Well after playing Zero Bloom Slayer, I noticed that the Sniper still has a reticule bloom, I know most of you think it resets before you can even fire again but it is still affects the Sniper if you try to reload and double tab Y to cancel your reload then fire instantly, because the bloom on the Sniper is huge, you will see that the bullet goes somewhere completely stupid.
If you still don’t think Bloom effects it, go try it in Customs using either Zero Bloom Slayer or Vanilla Reach Slayer.
I dont know, but i think it has something to do with the fact that the sniper is super easy to fire and hit anyway.

It’s not that it’s easy to fire with, it’s the fact it’s meant to be Zero Bloom Slayer but Bloom is still in effect and same for the AR, although the AR has always had bloom but it was invisible, the Sniper has never had a sense of bloom implemented into it across all Halo games.
Yes, it is already too easy to use the sniper. 
I mean, i think it should be removed, but It really isnt that big a deal. Not worth another TU over.
But if it can be done with the gametypes, which it should be, then they should.

I believe it can, or at least I hope, I do recall them mentioning that the current game type may be different in October but time will tell.

Bloom does not do anything to the sniper. It’s just there for looks.

sigh Read the first post, go do the tests and you will see it does.

if you press the button over and over and over for 5 mins it does but other than that, it never effects my shots. Ever. You just can’t aim I guess.

You really are not reading are you, I even said that it doesn’t effect the shot when you just fire constantly, if you reload with bullets still in your clip then double tap Y and then fire, the reticule bloom is still extended resulting in inaccurate shots.

Then just fire and reload normally. Really bloom doesn’t affect the sniper if you use it the way you are supposed to.

Your not getting this at all really are you?
The fact its ZERO BLOOM Slayer means it has no place, even if it plays a small part in the Sniper, it’s still there and annoying.
I don’t know, I didn’t like this either. I miss the old sniper
So, what, you want the sniper to have no bloom so you can take sick YY no-scope trickshots? Quit harassing 343 and get over it.
the sniper is unaffected by zero bloom because the RoF on the sniper is too slow for it to be affected by its own bloom. simple enough right?
He wants to pull off button glitches lol. Moa just be glad we have regular halo back and stop complaining please.
dude…the reticle resets faster than the possible RoF of the sniper. There is no reason for people to complain about something as “bloom” on the sniper rifle.
I don’t even know why people would even recognize there to be bloom on the sniper in the first place.
It’s a little known fact that bloom only exists on the sniper to punish people who try to glitch it to fire faster than normal.
I don’t see why taking it out would be a big problem, but I also don’t see why having it in there (zero bloom slayer) is such a big problem. I don’t think it would be too hard for 343 to get that fixed for zero bloom slayer so it’s true to it’s name, wouldn’t make a difference, but would fix that YY combo.
It’s purely cosmetic since it will always fully reset by the time you can fire another round so I suppose 343 saw no need to bother with it.
