Why does Reach have Bloom?
[u]Bloom[/u]

-Force players to shoot at a certain 'cadence' that corresponds directly to their range. More commonly known as "pacing."

-Sometimes; inconsistently
[u]Recoil[/u]

-[u][i]Always[/i][/u]; it is impossible to exploit recoil.
Any ideas as to why the atrocity was put into Reach as opposed to consistent recoil? Don't get me wrong, I'm all for letting individual skill flourish as much as it possibly can, but if you're going to limit the player, do it right.

It keeps trigger spammers from appearing to have more skill than they do. The only people upset with bloom are the ones who panic. The only people asking for bloom to be removed from Reach are panic patrol and people who JUST got beat down, decided to get on the forum and then made a thread to complain about it instead of spending that time learning how to PACE your shots. ZB will be just like the BR. Panicy little noobs will use it to nullify all weapons in the game and go "SHOOT SHOOT OH SHOOT OH OH OH SHOOT!!!" as soon as they see an enemy. They will then get lucky roughly half the time and it will make them feel better about their meager Halo skills. They come on to these forums and complain about bloom using terminology they don't understand, nomenclature that heard in a Youtube video and ill-conceived ideas they heard from other people who panic when the get into a firefight. It's the same kids (yes kids) who RAILED against Armor Lock because they had not the wit to counteract it. They got owned by someone with patience, got upset, and came to the forums to RAIL against Armor Lock. Bloom is the same. The people hating on it are children who can't learn to calm themselves (at least some of the time) in order to pace their shots. They are also the same little person who yells into the mic. Halo is what it is. The player base is what it is. The loud, immature children will always make the most noise and get the most results post launch.
