It has been confirmed that bloom will be on the DMR and the pistol. Could be on more. If 343 decides to change it or remove it before releasing the game, I dunno. But let’s speak out on our opinion.
Vote.
Nay as it is in reach Yay as it is in halo 4 Everyone who has played seem to like the DMR and had no Issue with “bloom” so yeah
Bloom HAS NOT been confirmed for the DMR. It’s a visual bloom, like the Sniper in Reach, where it won’t affect your shots.
Bloom on a Magnum is natural thing, makes sense when shooting fast at long range targets.
I say Yay, since the bloom mechanic isn’t bad per se, only poorly implemented in Reach. I do believe that skilled devs like 343i can get such a simple feature right, and if they d it will be a nice addition.
btw: Reach bloom? Nay 
Absolutely not. Halo 4 needs to be designed to have no bloom at all. It was fine in Halo 2 and 3, so why add bloom in Halo 4? I don’t want the stupid randomness of bloom. Just give the DMR a capped rate of fire and slightly shorten the range and there you go.

Agreed, as long as it stays on the right weapons .
BR vs DMR w/o bloom would be -Yoinking!- ridiculously unfair for the one using BR.

The DMR is made for range,
DMR = long
BR = Mid
AR = short
I believe it needs something like bloom, or slower RoF to even it out.
I choose the Meh option as in “Meh, it really doesn’t matter to me.”
they confirmed no bloom
> they confirmed no bloom
What’s it like under your rock?
I prefer no bloom.

Yes, keep bloom the way Bungie shipped Reach…I personally want it on the BR. Go ahead, freak out. But when we meet up in-game, ill be the one tea-bagging your dead body.
EVERY weapon should have bloom!
Bloom works on high-RoF automatic weapons. It doesn’t work on precision weapons. I’d like this to be considered upon implementation.
/statistics
Yay
The DMR would be overpowered with no bloom. The BR has a spread in the reticule but no bloom.
Plus we don’t even know if it’s visual bloom or not. But I would like to see bloom on thwe DMR just less of it 
> EVERY weapon should have bloom!
Shotgun would be as innacurate as Halo 3’s marines.
Rocket launcher… don’t even get me started.
But do you mean standard-issue weapons like the AR?

Actually, some people have made some complaints about the spread of the shotgun. It can also encourage better aiming while using it as the next shot can miss more. If the spread is affected by something like sprint or jump then it will help nerf people who camp around corners with it and running.
The Rocket Launcher is mostly used with its splash damage, I doubt bloom will have much affect on how people use it.
I don’t really care either way, but I voted yes. I’ve been learning how to deal with bloom in Reach, so I feel like I can get used to bloom in Halo 4.
I think it’s probably alright on the DMR, but the pistol sounded absolutely horrible. 6 shot kill AND bloom? No thanks, that’s way to weak.
What the pistol should have been, 6 shot kill, no bloom, 12 shot clip. That would have been alright.
Also BR should be a 4 shot.

I never realized that; thanks!
