For the ignorant blam-ers who hate Reach’s bloom, let me tell you something.
Bloom ALWAYS existed in Halo. Sience Halo CE even. The fact that they added an ability to see it and control it in Reach, to add more skill to it than randomness, suddenly got people hating on it. Calling Reach the downfall of Halo while praising Halo 3, which was pretty broken itself. Even more so than reach in my opinion.
I wasn’t aware this was the Reach forum.

Do I sense a meme coming on? I think I do!
Oh god. Here we go.
Hey, OP. I’d suggest posting something like this in the Reach forums, where it belongs.
Reach and CE bloom were very different, by the way.
lol. bloom actually only existed in halo ce if you held the trigger down when using the pistol. since no one did that, it was never a problem. but yes, bloom has always been on the AR, but it actually works with the AR, and any automatic weapon. the BR in halo 3 had no bloom at all, just bullet spread, something completely different.
bloom in reach didn’t punish dmr spammers 100% of the time from medium to long range, which was it’s sole purpose. instead it sometimes let the spammer get lucky and win due to the ridiculous bullet magnetism. don’t even try and say bloom was well implemented in reach, you’re wrong. on top of not being consistent, it was generally not very fun anyway, but that’s opinion.
Halo Reach bloom was broken and not needed. Bloom sucks when its not implemented correctly and it will be easier to leave it out.
Bloom is awful. Absolutely AWFUL. Even if it was in CE, my bullets happened to go where I shot them in that game.
Whatever Reach did, it needs to never happen again. EVER.

I wish people would try to learn before they just go shouting.

Hold down the trigger.

This has already been addressed.
Please read posts above mine.
I don’t care if bloom was in CE or not. All I know is Reach’s hitscan/bloom is better than Halo 3’s projectile/spread. That being said bloom needs to be better in Halo 4 and it looks like it is, but I haven’t played it yet so I don’t know for sure.

read my post.
CE had bloom on the pistol… Besides that has there been a single weapon that had bloom? before reach ofcourse.
ROF had no effect on the BR’s spread.

Some auto weapons, but those actually work better w/ bloom b/c they enforce the rule of “short, controlled bursts”. Precision weapons do not unless it is implemented correctly like CE’s instead of poorly like Reach’s.
Other than the CE pistol, no other precision weapon had bloom until Reach, but even CE’s bloom didn’t take effect unless you held down the trigger or spammed the trigger as fast as you possibly could. Also, CE’s bloom didn’t have the bullets spread as far as Reach’s weapons, and b/c the pistol was 3sk it meant that you could usually get someone’s shields down w/o missing shot even if you spammed/held the trigger.
CE bloom is like typing with a keyboard at your own preferred rate. Full control. You could fire semi-auto then full auto or full auto then semi-auto. All in an instant. If you miss a shot, you still have plenty of ammo to get that headshot.
Reach bloom is like typing on a rubber keyboard. It’s impeded and you have to type slowly to avoid spelling errors. Against Jackals, it’s excruciating because you barely have enough time to get another headshot if you miss. When trying to get multi-kill medals, it’s pretty annoying having to crouch just to make the DMR more accurate.
Right now I’m typing on a standard keyboard, this message only took 1-2 minute to type. But if I was typing on a rubber keyboard, it’d take me 3-4 minutes to post this.
Get the picture?
