Halo: Reach is the beginning of a new age for gaming.
It proves that developers can get away with punishing their players instead of fixing their game....and yet the fanboys will still sing praises to them.
-blam!- all of you fanboys!

yes. better armor in the future=bigger bullets, which makes...more recoil, therefore we have more bloom. have you ever shot a shotgun before? or have seen a buckshot fired? that my friend has lots of recoil.
The DMR uses 7.62mm rounds, ammo used in weapons as early as the 1800s. Most, if not all the UNSC weapons uses ammo available to us right now.
You want me to believe that a super solider wearing a powered armor suit can't handle that kind of stuff?
And since you bring up the shotguns, let me show you this one, The AA12 fully automatic shotgun.
Notice how a regular human is able to shoot it with a single hand and not have recoil up into the roof?
Yeah..... I'm supposed to buy that a gun 500 years in the future, wielded by a genetically modified super human will recoil up to the roof each time it's fired?
Yeah..... the "realistic" argument is a dam that holds no water at all.
It's useless.
words out of my mouth
Wrong!
The DMR uses a virtual bullet with virtual statistics.
Please do not try to tell me that the DMR is using the 7.62mm round. Because that simply is not true. Even if they say it is true. It's using math.
Now, even if the math was designed to simulate the weapon using that particular round. Is it completely out of the question that there may have been advances made to that particular type of ammo? Better, more powerful powder for the charge perhaps?
Maybe the round is coated is a uranium alloy that creates extra heat, thus expands the barrel more, thus creating the effect of bloom.
Yeah.... next!
Have any of you ever watched Myth Busters?
Have you ever noticed how close they have to set up their gun turrets to the target to get the bullet to hit on target every time? Pretty damn close. The farther away they set up their "recoil eliminator" the more the bullet is going to get off target, from every other factor. Such as heat, incosistencies in the shape of the bullet itself, wind friction, etc.
Better yet. Have you ever seen top shot? Or how bout any of the Military shows about snipers making mile long shots. How much do you think randomness plays a role for them? They have to try to determine how strong and which way the wind is blowing for the entire length that the bullet is going to travel....
And now look at you....-blam!-ing about bloom. You're pathetic.
Point being. Even if you completely eliminate recoil. There are still many other factors more than willing to make that bullet miss its target.
Don't beleive me. Why then did they give Robocop a fully automatic futuristic Desert Eagle? Because with fully automatic comes quantity. And quantity is a good substitute for quality.
You people just need to accept the fact that...if a spammer has only 25% chance to miss. Do the math of 2 spam bullets hitting anywhere on the target for every 1 quality bullet hitting a vital spot. The quantity is going to beat quality. Especially in a game like Halo who's core value revolves around longer kill times.
Learn to play Halo as an actual team-member who assists his teammates. Instead of just some rambo who can hold is own.... And you'll see. That you're all idiots for complaining about bloom.
