After having to deal with the DMR no one will ever convince me that a “precision” weapon with bloom is good in Halo. Same reason why the sidekick is a crapshoot. Bloom on single shot weapons is never going to be a good idea.
If i have the choice ti take the commando or the BR, i would always choose the BR. There is no situation where the commando has an advantage compared to the BR.
The AR is better at being more well rounded and it’s a starting weapon. The BR is way better, the commando is a great finisher, when you barrel stuff it in a persons face with no shields.
In my opinion the AR should do that not a non starting weapon.
Rumor is an option to turn off bloom may be coming in a future update. If true this could bring life to the Commando.
That’s one of my gripes too. Especially when it takes about 8 shots to kill, and the gun is notorious for not being easy to get a perfect with. I think they should add an extra magazine to make it: 20 in the gun, 60 in the pocket.

I think that’s the idea. A middle man gun that gives you the range of a BR but only has the strength of a sidekick. This is what it feels like.
Highly unlikely. If they actually added bloom options to custom games then everyone in the hcs would instantly make the switch to playing custom games with classic settings instead of playing matchmaking, which could turn into players boycotting the official settings in favor of the classic settings that feel more like Halo.
I think you’ll be surprised. No official timeline on this rumor but just remember I mentioned it. 
PS: I wasn’t talking about custom games. Just the game overall. We’ll see what happens.
