I play for fun, not prestige. Pathetic messages about winning and 1 v 1's are not tolerated. Xbox live is not a place about showing how sad at life you are by trying to prove yourself in a game. I'm all about a good time.

Adding bloom to the game totally ruined what made halo...halo.
The Bloom slows down the gameplay (Which is already slowed down by the player speed decrease and the inabilaty to JUMP)
The bloom results in random DMR/Pistol wins.
If somebody can spam the trigger and still kill someone after they patiently timed out all of their headshots then there is something wrong with this game.
The bloom punishes those with skill who can aim faster and better.
I can understand bloom on weapons in mw2 in which fire clips containing 20 bullets or more. The bloom represents the kickback. But for a gun that fires SINGLE rounds like the DMR shouldnt have a bloom on it. A gun which also doesnt do much damage with that SINGLE round.
Halo has never needed bloom for its rifles. Why fix something that isnt broken?
Too bad this is what Bungie wants for longer and more skillful engagements. I personally don't have a problem with it seeing as I still dominate. This is still Halo to me and many others.
Longer =/= skillful. If both people are patiently timing their shots, sure, but 90% of DMR firefights turn into one of the people spamming bullets. Always. I do great in Halo: Reach despite it as well, but I could be doing so much better if it was gone. And spammers would still be doing the same.
Of course longer =/= skillful. That is why I said
longer AND more skillful.
On the DMR bloom spam comment, a good strafe and a well timed last shot will usually defeat spammers. It is impossible to completely omit randomness in any game. Even if bloom was gone, like you said, the spammers will keep spamming much like the spamming BR sweepers in H3 who get lucky at times.
