Subject: What do you think about 'Bloom' ?

Been playing since halo 3 back when halo was something.

In my opinion I don't like the bloom in halo reach at all! It really can take the fun out of the game to me.

Welcome.
You have just entered my mind. Please sign the contract before continuing further into this black hole to acknowledge I am not at fault if any mental/physical damage is caused to you whilst viewing my history. If any damage to yourself is caused, please call your whaambulance for advice.

I don't really mind if there is bloom or not. As long as I can shoot people I'm happy!

Can't tell if serious or very misinformed.

Still better than you.

.....most of you, at least.

Bloom was a really good idea, but executed horribly in Reach, and did not work like it was intended. If it actually worked so that spamming was punished and pacing was rewarded, then it would be fine. But it doesn't, so it isn't.

  • 02.05.2012 12:17 AM PDT

Unfortunately bloom causes a random spread that leads to situations like (1)someones who's spamming kills someone who's pacing. (2)both people are spamming and nothing but luck/randomness selects the winner of the battle.
The last situation is rather annoying because it happens very often.

The idea of pacing your shots lowers the skill gap. Someone who is able to hit 5 shots faster than you can, generally is able to do so because his aim is better. I don't play mlg cause I really hate running into 4 man parties(that wipe the floor with me) and it's one of the few playlists where i consider myself bad(below the average skill level)

Halo 2 > Halo 3 > Halo 3 ODST > Halo Reach > Halo CE

Based on campaigns.

I not care about it

I can't wait for the day my hustle game don't gotta start this way.
AIM - c.ommview
Skype - Residue

I like 85% bloom and zero bloom.

I refused to play Reach when everything was 100% bloom.
