I still call it speculation, it may just be a pure coinsidence he came out of Armour Lock when he grenade went off, suppose I can wait until HaloFest.

I went :slight_smile: when I saw that. I wouldn’t call it speculation ether. The person was hit by a gernade while in armor lock and his AA gauge went down significantly which shows that it has been nerfed to some degree.

So I just watched the Damnation gameplay video and saw that Bloom was taken off of the DMR.
My prediction is that all of the people who have been defending the Bloom will be the ones complaining when the TU hits that people can “spam” kills. Well here’s the truth: now there is nothing stopping the better players from smoking you based on their ability to aim and their ability to aim alone. No more luck, no more excuses, “Two men enter, the better man leaves. The lesser man is respawning, and that’s Halo.”

Welcome back Halo.

343 saved Halo.

> 343 saved Reach.

Fixed that quote.

hmmm now that you mention it it is hard to tell. Its just the nade explosion and the energy is so so close together but then so is him gettin gout of AL… hmmmm

Good fix. haha

I’ve noticed that, when the grenade went off the AL meter dropped a bit. Could this mean that when you shoot the player in AL it won’t last longer?

Does it explain how his AA gauge went down though? I would say no.

Halo was gone? Geez, then what was I playing these past ten months?

Seriously though, nobody is going to be forced to play the new TU features. For the first time, there will be a section of a game for people who don’t like that game. The people who didn’t like Reach’s features (Bloom, AAs) will have a little corner of Reach to themselves. However, nothing outside the direct realm of Halo anniversary is going to be changed with the TU. That’s excluding Custom Games, but nobody seems to pay mind to that.

Reach may well turn out to be the best halo to date, more TU news is needed, but for once with Reach i’m optimistic.

Oh and did you see that sick PR bleed through melee. Epic!

Hello All.
Sorry if this thread has been made before but would someone mind telling me what the TU for Reach contains?

You were playing Reach.

343 is now making it possible to play Halo.

I can’t wait to play with a DMR without bloom. I’ll get to play matches where both me and my opponent can spam without luck factoring into the fight. :smiley:

Nothing has been confirmed, but if this is done for all playlists it presents its own set of problems, for example more cross map shooting, and the fact that the DMR will be even more powerful than the NR than it already is, unless the Nr becomes bloomless too, then everyting will be gravy.

A new set of “Classic Style” playlists, which omit many of Reach’s revolutionary new features. This is what you can expect changed in the update. Keep in mind that everything here is also a custom game option.

-Fall Damage is Removed

-Bloom is Removed

-Punching Works Like Halo 3 (Bleed-Though)

-Armor Abilities omitted

removal of bloom proven only on DMR thus far

possible AL nerf so nade eat at power gauge

and bleed through melee

Exactly. This is exactly whats going to happen. Think about 5 shotting someone on Hemmorage. This is gonna get dirty fast.

I think CE style gameplay will make a return: the quick and the dead.
