Agreed. All the changes are good and add variety. Do we really want another Halo 3? Just running around with one gun and no armor abilities? It's good that 343 wants to try something new. Do we really want the same thing for three more games?

Didn't they specifically call the Needle rifle the "Dolphin gun, Destroyer of Worlds"?

If I'm not confusing myself, they specifically created 85% bloom to tone down the needle rifle's effectiveness, but the thing is, the NR has virtually 0% spread on 85% bloom, so I'm wondering what the point of that change was.

"In Halo 3 not all 50's were good players, but all good players were 50's."

Your opinion is invalid.

I don't think that's right. 85% bloom makes the needle rifle better if anything.

Once they made 85% bloom, they called it that. It sucked before the update agaisnt a dmr (unless you were host)

Which is why I'm wondering why 343 even bothered to make 85% bloom.

Maybe I'm confusing the reason why they did it.

You're confusing yourself.

It was in one of the bulletins but I don't feel like searching for it to help you out.

I like the changes 343i made to the NR.

I was being sarcastic though.

I hate bloom and every game of TU I pick the Needle Rifle up as often as I can.

One of those days.

Opinion ahoy!

Reduced bloom is what it should have been in the first place, and it works much better than zero bloom.

NR works much better as a 6sk

Otherwise I don't like the reduction of bloom. Zero Bloom is better than 85%

Just don't start firing just after reloading or switching to it and it's the same thing.

Hitscan BR is the best option, if you ask me.
