The zero bloom sucks! Halo Reach was defined for its new style of game play. it wasn't meant to be halo 3. ITS HALO REACH FOR A REASON DONT GO MAKING IT HALO 3 ALL OVER AGAIN! Halo 3 was a great game but if i wanted to play 3 i would play 3, there are still thousands of people playing 3 today. BUT I want to play HALO REACH, the game where Bungie IMPLEMENTED THE BLOOM FOR A REASON. a GOOD reason, where peoples SKILL LEVELS WERE DEFINED WELL with the way that they could INTERACT WITH THE BLOOM.
Putting no bloom or the HORRIBLE Title Update Ruined Halo Reach for me. I don't find enjoyment in the shield bleed where you can put a bullet in some ones head with 10% shields left or punch a guy dead with less than 50% shields... There is no skill level involved to get a kill now a days its just raw gunfire with spammed shots and unnecessary deaths.
Title update is a nice way for 343 to assert their control over halo and i respect that BUT MAKE A SEPARATE PLAY LIST SUCH AS THE "community" TIER PLAY LIST OR THE "Fire Fight" TIER PLAY LIST, MAKE A SEPARATE LIST FOR THOSE WHO LIKE TU BECAUSE THERE IS A GOOD SHARE OF US WHO ENJOY HALO REACH THE WAY IT USED TO BE.
this is a personal message i would like to relay to 343:
It used to be that when people asked me why i liked Halo over Call of duty or Gears of war, was because i like the fact that Halo had a certain survivability rate. Halo involved skill in planning how to use the 5 shots of the DMR to kill your opponent as quickly and efficiently as possible where you would shoot the guy mad until he had no shields then wait until the bloom was accurate enough to take the finishing blow to the head, even the same with the 7 shots of the needle rifle.
Lately, when people ask me this question... i have no response anymore...
i cant back up my love for Halo with the previous facts that gave me enjoyment fulfilling when i played. there is less strategy involved in dmr/needle rifle battles and there is no survivability with shield bleed through. i used to love how i could use my skill as strongly as possible to win a fight by taking out the enemy's shields before they were able to rush a punch, so that i could finish the opponent with the very least, my shields down.
there is no hope for survival when playing in TU. When you are low on shields you have no way of escaping a death when you try to escape. TU is encouraging camping and is making Halo more like Call of Duty by making it who ever gets the first shot, 90% of the time wins the fight. i cant use my previous skill to quickly turn around and successfully take out a guy shooting at me from behind.
Title Update RUINED ALL SKILL DEFINED GAMEPLAY AND REPLACED IT WITH SPAM AND UNCERTAINTY IF YOU CAN TAKE A BULLET WHEN YOU HAVE LOW SHIELDS.
I personally Request a separate Title Update Play set.
