I'll give Bungie this: (Destiny)

by CyberKN , Oh no, Destiny 2 is bad, Thursday, April 30, 2015, 17:59 (3502 days ago) @ CruelLEGACEY

They learned from the whole Bloom™ fiasco.

So. Much. Rage.

I STILL don't understand the problem with bloom. not to drag it back up again... lol

It made perfect sense to me, it worked perfectly well, and the game was ruined when they removed it. Bloom kept the DMR and needle rifle in check at long range, preventing them from becoming the power weapon that the BR was in Halo 2/3.

The problem with bloom is that it introduced a random element into an equation that previously had none. Thus, Rage.

If the concern was that the weapon was killing too quickly at range, there's already variables that could have been tweaked to account for that. Personally, I would have lowered the RoF.

For Destiny, Bungie did the next best thing: Adding the upwards reticle drift that was present on the Pistol in ODST.
