I've put it the time, and i'm good. The game still has huge flaws, the DMR is still just as irritating.

bloom is stupid on halo

Actually you can. When Halo 2 first came out it was god-awful. After a few tweaks they were able to make a semi-OK game.

I'm not sure which "tweaks" you could possibly be referring to, lol.

It's honestly been too long to recall all of them, but I just remember the game being absolute shit when it came out.

That was because of a title update, not a few "tweaks" that MLG made.

Na. The first patch improved grenade damage, melee damage (which allowed for BXRs and 2-melee kills), took away SMG start on a lot of gametypes (matchmaking is all that everyone played at the beginning of Halo 2, so it applied), and other crap. Just too lazy/too indifferent to actually look it up.

Oh, and I was referring to a Bungie update, not a MLG update. I didn't read past the first sentence of your post to see that you were alluding to MLG doing something about it.

I clearly wasn't referring to updates from Bungie >.< It's obviously up to Bungie to improve Reach, though I doubt this update is going to be Reach's saving grace like Shmazoo seems to think it will be.

im sure bungie is proud of reach

The sad part is they actually are. They honestly think their game is amazing. They go about fixing their problems with the stupidest of methods. Ex: No shield bleed through was implemented to fix AR+Beatdown kills. No please bungie, don't nerf the Melee damage, or the AR spray, or the AR damage, just fuck up the way the entire rest of the game plays please.
