The once and for all CEA bloom thread

Ok I want the community’s input I suppose. And I figured with some threads popping up not entirely focusing on bloom, I would try to keep it all in one place.

But I just want to know, what in Gods name was the point on the TU Beta playlist and all the cries of weighing no bloom more than the others, if they aren’t using no bloom in an ANNIVERSARY playlist. It really makes 0 sense to me. The pistol feels nothing like the H1 pistol (reticle is too big, ROF is way off, then jump height and such are an issue, which is for another thread). I just don’t understand. I really thought that this was going to be the “Save Reach” update, when it really didn’t change much other than removal of armor abilities. 343i is great with listening to their fans (which was the reason they got rid of bloom in the first place and got us all really happy), but they listened to the community, all to spit back in the faces of us and keep bloom. I just don’t understand.

And to add, the CE campaign plays GREAT. Love the way that is going. I would have loved to see the re-image of CE get incorporated into matchmaking/the Anniversary playlists, but thats asking for a lot, I know. Its just great to play CE again with it looking fabulous, but then expecting the same experience when playing the Anniversary playlists, and it to just be not a great experience.

They did what they could in the time they were allowed. Reach is unsavable, but at least Anniversary makes it somewhat tolerable.

It’s full steam ahead for Halo 4. No looking back.

I’d love to see 200+% bloom from jumps…hate those jumping bunnies.

Did what they can? They could have gone with ZB seeing as the majority of the community wants that, but no they kept bloom. Why? I don’t want to hear because ZB makes kill times too fast, if thats the case, then they should have included the actual Halo CE pistol that they teased us with a few months ago when they first announced what they were doing.

Zero bloom pistol with a slower ROF and the community is happy. Not that hard.
