Subject: Bloom.

it needs to go or reduced even more. today i was playing and i hadnt played in a week so i was getting a little warmed up and i had some bad games, but there was a problem like i was getting better at all throughout the day, i thought i was having one of those bad days so me and my friends played some mlg zbns customs and i cant even explain how much better i was doing, i was getting so many kills and i was doing so well. the TU is fine but they need to add no bloom gametypes to more playlists than just mlg like the tu zb slayer playlist or something.

TL;DR - they need to add zb gametypes to other playlists than just mlg

In all honesty, I agree with you. However, I also would like to keep the bloom for those who don't want to play by those rules.

There is a TU gametype in Team Doubles.

and thats exactly what i want, turn the TU playlist into zb team slayer or add it to squad or something and i would be a happy camper

Your argument is persuasive OP. You should be a lawyer.

'Oh I was like totally getting more kills with no bloom so yeah'.

DMR Rate of Fire + No Bloom = ?

(Instant Kill Reach)




Yeah, have fun with that OP.

I really do not mind playing TU settings. Default Reach is disaster.

sorry man, i just meant i was playing much better when bloom was removed, and i think this works the same for the players that can actually aim all their shots properly, i dont mind the TU but i would like to see some zb slayer gametypes in other playlists besides mlg

  • 01.22.2012 1:41 PM PDT

Adapt.

Nah but seriously, we don't need anymore playlists with ZB in it now, we have enough already. I prefer bloom, as do most people on reach (not the forums, but look at the player numbers in the playlists)

We need ZB Swat !

Actually, I agree there, SWAT is the only gametype I have a problem with bloom in.

i would have to disagree, SWAT is a one shot kill game, having bloom would actually be a good thing because it force you to have good accuracy and always land the head shot

zb just raises kill time and removes a strategic part of the game. most fps' purposely made it difficult for you - fast speed, inaccurate weapons, no magnetism - but halo does none of these. adding bloom was an attempt to make halo a little less watered down and add a fight or flight value to it, but no, your game has to be shrinkwrapped with a guidebook and easy to use.

Life is a journey, if you spend all of it with your nose in your map, you may miss some of the best parts.

Play MLG or ZB Slayer.

And deal with it.

go play some ut2k4 and get back to me on how halo requires "skill".

you use the human headshot weapon and possibly the sniper, and that's about it.

Because clearly picking up and using weapons laid around the map is what makes people good. Disregard everything else like communication, setting up, etc, etc.

Hurr durr Halo takes no skill because you only have to use a few guns hurr durr

So if Halo requires no skill, how come you're so bad at the game?

bro get on halo pc and we'll see.

I've only been playing on console for a month, but I've been playing halo for the past 10 years. I know halo's gameplay, whether or not I'm good at console.
