And as for armor lock, how about just ignore the guy who uses it? If you just stare at the guy in armor lock you're just asking to get assassinated. | ||

If you just stare at the guy in armor lock you're just asking to get assassinated. Almost certainly no. Recoil was in the beta and they took it out. Bloom was meant to be a skill-based mechanic that rewarded patient fire vs trigger spam, and also possibly a way of differentiating the role of the DMR from that of the pistol (along with other traits such as clip size and max ROF). Didn't work out quite like that, though, as spamming at midrange is way too effective vs timed shots, which is why most in the MLG HR thread have been pleading for an increase in the bloom size and decrease in the reset time. There've been hints here and there (no solid sources, though) that Bungie might patch in some bloom adjustments as part of their usual title update process, whenever that happens. | ||

The lead sandbox designer aka The Guy Who Fucking Made the Foundation of Reach Gameplay, was the lead designer of Shadowrun. So there is a 100% chance that he migrated bloom from shadowrun to halo. It's even more likely because of how well received Shadowrun was by the competitive community and Bungie likes to try to keep halo competitive. Exactly. I think some other folks from FASA also migrated to Bungie as well, btw. | ||

However, I also can't see it at all - the market for casual gaming is too huge. Interestingly enough, many casuals (if bungie.net forums are any indication) also want the bloom improved, or removed completely. It'll be interesting to see if Bungie makes some major changes, though with them, it almost always seems like it's fixing one thing and breaking something else. | ||

Saying that is like an FPS junkie saying Starcraft II is the same old game as Starcraft. It's a shame, I know, but the differences in an engine make two similar FPS's really have their own mechanics (BF1942 > BF2 > BC2). | ||

I think he meant that the two franchises are the same thing each time. BF is always BF, and COD is always COD. That's how I took it. I hope some of you guys are on right now, I'm about to fire this shit up. | ||

I mean, these are the same people who thought Reach was going to be about how the Master Chief went back in time at the end of Halo 3 so he could fight at Reach. They do, though, via a number of feedback threads for betas, playlists, bugs, etc. At least Shishka (former Bungie playlist manager) collected Reach beta feedback from the MLG HR thread separate from the gazillion retardothon threads on bnet. I have to give credit there. And Urk still posts in the MLG forums here and there. | ||

You do know you can armor lock for multiple short periods of time rather than just locking for one right? I charged the guy and he locked. He unlocked and I charged him again and he locked. This was with beatdowns inbetween. It's not like I just stood there, it was a chained sequence of events. Dumb loadout is dumb. Was a gosu move though. [not me] | ||

We're watching Thankskilling first... and I know this is off topic, but people need to know about this movie (available on Netflix)... it's a movie with a $3500 budget (not a typo, that's all the numbers), about a murderous turkey. Google it if you want to know more, but this is going to be incredible, to say the least. | ||
