That is the accurate representation of bloom, when you hold down the trigger it spreads to the left because the spartan III is not as strong as Chief. He is holding the weapon with his right hand, he can't hold the weapon straight because he is weak thus the gun and bullets move to the left. Seriously you guys need to learn about canon.Barrow Roll said:

the video wasn't showing bloom, it was showing the AR hitting someone the person wasn't even aiming at.

Since it doesn't bloom, they could do with tightening the reticule on the AR, that's obvious. The video shows it red. I'm not surprised that it's getting hits but the size of the reticule is what makes it cheap.
Pulsing seems to definitely have it's benefits also. I was skeptical of how much but it seems to help a great deal. You know what would help balance the AR? Adding some bloom.

You need to brush up on your Halo lore this is all part of the canon. You see Spartan III's are cheaper than Spartan II's hence the United Nations Space Command used cheap materials like steel and iron to make them. AR bullets are magnetic so Spartan II armour repels them, this lessens the chance of friendly fire and the use of human weapons by the convenant. The problem of bloom only came to the attention of the masses in Reach because Spartan III's were used and the issue of magnetism and bloom was exasperated.MrBig said:
My understanding is, the targeting reticule turns red if any part of it is over an enemy, and when that is the case all rounds fired will connect, even when it's just the edge that overlaps. I've thought that was always the way one element of the aim assist worked in Halo (magnetism is what I call it when the reticule pulls toward or sticks to an enemy), though I haven't run or seen experiments like the video with other Halo games or weapons. So I wasn't too surprised or angry at the video.thezerofire said:
My first thought upon seeing the video was, see, pulsing the AR does work at range.
Yup, no argument there. It's also a pretty big targeting reticule.thezerofire said:
Edit: should be clear I'm not fan of what's shown in the video, just that I thought that's how it always was.
I was always surprised Glacier didn't feature Banshees as in the campaign. The same set up would work great in Firefight.Hypertrooper said:

ok, so the problem is then that the reticule turns red even when not on a personGhaleonEB said:My understanding is, the targeting reticule turns red if any part of it is over an enemy, and when that is the case all rounds fired will connect, even when it's just the edge that overlaps.

Look closer. It's on his shoulder. BTW, the reticule includes the outer circular portion as well as the center cross hair. Case in point; the AR's reticule size is what makes it cheap feeling. It's so big that it's easy to hit targets even with imprecise aim.thezerofire said:

Hey You said:
I'll look again yea me and Sai-Kun and VHFive played about 7 or 8 one night. I looked when I got on with noone in my party but it wasn't there.
About to start my attempt at no deaths Legendary run.
My goal is to hit 100$ before the stream ends. This could either go well or end in hilarity.

I can't play the BTB All-stars too. But I played 5 Invasion games! Even 6!

Edit.: I can see the playlist now, it just takes some time to show up.
I don't want to play the All Star playlist alone :/

I played two games of All Star BTB. Flag Hemorrhage and Slayer Boneyard. I don't have any plans to enter the playlist again.
Also, why is this game literally Zealot, Countdown, and Forge World?!

wait, what's the criterion for being able to play BTB all stars?
So I've been in DC this past week and I brought my Bungie Aerospace shirt. Today I went to the White House, and one of the security guards told me I had an awesome shirt. He then asked if they had revealed it yet, and that was the moment I knew he was in the loop. Anything from Bungie on when it will be?(I'm assuming the 7th)

So what happens if you die?FyreWulff said:
Account Attempt #4 said:
Well, freaking wraiths.. just got killed by one across Oni Sword Base. Which has never happened before.
The reason I'm attempting it is because there's a bounty out for completing Legendary single-segment with no deaths in < 3 hours.. if I won the bounty during today's attempt, I was going to donate it.
If I die, either the run just continues (minus earning the bounty) or I'll restart it.. which I'm pondering right now.
edit: I've decided to restart to the beginning of the campaign this one time. If I die in this attempt though, the run will just continue
