Agreed. All the changes are good and add variety. Do we really want another Halo 3? Just running around with one gun and no armor abilities? It's good that 343 wants to try something new. Do we really want the same thing for three more games?

The DMR is ridiculous at the moment with the range it has. It pretty much renders movement on large maps useless, which coincidentally is the only type of map in the game.

The bloom was horrendous. My vote goes to bloom, but the two aren't that far off in how badly they ruin each other's respective games.

Neither, I can still hit people. Don't know what's wrong with you guys.
Ah yes, the classic "This feature is perfect, clearly you just suck at the game."

Try to be a bit more creative.

The feature isn't perfect, but you clearly still suck at the game.

Better?

Nothing
So if there's no difference, how does Bloom make the DMR less powerful at longer range? ;)

From how I see it, Bloom in Reach only served to make close to medium range DMR fights inconsistant and frustrating.
Oh no, I was assuming you meant if the DMR was capped at a slower rate. You had to slow down the DMR's fire rate to hit long range targets on Big Maps. You couldn't full bloom spam across Boneyard, so essentially it was weaker at long ranges.

Halo 4's DMR doesn't seem to require that at all. But if you capped it to a slower rate, it'd match the Reach DMR at long range only.

I was. The hypothetical DMR would have a rate of fire equal to pacing your shots with a DMR with Bloom.

Now I am confused.

Then yeah, at longer ranges a bloom DMR is on par with a non-bloom slow DMR. But mid ranges the bloom DMR is a gamble, where as the capped fire rate would probably lose unless enemy misses a few shots.

BR Slayer 343, come on everyone just uses the same stuff with these loadouts anyway...

None bother me. I am a massive fan of "both" guns in both Halo games

Typical Waypoint post.
no it's "its got to go" you wouldn't say the "it is got to go" would you?

Bloom

No matter how bad the DMR is for Halo 4's gameplay, bloom was infinitely worse.

Reach Bloom. Fighting Covies in that game was so one-sided I had to resort to utility tools 24/7 (Hologram, Plasma Pistol against Elites, Needle Rifle, Needler against Brutes, assassinations).

A real test of a man is if he is willing to scrape a sharpened razor up and down his junk just to please a woman.

At least the Reach TU DMR required some practice to use.

Bloom is acceptable. The Halo 4 DMR is not.

  • 12.16.2012 1:43 PM PDT

Reach bloom is worse. Why? Because I can at least take advantage of the Halo 4 DMR.

Reach Bloom. Fighting Covies in that game was so one-sided I had to resort to utility tools 24/7 (Hologram, Plasma Pistol against Elites, Needle Rifle, Needler against Brutes, assassinations).


Seriously?
I beat the campaign on Legendary Solo.
And I'm really bad at video games.
I did not have any fun fighting the Elites compared to CE and Halo 2.

The Reach Elites were seriously unfair in a myriad of ways, namely that they had melee bleed through, insane amounts of shields without the PP, and NO NEED TO EVER RELOAD.

Halo Reach bloom. The Halo 4 DMR works perfectly fine.

Plasma rifle worked on Heroic but on Legendary, it felt like it did nothing!

Yeah, Elites were annoying in Reach, I won't lie about that
My main gripe is their projectile speed. On Heroic, it's actually possible to dodge their shots by using crouches. For the first time, I was glad I was Noble Six. I had a way to compensate for his inefficient strafe.

But Halo 4 also has bloom just like every Halo ever made.
