Haven’t you seen the half dozen or so videos posted in this thread that demonstrate the randomness, the crap shoot, the coin toss, the luck game of your precious bloom DMR?

And I will predict your responses, “those don’t demonstrate what you are talking about” and “Where’s your proof?”

My service record is available, just ask Monarch. I have nothing to hide.

And it contains multiple video files of me effectively (and ineffectively) using the DMR.

You’ve asked me to prove something, and one post later (even though it’s terribly off-topic…) I did it. Why can’t you do the same?

You have not been abusive. A bit obtuse, but NOT abusive, and I too hope you are not banned this time.

A quick glance at your service record shows that you do not play playlists such as Team Arena or MLG, which feature DMR starts. You most likely don’t encounter spammers, for you stick to playlists such as Team Slayer, Team Objective, and Big Team Battle. Those three playlists feature the majority of your time in matchmaking.

There is no effective way to use the DMR, it is a random, crap shoot.

You’re asking for a business to spend a monumental amount of resources “fixing” something that:

A.) They know isn’t broke.
B.) Most of the community knows isn’t broke.
C.) Even if they “fixed” they know that wouldn’t stop the haters.

50 people with the same kind of irrational hate for that man as you guys have for bloom is not enough to convince me to make a change to the mechanic, OR convict a man of murder.

That doesn’t prove that’s you. That’s could be someone else’s account. And the spelling is different than here.

How dow we know that’s you. Prove it.

“Those three playlists” feature a good amount of games with DMR starts. What’s your point? The mechanic works the same regardless of playlist.

To his credit the guy does have a positive KD with the DMR. But the service record is moot (as are all of our service records) because that’s just individual performance with a broken game mechanic.

But he still hasn’t given any evidence that is him.

See how this works. Choosing to not believe things is fun.

True, but that’s impossible since Gamer Tags aren’t linked here yet. At least mine is kind of obvious because my Gamer Tag is my screen name here lol

Okay… first, you’re startin to get creepy.

Second, shoot me a message in game whenever you want, I’ll confirm who I am there. Or don’t message me, and I’ll take this for what it is, a terribad example if the kind of logic bloom haters use.

The ball’s in your court on that one.

How can I know its you. What if its your sister’s account and you just represent yourself as the player.

In fact, you have NEVER played Reach and can’t prove to me you have.

Now, prove you have.

Is this sinking in yet? Any lightbulbs turning on yet?

I hate to say it but the ball is and has been in your court this whole time. Let’s forget about our service records, they are irrelevant. I don’t need to know who you are to disagree with you. You are generalizing again which is half your problem. You aren’t thinking critically or relating statistics to facts. You generalize everyone here just like you do the DMR itself. You “generalize” that “generally” someone getting a lucky kill will never happen. But if it is mathematically possible than one MUST conclude that it can and eventually WILL happen. If you are so certain that it doesn’t anyways why are you so against it? How hard can it be to go into the weapon file for the DMR and find the variable that activates bloom and deactivate it and then push that update out with everything else in a Title Update that they are already working on?

You know, I’m going to take half the responsibility for taking this thread HORRIBLY off topic.

Which is about 30% more responsibility than I deserve.

My point remains. There’s no proof that shows us a lesser skilled player has ever won because of bloom.
