I know they’re making a return appearance.
My question is, will evade and drop shield still be in the game?
I know Armor Lock won’t be. (good riddance!) And I know Sprint is built in, Hologram, Jetpack, and Active Camo are all returning.
Oh and thank god for Bloom on the DMR and Magnum! (Hopefully Carbine too!)
Drop Shield and Evade are both awful gameplay-wise. Lets hope they don’t make a return.

I hope drop shield makes a return. [campaign/spartan ops exclusive] I thought the drop shield was useful for fighting against the covies but in mp just slowed combat. Evade did nothing.

Except instantly launch you 30 feet away from combat at the push of a button. Slowed down gameplay a considerable amount more than sprint did, which is saying something.
When was bloom announced? Bloom on any weapons at all is a terrible thing. 
> When was bloom announced? Bloom on any weapons at all is a terrible thing.
It only works on automatic Weapons.

I liked these, They’re Halo, especially drop shield. So yes, they need to return.

What? That’s the opposite of what the OP said, and its worse.

No, apparently bloom is on the DMR and pistol, and the BR is a 5-sk.

In terms of gameplay, Bloom is broken.
They said bubble shield was not returning in any form. No dropshield

The difference between the Reach bloom and 4 bloom is that the 4 bloom is not as randomly shooted as Reach and the DMR is just as dangerous as the Br without the bloom.

Nope, bloom in Reach was broken but what’s broken can be fixed. I have no doubt 343i manages t fix bloom, after all it’s hardly a new feature to FPS games and I’ve never had any issues with it prior to Reach.
OnT:
I think dropshield was killed off during dev, and I’ve not heard anything about evade. Since MP lacks elites I guess it’s gone, with sprint as default adding evade would be silly imo ^^
I remember when drop shield was going to be a Fire fight only AA…what happen there. Same with evade was going to be an elite AA while Sprint was going to be a Spartans. I like Drop shield alot but it doesn’t bother me that its not coming back to halo 4. evade in the other hand, I’m glad its not. that was the next AA I did not like after Armor lock.
