Halo: Reach is the beginning of a new age for gaming.
It proves that developers can get away with punishing their players instead of fixing their game....and yet the fanboys will still sing praises to them.
-blam!- all of you fanboys!

Bloom was never a problem. I enjoy it. It's better than a spam fest of Best-Connection-Wins.
Uhm... bloom was who ever had the best connection wins. No bloom who has the better accuracy wins.
Well..sometimes that Columbian host plays a tad factor into connection>skill. Just a wee bit.
It should be more like this.
Bloom rewarded whoever had better teamwork.
No bloom rewards those with better connections.
How you consider it any other way than that, is idiotic. Thinking that having bloom comes down to connections...are you serious? you can't be, cause anyone with a brain knows that connections had nothing to do with bloom winning a battle for you.
It certainly plays a role when bullets go to the same spot every time you pull the trigger. Because now, it comes down to hit detection.
Scenario.
2 people of equal skill are shooting at each other with a weapon with zero bloom.
Who wins?
The guy with better connection/hit detection or whoever shot first.
Scenario.
2 people of equal skill are shooting at each other with blooming weapons.
Who wins?
The guy who had help from a teammate, or got lucky through spam.
Believe it. Bloom actually took host advantage down a notch.. and you -blam!-es cried about it. Which is no surprise cause most of you think this game is all about "YOU". If the game is punishing you for trying to be a Rambo. instead of encouraging teamwork....it's only natural that you cry about it. Because that's just the way you people are.
Let me ask anyone who's reading this a simple question.
How often do you just pick a teammate...and follow them and back them up?
How often do you just, gung-ho. run for the sniper, run for your camping spot. and farm kills all day, ignoring anything else in the match other than your K/D ratio?
How often do you get assists?
Halo Reach, from what I saw was terrible at detecting a legitimate assist, so this is a bs question.
For the most part, Teamwork to this community is putting a bunch of 2.0 K/D "Rambo" players in a room with a bunch of random noobs. Now just because you're awesome sauce and can hold your own, and the rest of your team holds their own. Doesn't make you team players. Cause if you were team players you'd have had ZERO issues, with Bloom.
Unless of course you think 1 spamming noob can consistently take on 2 Team players?
And just for the record. I think substituting host advantage in favor of lucky spam.. WAS A GREAT IDEA!
Because you can overcome that "lucky spammer", you can't do anything about host advantage!
