueskill is in every Microsoft published game. Risk on XBLA even has it. So, no. Trueskill needs a good population in order for it to work, which It can't in Reach.
Regardless, I liked the idea of bloom. Halo was dictated by, first shot won. Which works, obviously but bloom had the chance to make it so overall skill will win a fight as opposed to who sees who first. It failed, terribly.
