Explain why You Hate Bloom.

I find it a bit more realistic. Bullet spread would happen at a higher rate of fire. EDIT EDIT EDIT EDIT EDIT EDIT EDIT EDIT EDIT EDIT EDIT EDIT Actually I now understand how bloom should have been. What one of yous said down below or something, the mechanics of bloom and how it should have been. Guys, really? This thread is way too serious... Like, stop commenting...

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] DeltaFiveZero The number one reason I like bloom is probably because it looks nice. Thats right, i'm that shallow. I also like it because, competetive or not, it's REALISTIC, and when it comes to my video games, I actually like a healthy dose of realism. [/quote] AA12 shotguns can be fired in full auto with 1 hand and retain more accuracy than the bloody DMR in the hands of a 500 year later futuristic soldier. Your "I like it because it's realistic" argument is void and retarded.

  • I don't. Whoops, broke your thread. Really, the legitimate reason I don't care about whether or not bloom even EXISTS is because i'm just not that hardcore. I came to enjoy the next installment in my favourite game series. The number one reason I like bloom is probably because it looks nice. Thats right, i'm that shallow. I also like it because, competetive or not, it's REALISTIC, and when it comes to my video games, I actually like a healthy dose of realism. The faster your fire your weapon, the less accurate your shots will become. Period. Always. Forever. End of discussion. People familiar with the way the Halo games work under the hood would understand that bloom has ALWAYS been a part of the Halo games. Always. Every single one of them. Reach was just the first game where they decided to include the nice visual effect of your reuticle visually representing the lowered accuracy of your weapon. Now stop raging and enjoy the damn game. If you bought the game and you're not enjoying it, you need to go get a damn refund, because it's a game. It exists solely for your enjoyment, and if there's something you don't like, it's about a year too late to change it.

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Adm Hotpants [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] tsujen [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Bartybum I find it more realistic. Bullet spread would happen at a higher rate of fire.[/quote] The year is 2555 not 2010. The DMR has bullet spread like a gun in the civil war. With the advanced technology they have in 2555 you would think a gun they are using would shoot straight every time and not be so random, right? [/quote] The civil war? Really? Have you ever really realized how atrociously inaccurate and difficult those weapons were to use? You'd be lucky to hit any targets at all at 100 yards even with a full line of men charging at you. The bloom in Reach is not a testament to the inaccuracy of the weapon through it's mechanical shortcomings, but because it's a gun and it's being held by a person. Anyone who's fired a weapon today knows that no matter how skilled you are as a marksman, firing rapid shots causes your accuracy to diminish. Literally, the only to eliminate what "bloom" is in real life is to mount the weapon on a tripod that is bolted to the floor.[/quote] Watch the video of fire an AA12 on full auto with 1 hand with little recoil. That's a gun in 2011. You'd imagine in 2552 they'd be able to make a single shot weapon shoot where you aim.

  • I personally hate bloom and no-bloom. No-bloom makes it so that everybody has an equal chance in killing me by spamming the DMR. Bloom makes it so that it will annoy the crap out of me when I can't land the 5th shot. I prefer the TU one. I'd say its the sweet spot.

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Sentox6 [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Akamia179 I made no such attempt. You misunderstood my post. I should have expected that. I merely stated that rolling dice takes skill (the act of rolling it, it had nothing to do with outcome). I made no attempt to relate it to Bloom. Which sentence did I make such a connection?[/quote] It doesn't matter if you were trying to draw a comparison or not. If you were, it was clearly ridiculous. If you were not, it was a completely irrelevant (and entirely banal) statement with no purpose except to demonstrate some sort of vacuous pedanticism. Either way your input deserves no respect.[/quote] And by this comment, you are no better.

  • Randomness does not belong in Halo. It never did in Halo CE, 2, or 3, and people were put in their place. Reach, however, allows people to get random kills due to bloom.

  • This is by far the dumbest argument I've ever read. Rolling dice takes skill? I suppose that next you'll have me believe rock paper scissors takes skill too.
