I'm coming back to Halo Reach just yesterday to find new gametypes that I've never heard of and a title update that I didn't know came out. I am going to apologize in advance if these questions have been answered but I have been searching the interwebs but to no luck. Here goes...

First off, I know, from reading online, that the TU changed bloom, (making it configurable), changed armor lock and active camo properties, and returned the 3-shot magnum. That is all well and understood. My question is do the TU gametypes have ZERO bloom? Because when I play them, I notice that my magnum and DMR have some bloom. Is it just reduced? Also, are the Anniverary gametypes the same as the TU gametypes?

Second question: Can I configure bloom in customs? If so, how? Cause I have searched for a menu item but couldn't find one pertaining to bloom.

Thirdly, Is this Zero Bloom/Reduced Bloom/Armor Abilitiy Changes going to become permanent in ALL playlists?

Thank you in advance for any answers/help.

TU gametypes have 85% bloom, AL and AC neerfed, and sword block removed.

Anniversary has all that plus a 3 shot kill magnum and a custom gravity.

I don't think so. Anniversary gametypes are specially tailored to be like "classic" Halo. The magnum is semi-auto and is as lethal as the CE version. I think some less noticeable weapon tweaks (AR?) are also in place to improve the loyalty so to speak.

Wow, that was a fast responce, thanks a lot :) Now, a quick follow up question: TU gametypes DON'T have 3 shot magnum and custom gravity/player speed?
