I know, its stupid, its slows down the game.
But it did prevent spamming acros the map.
So I think it could be used when scoped.
Look at the DMR, in reach it was slow in cqc and it was more luck based than in H4.
But long range combat is more precise because timing shots was important.
The bloom was just useless in H4 because spamming is still possible in long range.
So depending on the zoom magnifier (2x,3x,4x)will be the amount of bloom.
So the DMR has more bloom than a BR or carbine.
But all non-automatics have zero bloom to keep CQC skillful and non-luck based and at long rang patience and timing will guarantee a kill.
But this is only if 343 drop more aim assist and magnetisme. (it is insane in H4)
I think I prefer De-scope as a solution to cross-mapping better than bloom.
De-scope ensures that you’ll only get a long range kill if you get the jump on someone, but bloom just makes it impossible to effective kill someone without having to get closer - which defeats the purpose of long-range-weapons.
No
There are literally hundreds of other ways to limit the range of a weapon.
The first and most obvious would be…don’t give any spawn weapon a 3x scope lol.
Damage reduction over certain range. Limited or no aim assist at certain ranges. Hell, just make the bullet disappear at a certain range lol. All better than bloom.
Or… We could just remove the DMR and LR from our loadout primary selection. Placing them on-map would help alleviate the problem of everyone cross-mapping and discouraging map movement. I don’t think it was a bright idea to allow players to spawn with primarily long-ranged weapons in the first place.
