Sprint, Bloom, SWAT

Games Other Halo
1

Sprint and Bloom are the two best additions to SWAT ever.

Sprint allows you to move faster for a limited duration in exchange for your ability to immediately shoot. Sprinting also gives away your position with the panting noises on the quiet battlefield.

Bloom punishes you for missing shots. When one shot is all it should take, missing your first shot should cost you. It also allows you to feel godly as your enemy’s shots fly all around your head but do not hit because they are firing too fast.

If there is anything good about the additional elements Reach has brought to Halo, Sprint and Bloom in SWAT top the list.

I hated SWAT. I’m glad it was taken out of Slayer.

I think they should place Pro in its own playlist as well. It’s the only game type I will quit if it’s selected.

Sprint tops my list for Second Worst Thing in Reach Collectively, which is the addition of Armour Abilities, whereas bloom is the Worst Thing in Reach.

More auto-aim + bloom =/= Better SWAT experience.

More auto aim? Compared to what? I don’t find that to be the case but then again I play on 9 sensitivity so I probably move through whatever sticky aim there is very fast.

SWAT =/= Reach

I agree. Auto-aim really doesn’t have that much of an effect if you’re playing on a relatively high sensitivity. I play on 7-8 and don’t notice it. If anything, SWAT should be one of the playlists not affected by the TU. I feel it is fine the way it is.

Slayer, on the other hand…
