Zero Bloom for the win.

So I’m guessing from what I’ve read some of you dont like this idea. Let me be one to say that is the reason…Well that and armor lock…That I hated reach. Everything else is almost perfect. Since when did halo ever have Blooming redicles? It’s so rediculously annoiying! I for the first time actually enjoy playing reach. How many of you feel the same way. We are all entitled to our own opinions here so lets here what you all have to say. Please no disrespecting each other. I’m not saying anyone is dumb or stupid for liking it. I just don’t like it. What do you think.

  1. Go ZB in all game types!
  2. No freaking way!
  3. Lets mix and match! Choose playlist you prefer.

Here is what I think would make an awesome game-type:

50% Bloom.
Bleed through for melee only.
Less bleed through for grenades.
Tougher vehicles.
Decrease the amount of damage the Sniper rifle inflicts on vehicles.
Increase the reload time on the Banshee bomb, and/or reduce the blast radius of the Banshee bomb.

And one more thing:

A custom game option that would allow you to be on red team for example, but still be the color you choose for your player.

Ok I’m sorry I didn’t mean to come accross wrong. Lets just focus on ZB. I know I mentioned something else I hate about the game, " armor lock". But lets try to at least include the main topic at hand please. No disrespect intened and thank you for your opinion. Please select 1,2, or ,3 . Or other but please focus mainly on Zero Bloom. Thanks.

While Halo, prior to Reach, never had blooming reticules, it still had bullet spread. Take a look at Halo CE. With the pistol, if you spammed the trigger, your shots would get less accurate. If you held the trigger down, the bullets would go all over the place.

Bloom is a function of the HUD, a visual representation of bullet spread.

Also, this belongs in the multiplayer forums.

Back on topic: I hate zero bloom as it currently is. It makes the pistol and NR completely over powered, and negates the need for any other weapons. It turns the DMR into the BR, and I hated the BR’s “own all” style. Halo is supposed to be a sandbox game, so either the ZB gametype needs to rebalance the sandbox, or it needs to leave.

1 with a decreased rate of fire. I hope 343 puts a ZB playlist with a lower rof for the DMR, NR, and especially pistol

ZB is not overpowered. Against the AR sure, maybe, but against short range weapons on count down you still get destroyed. COMPLETELY. The pistol is stronger than maybe it should be but I really don’t have a problem with it yet. This is a beta so we can tweak it some more if necessary.

Ya and if you think about it. The pistol in Halo ce was wayyyyyy OP!

How about 3, so everyone’s happy, not just yourself?

i think bloom should stay atleast 50%. cause with bloom ya gotta pace your shot’s if you wanna hit someone across the map wich make’s gettig the kill more worth it in my eye’s. without bloom they’ll just keep pulling the trigger non stop till the person there aiming at drops. keep bloom around but have a zb playlist or zb gametype’s alongside bloom gametype’s.
