Just a simple curious question.

Basically, were YOU, not your opponents, able to utilize the system effectively and get decent kills before they made precision shooting more overall easier?
No making up excuses. This isn't the place to argue randomness, firing rate, skill or whatever.
If you found it harder to kill under the new system, that's all really, nothing bad about that.

I for one got kills just fine, and beat most quite easily when it mattered.

What about you?

I kill just fine on all settings.


I simply prefer a setting where my bullets go where I aim and where the better shooter is rewarded.

I'm able to use both the normal bloom and the TU bloom to get kills just fine, but I prefer the normal bloom since I don't really play the TU gametypes/playlists.

This, very much so.

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

Based on campaigns.

Admittedly i get more kills with bloom because with no bloom everyone else kills me lol

Yes, but it's still retarded so I don't play it.

I'm fine with both settings/systems. But I still don't like bloom.

To me bloom wouldn't be so bad if it caused the reticule to move around screen. With that at least I can still control, and see where my shots are landing at.

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

You see, without/with little bloom, you need to be good at aiming and strafing rather than hoping the game cripples your enemy and not you.

Play Hard, Play Nice

Inheritor# ... ah hell, no one cares anymore lol

For me, Bloom didn't bother me; I never spam my shots. The most consecutive shots that I ever did was twice.

Now with TU/Zero Bloom, it's a heck of a lot easier to get kills but it's a spamfest in those games. Just like the Anniversary playlist, no need to grab Power Weapons if you have an AR like DMR/Pistol.

Yes, because in Reach you shot to the enemy, and bullets sometimes does not do any damage or they simply go everywhere else but the enemy.

Real account.

If you assign every letter of the alphabet a number, a is 1, b is 2, etc., and you take all of the values of the word "MATH", and add them, you get 42. So math is the meaning of life, the universe, and everything.

It wasn't that bad, I must say.

Tin shacks and catfish bones.

Yes, I could kill fine. I don't have ADD/ADHD.

  • 04.20.2012 11:27 AM PDT

I'm bad at both. A little Default luck doesn't hurt in my case.

Everyone is entitled to their own wrong opinion.


I'm part of the Bungie.net Minecraft group/server called SeptaCrafters
We're a Bungie.net group that goes to our very own Bungie server. Most players are from the Halo community either off Bungie itself or through word to Halo friends.

Yeah, why wouldn't I? Its a whole new game compared to Halo 3 you can't actually expect it to run the same.

I did fine in both. If not a bit better with less bloom.

I do fine either way.

It was SO easy, why did they change it?! All you have to do is CROUCH! One click(or hold down) of a button! I swear, if video games(lazy) have to change to make the game even easier(lazier) then that is just sad.

But I haven't been on Halo for a while because my Live broke. So what can I say?

  • 04.20.2012 4:27 PM PDT

Hanger one I just shredded with the SMGs until ammo was out and I just threw 'nades like a boss while BRing.

My experience playing Cairo Station on Legendary

I like to think that I wasn't too bad with the Semi-Automatic weapons with Vanilla bloom. However, this isn't to say I am in favor of bloom at all.

I understand nothing because my life is a conspiracy.

I prefer bloom. It prevents people from trigger spamming and balances out precision rifles with automatic rifles.
