I don't care about how much "skill" bloom takes or doesn't take. It adds randomness. Which, no one wants besides people who would lose all their fights otherwise.


Bingo.

I don't even understand why they HAD to add it in all of a sudden to their last Halo game. What in the Hell was the point in touching something that wasn't in need of being touched? Why try to fix something that isn't broken? Throughout all of their Halo games up until their very final Halo release, Halo had little to no influence of weapon Bloom. All of a sudden, they HAD to put it into their last game on nearly every weapon. Some times I truly believe they did it just to piss us off. Had half of us not actually gotten caught up in all of the hype during the beta, we could've probably saved this game.


I believe they added it for the same reason they added sprint. They didn't need it, but all the CoD fans demanded that Halo be more like CoD for some reason, and Bungie went along with it. No one ever bothered to mention to anyone that Halo didn't need either.

Edit: Not bashing CoD, or CoD fans, just using CoD as an example.
Not even just that, but the previous titles were still quite successful WITHOUT weapon bloom. Whatever made them think it might have made the game more appealing, is beyond my understanding. You're probably correct in what you said above. No matter what point of view I see it from though, adding bloom made no sense whatsoever. Meh. Nothing we can do now except complain and pray that 343i finds a solution come Halo 4. They should have at least allowed us, the community to be able to toggle bloom on/off from the very start.

If you have to use labels like 'Retarded' to describe anyone who disagrees with you, Then your arguement has lost any weight it might of had, and I personally will assume you are just trying to get a rise out of people.

Also to those who think that having a high KDR means you're beast; just the fact that boosters exist is a prime reason that any thumbless noob can achieve it throwing the 'my high KDR validates my opinion" logic out the window.

Great retort guys. CLEARLY he knows the error of his opinion purely on the basis that your opinion is different. (based entirely upon the derogatory nature of the response.)

You sure showed him.

Copy pasted from something I wrote along time ago.

Bloom is random and brings in a game generated luck factor. Both of which should not be in a FPS, yet alone a competitive FPS like Halo.

Bloom does not add "skill" like so many claim, in fact it actually takes less skill to pace shots with bloom. Knowing when to pace and when to spam is not skill, FYI.

Pacing shots give the user (or opponent) that much more time to readjust their aim if needed. Gives them that much time to line up that sniper shot because their opponent is either waiting for their bloom to reset, their randomness of bloom is causing them to miss and not get that last headshot or makes you "eat" bullets.

There is no reason why a lesser skilled player should be able to spam a perfect 5 and get a kill on a better skilled player. He got the kill because THE GAME gave him the luck needed.

There is no reason why any FPS game should have game generated luck. The ONLY luck that should be in FPS is player generated luck, like someone throwing a random plasma grenade across the map and getting the stick. That is player generated luck. GAME generated luck like bloom should not exist. It completely takes away competitiveness and an individual skill gap because it adds randomness.

Bloom really isn't an issue any more - people from both camps have playlists they can play in, so there really is no point in arguing about it any more...

Ohai, I'm Loscocco (pronounced Loss-cocoa). I'm a college student (computer science major), 3D animator, and long-time Halo player.

You really have no idea what the problem about bloom is...

Go home.

Please...stop getting butthurt when I noscope you from the passenger seat of the vehicle I'm riding in :D

It's not hard to get use to. If you can't control your trigger spamming, then you don't deserve to survive a DMR/NR fight. I have had my times where I died because of bloom, and guess whose fault that was? Mine. Because I spammed the trigger.

I know this thread isn't helping the cancer on this site. But holy -blam!-. Go play the TU playlist.


Counter-post: What about all the times where I paced my shots and get out-killed by the guy turning around and spamming, yet my last shot refuses to hit because of bloom? Oh, and did I mention ME pacing?

Yeah, stupid game mechanic based on luck is the way to go.....Not.

This.

Watch out. If I post in your thread, chances are it'll die. I've been cursed, and if I kill your thread, I'm sorry.

Its only a problem on PRECISION weapons, you know, the weapons where aiming should be PRECISE, not random.

Today is a good day to be a Spartan

opinions vary, everyone has them....but yours, doesn't even make sense or a good argument. as the TU is going to continue to make its way through EVERY playlist, and sooner than you will probably like to see.

Wow I can't believe trolls are still active on this forum. I thought everything moved to waypoint.

And so God called Moses to come forth but he came fifth and was therefore disqualified.
