Re: Halo: Combat Evolved and Bloom

In Response To: Halo: Combat Evolved and Bloom (uberfoop) : This has been a debate forever (Video by Spartan117FS) , and nobody seems to : know exactly what the reality is, so I figured I would go ahead and make a : video that actually demonstrates a reasonable sampling of possible cases. : Halo 1 Bloom Test : It's a lot weirder than most people realize. Almost everyone agrees that : tapping the trigger rather than holding it reduces bloom, but most people : don't realise that the sort of tapping matters. I don't know if it's : because the game has difficulty detecting releases if you release only for : brief moments, or if there's some other mechanism involved (like if bloom : increases while trigger is held and decreases while trigger is released), : but the less time you spend with the trigger depressed the better. Tapping : up looks almost as bad as holding the trigger, while tapping down looks : almost as good as firing slowly. : Halo 1 is effectively a zero-bloom game for precision weapons... as long as : you play to its weird nuances. That's interesting, perhaps Halo 1's reset time after letting go of the trigger isn't instant. However it still isn't "bloom" since bloom doesn't have a reset time when you let go of the trigger.
