The Highs and Lows (Gaming)

Fond memories but I'd say I had more fun playing Reach. And that's despite bloom, which may have been the single worst element intentionally introduced into any Halo game from any studio.

Are we talking reticle bloom in Reach, or light bloom in 5?

The former. Bullet spread was of course present in automatic weapons since Halo 1, but in Reach a huge amount of it was baked into the bread-and-butter semi-auto precision weapon of the game. Unforgivable.

343 reduced it in later patches, but the rest of the sandbox and maps weren't rebalanced to account for the change. Just a mess.
