Update

Does anyone know if bloom is being removed from the upcoming TU? The reason i ask is. I was watching the vid on waypoint of the 2 new maps being shipped with CEA. and the reticle from the walkthrough players rifle showed no sign of bloom at all.

That’s the general consensus at least partially. It may not be removed from all playlists.

your last name isnt walter is it? and yes they are removing bloom, to what degree we dont know.

So its possible the reticle may be made to like its solid, but may have out of sight bloom.

From the Damnation Gameplay, there is no sign of the bullets going outside the reticule.

Bloom at this time, looks to have been removed on the gametype they were playing.

Thanks for the replies guys.

Somehow I can’t imagine 343i completely removing bloom from the DMR. People are used to it and probably wouldn’t want drastic changes to a core mechanic after they’ve been playing the game for a year. So I think it’s going to be a change introduced in the classic/HCEA playlist(s) and maybe a few other select playlists like MLG.

armor lock is kind of like a overshield now it decreases but if you are shooting at somone in armor lock the amount of time you have leftit will go away faster so a rocket launche to armor lock is like a rocket to an over shield

Once again, this is speculation and not proven.
