I’m a huge Halo fan, I have been for 10 years now. I played the hell out of Halo/2/3 and had so much fun doing so. However, Halo Reach just never felt quite right to me, I felt it was the bloom, and for me, I was right.
Halo Reach just didn’t feel like a proper Halo with bloom, only two matches with ZB and I had more fun than I did in the previous 700 or so games of Reach with bloom. I like Reach with bloom, but love it without. The pace is increased back to where Halo 3 was and it’s brilliant.
