Why does Reach have Bloom?

[u]Bloom[/u] [b]Attempts to:[/b] -Force players to shoot at a certain 'cadence' that corresponds directly to their range. More commonly known as "pacing." [b]Succeeds:[/b] -Sometimes; inconsistently [u]Recoil[/u] [b]Attempts to:[/b] -Force players to shoot at a certain 'cadence' that corresponds directly to their range. More commonly known as "pacing." [b]Succeeds:[/b] -[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.

At close range you just fire as fast as possible and will still land your shots.[/quote]That can't possibly be his point. This thread is about why the concept of Bloom was put into Halo: Reach, regardless of how well it fulfilled that purpose. So he's saying that reticule Bloom is there specifically so the DMR can dominate close range. That is stupid. :/
