Zero bloom doesn't work with Reach's movement physics.

Edit: Let me elaborate. Reach's physics, even when set to "classic" style movement, does not allow for proper strafing like in previous titles. It's like when you dodge left and right, you're suddenly swimming in Jell-o and can't maintain full speed.

Therefore making ZB gunplay suck IMO because most of the time if you get the first shot you're guaranteed the kill. ZB sounded good to me but after experiencing it I have the opinion that it simply doesn't fit in Reach.

Reduced bloom pretty much allows for close to mid range spamming to still be effective.

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

Nah, it's spread's worse than the Halo 3 BR. Too inconsistent to be remotely fun for me - might as well use the AR.

The only playlists that should have bloom are Living Dead, SWAT, and 80% in BTB and Invasion.

Other than that

Zero, although strafing is still retarded and they need to shorten the scope

They all suck, 100% is too much, and 85% or less is too little. Hell crouching at 85% is practically ZB anyways. IMO, 90% would be fair, and only if the crouching bonus was reduced a little on top of that. But as is, I prefer 100% to anything else.

I actually agree with this. It is very difficult to strafe in Reach. I like 85% because you can't spam, yet it still works at long range in BTB.

  • 01.23.2012 5:51 PM PDT

If they would increase the movement speed in every playlist it would be perfect.
