WTF WHY DOES A BRAND NEW PLAYLIST HAVE 100% BLOOM, ARMOUR LOCK AND SWORD BLOCK.


Not all the playlists have TU settings in yet there doing it bit by bit not all at once so deal with it


You'd expect a new playlist would be introduced with the TU settings already in effect, not 6v6 Team Slayer.

THATS MY COOL MAN I CAN'T TAKE IT OFF!

Why are there annv maps in there? We already have 4 playlists dedicated to annv maps. I go to the DLC playlist to get my fix of noble and defiant. Keep the annv maps out.

AXIOS you idiot.

Just remember that no matter how terrible you feel, or how much you want to let go, there are people who care about you and love you.

Cause your avatar scares mee O___O


This makes me lol everytime I click back on this thread xD

I'm not even supposed to be laughing either.

OT: what logic is there? I always thought of it as just an extra foe on both sides :V

Because they're DLC?

I just want to play Highlands again. I haven't seen it yet.

Such impatience! Is it that difficult to pace your shot?

You're on a retarded roll today.

No one good paces their shots.


Makes it hard with that ADD/ADHD eh?

And to clarify (before you get your teenage panties in a bunch): I prefer the TU bloom, but I'm not going to cry like a -blam!- about a video game.

Things they could stand to keep in this playlist:

sword block (come on, it may not be "consistent gameplay", but i love battling with the sword bro and cheating death instead of just having to run away.)

no bleedthrough (my magical shield of energy must be depleted before my super duper spartan suit is hurt by your little tiny bullets/fists. /opinion)


Things they could stand to change:

Removing Armor lock (its just kind of annoying, and i see no real argument for it, unless it is augmented drastically)

Bloom augmentation to 85% (im not feeling zb just yet, but im starting to play more reduced bl playlists and im starting to get used to it like it a little more. just need more zb players in my FL..)


Side-note: im fairly proficient without bloom throughout the halos, but prefer bloom in this game for some reason. its also cool the reticle finally does something besides turn green or red

Stay on topic, retard.


Check my edit. Though it seems it is too late.

I don't recall crying.


I was referring to the OP's post.

Any bloom sucks and can be used as a crutch. But I suppose you'd like that.


Yes, accuracy is a crutch. You got me.

  • 01.11.2012 8:33 AM PDT

Tin shacks and catfish bones.

That's individual accuracy vs preset accuracy all across the board.

  • 01.11.2012 8:38 AM PDT

both are equally accurate, as there is no gun recoil. one is slightly slower and paced though.
edit: by no recoil, i mean the reticle is left unaffected in terms of position. (there is a recoil animation, but no change in aim. how i do not know)

perhaps bloom would be more sensible if they included some actual recoil to push the gun up if you fire too fast?
Posted by: aBlueBookshelf
What is more accurate then, no bloom, or bloom?
D.e.r.p.

If you are better than your opponent, you are going to win. period. why would the 'better' player expose himself to the potential death that is a spamming kid with a bloom rifle? it is my opinion that the better player would know to back off, potentially tricking his enemy into reloading or chasing. i find that there is more to this game than "HUUR MAI DMR FASTER THEN URS" i love strategizing to win. war doesnt always come down to who has the better aim.


every kid ive found to be "worse than me" at this game, has lost with or without artificial aim enhancement. i found that bloom almost gave me the time to toy with people who i outmatched. I always kept a proper distance, enough to let bloom have its proper effect. paced shots always won me my engagements.

Zero bloom is also fun, its makes the game faster (remember though, speed is a characteristic independent of value or excellence), less forgiving in terms of addressing enemies when they first engage you, and it makes it feel like an older installment of halo. Its good times and fast paced, but not any more "skilled" in my opinion.

I feel your comments about there not being hope for me are rather disingenuous, you know nothing of me save for my screenname and spartan armor. I like both bloom-less and bloom-ful gametypes, have enjoyed competitive halo off and on since the halo 2 came out, and still enjoy them all.

R.I.P. Halo 2 <33333333
Do not play halo much anymore. Barely ever come on here.

They disappoint me.

or the person with the faster aim who can land all their shots before the other person can?

That's called spamming, bro.

  • 01.11.2012 9:22 AM PDT

I only played it to get my achevo and come to find out there is not objective wtf lame. They need to add objective to it.
