Re: The reality is......

In Response To: Re: The reality is...... (Captain Spark) : I recall Bungie referring to Bloom as the targeting reticle expanding and : contracting when a weapon is fired! This is the visual aspect, but the difference in mechanics is that with Reach bloom, the spread takes time to reset after each shot, regardless of whether or not you are holding the trigger, whereas in previous Halos the "bloom" would reset the second you let go of the trigger, as illustrated in OP's video. (but would continue to increase if you held down the trigger, the reset is near instant when you let go)
