The fact that the DMR has bloom while none of the other precision weapons do just irks the hell out of me. On top of that, it’s one of the most powerful weapons in the game, and even though the bloom is reduced it still adds a bit of randomness. Is this a problem for anyone else? I know the game is gold but I just want to get your guy’s opinion on it.
The bloom is virtually non-existent.
I think it’s fine, to be honest. You are only going to have to pace at extreme distances, and the other weapons just seem too suck for me to bother.
Bloom depends on Range and Speed, so if you peace your shots right and don’t exceed t’s renge limits, you’ll be fine
The bloom is more just a visual thing instead of being a factor in shooting, as I’ve heard.
…So…you want one of the most powerful…weapons in the game…Not to have Bloom. So it will be easier/less irritating to use…
A power weapon…that is hard…to use.
I think 343 has this one in the bag.

Bloom doesn’t make anything harder. Just more random.

No, before the DMR was revealed I had a feeling that 343 was gonna bring it back. I thought they were going to decrease the RoF dramatically, make it a 4sk, and have x8 zoom, so it’d essentially be a less powerful sniper rifle.
It’s to prevent players with good aim from sitting at the back of the map to pick people off. At least that’s what I think.
The bloom only will really affect you if you try to cross map. Also, doesn’t the carbine kill faster? Or did they nerf it?

Incorrect.
If you time your shots perfectly your bullet will hit the same spot everytime. If you get worked up and lose your cool or start shooting like a maniac you will miss due to random bloom.
Self control is a skill untoitself.
Its not really bloom… its like a timer showing when you can fire the next shot… on account of a lower ROF
I will pick the DMR, Sniper and Carbine over everything.
I think it’s just to make sure it’s not an auto sniper at extreme distances.
at close-mid range bloom will be virtually nonexistent, but at long ranges it keeps it balanced.

It takes longer to kill with the carbine then the dmr but if u get damage boost the carbine will beat the dmr cuz it makes the carbine become a 5 shot kill. Normally it is a 7 shot kill so u could say its nerfed alittle
The bloom is so small there’s no point in even having it.
Frankly they should be increasing bloom as it’s a good feature and isn’t automatically “random” as haters like to claim.
Because it helps keep it balanced with the other weapons. Atleast it doesn’t exceed the outer reticule like Reach’s.
Nothing to worry about in my opinion - the game plays beautifully!

Can I borrow your time machine? You obviously have one since you’ve played hours of the game already and know how random bloom is.
Its to balance it with the other weapons.
