There's a poll on Bungie.net right now asking them to allow a no-bloom option for custom games. Even if you like the Bloom, i urge you to vote because this would only affect custom games anyway.

So those of you that do have a bungie.net account, please go here and vote.

MLGpro also has a thread up about this topic where someone has modded their xbox to give you an example of both Reach without bloom, and Reach with a shield bleed through system

No bloom: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c2DVe7bYi%5F8

Bump, for anyone that hasn't seen this yet, please vote. Even if bungie doesn't patch this, I want them to know their community hates them

I don't hate them, I love them.

But I get angered by bloom.

Most of the time when I get angry at bloom I just look at the replay and I shot like .1 mm over his shoulder or something anyway

Did you know that it takes 4 shots to pop your opponents shield and 1 shot to the face to kill your opponent?
That's right, 4 shots to pop your opponent shield.
You don't get it yet?
4 shots anywhere, the leg, the body, the finger tips, anywhere.

Sounds stupid that a DMR does the same amount of damage anywhere on the opponent, but when it comes to your opponents health, it's most effective at the head. In theory, the DMR does less damage to any parts of the body versus the head, but apparently when it comes to popping its shield, I am incorrect.

I guess I shouldn't be bitching about random kids spraying for a hit when they get juked by a mini-strafe, but what am I to say, I'm just watching Heroes.

Oh, I agree you should need the 5 headshots instead of 4 in X and 1 in head, especially because I always (and anyone else experienced) will aim for the head naturally in Halo, but with the Br it was the same thing - as long as the bullets connected on the first 3 bursts you only needed the last one on the head.

If I love bloom, should I vote to show I don't hate them?

Gay.

Whats wrong with gays? Hater.

Are you serious?
This show is so freaking epic that I stayed up all night watching this. I'm near the end of season 2. Man I almost cried when Hiro's dad gave respect and had their little flashback moments and when Hayden cried.
I was like n0n000o0o0o0o0o0o0o0

E: Did you know the black guy dies and doesn't get revived? Inb4hirodaddiedandhedidntgetrevivedbecauseheliveinjapanandnotamerica.
They didn't want Daniel Hawkins anymore.

Adapt or GTFO.

Seriously how do you vaginas ever get used to playing any new game? LoL.

Im sure Halo at some point was new to you. You were probably 6 or 7 but it was still new. Did you cry about it then? Yea you probably did. But you still played it. Then you got used to it. And then you liked it.
