i can't post on there, so i'll just post mine here:

1. removal of bloom on DMR as a custom game option.
2. eliminate fall damage
3. make it so that jetpack can be enabled by tapping jump twice, so us bumper jumper players can use it.

that's about it for me. i think removing bloom will fix most connection/bullet eating issues, and the other two are just slight improvements that make the game less annoying.

Dude! It's not a valid link... booo ;)

I'm sorry, but bloom is a valid way to increase everything in this game basically. If I went in the mlg play list and got 5 shot every time, because the hit scan is phenomenal in this game, I t would not be fun. The fact that you can spam allows for the skillfull out DMR.

Sorry thats my rant.

But here are my five.
1. Fall damage
2. Add Customization in the weapon damage, in both forge and custom game settings.
3. Edit forge world objects to actually change color.
4. Fix melee system to post patch HALO 2.
5. More then 1 person films.....

[Waterboy7]

1.Remove the Bloom
2.Remove the Bloom
3.Remove the Bloom
4.Remove the Bloom and last
5.Remove the AA

The fact that you can spam does not make it a Halo Game. I had to rant as well ;)

[Brixxx]

If they completely removed the bloom then modded controller nerds would rape us all. Bungie has been good with making modded controllers almost useless on Halo. If they remove bloom then they would have to change the rate of fire. I think a better option would be full weapon customization, from damage to bloom to ROF. Then MLG could really make this game as competitive as possible.

not sure if serious...

bloom adds a luck factor to the game. it lessens the skill gap because some noob with a sick connection online can spam 5 anyone across the map whereas the other person who is highly skilled decides to pace and gets out DMR-d. with no bloom, you would have to keep your reticle centered perfectly on the opponent's head for every shot if you want to win a battle, which is skillful. there's no skill in having crappy aim and spamming and all your shots hit. and it wouldn't be a bad thing to be able to kill people a bit faster in this game with the DMR. it would balance out the sniper and rockets MUCH better, and avoid having those sprint-away-1-shots that everyone complains about.
that's my rant

[Brixxx]

You can spam the body then line up the reticule for the head shot. If it had to be all head shots to get the 5SK then it would be highly skillful IMO. Either way bloom needs to go then R.O.F. needs to be changed or bloom needs to be tweaked heavily where spamming anything past melee distance is extremely inaccurate. Will make it more skillful but also will make longer kill times, unless every one team shoots =p

For all the idiots saying "remove the bloom" there aren't going to and can not do that, all they need to do is make it work online better.
The melee system is fine, it's new and different, the halo community needs to embrace change.

[Gearijigu]

so I know that there has been a lot of begging and pleading and whining and moaning about bloom for the dmr but does it really need to be removed? I find that the argument that people can spam you before you can time shots and kill them to not hold too much water..... sure you'll get the occasional person that get a perfect spam five shot but most of the time at least i can out DMR them before I die.

If they remove bloom from the game I think that it wouldn't make reach reach anymore all that people want is for this game to become halo 2 or halo 3 again. man people gotta quit living in the past. Reach is a new game with new mechanics like it or not. I definitely agree that there ARE things that could be make reach better but all the halos before have had flaws and the community grew to accept them its what makes the games interesting and memorable. whether or not those memories are positive is a different thing.

Any thoughts or comments about bloom in the TU discuss below I am of the opinion that removing bloom might actually ruin the game somewhat I see both pros AND cons let me know what you think

[gwhit518]

Id like yo see an option in custom games to remove the bloom before they implement it fully, this way MLG can run some game types without it and see if it steps up the competition or simply makes the game easier. If they do decide to remove the bloom they have to take out the ability to spam the gun cause then Halo becomes more of a twitch shooter like CoD and that is not the direction Halo needs to move in. CoD covers the twitch shooter category very well and Halo needs to stay an accuracy based skill game than whoever has first shot. However this might speed up the game, not sure what to think of it at the moment. Im hoping for just a custom game option though.

And calling out the community as idiots seems like the right thing to do?

I think that an option in a custom game would also be optimal I dont know that i want to see it in matchmaking yet though

[paxxer]

i think the custon game option for the bloom would be sick
also i dont like the melee system so i hope they can fix that and also make the jetpack more bumper-jumper friendly
thats all i could think of right now

[Letthe]

Dedicated servers & button combos.

FAIL!!! 3 melees to get a kill??? I don't think so buddy. Here is my 5...
1.Dedicated survers so I can play well against foreigns.
2.Ranking system like Halo Wars or Halo 3. (no -10 teammates)
3.Melee System
4.Take off sprint or fix it (too many people chase or run away; does not feel like halo)
5.Forging

The game is amazing on LAN and hopefully online after the update.
I think there should be not much changes for bloom because this game relys so much on connection.

1. Nerf Armour Lock, have overcharged plasma pistol and emp from grenade launcher end it. Once out of armour lock they shouldnt be able to go straight back in. Reduce length to 2secs.
2. Fix melee system to allow bleed through.
3. All loadouts to be sprint or evade, place other armour abilities on the map to stop a full team of armour lockers/jetpackers.
4. Have a ranking system.
5. Fix playlist, i.e, multi team 6 teams of 2, rocket race and elite slayer to have own playlist.
6. Give credits for hill/ball time, flag captures, to try give campers incentive to play those gametypes.
7. Fix maps, or use updated ones, i.e sanctuary instead of asylum. Pinnacle spawns are awful.
8. Do not remove bloom, but fix so spam is less rewarding.
Here's my idea's, i've posted on the link too.

[Brwn]

This is what I posted.

1. Bring in ranking system.

2. Allow for more than one person when watching films.

3. Don't let players who have just gotten out of armor lock be allowed to go back into armor lock immediately.

4. Eliminate the duration it takes when falling from a great height of landing and not being able to move; make it able for players to be able to move right after a drop.

5. Make jet pack a toggle armor ability.

[Smallz08]

1. this is the idea that I have with bloom. If they remove the center reticle and leave just the original reticle but still have the effects of bloom restricted to the initial reticle so basically it would be kinda like the random spread on the BR in H3. Also make a slight cool down system to keep the modded controllers out of halo. I believe this would make this game much better because you can still get punished for spamming since the hidden bloom will fill the entire reticle and the shot could register anywhere in that reticle and at the same time rewarding the guy with the steady shot.

2. More than 1 person in the theater! It is so annoying to have to go to party chat to watch 1 film with 2 or more people.

3. Fall damage is already confirmed.

4. Nerf the nades a little bit.

5. Don't really care as long as they possibly make another map pack with good maps... oh wait Halo anniversary is comming out with a ton of good maps on there without screen lag hopefully. Yay 343!

[Respect_B]

Bring back VIP is his #1? Wow...i can already see how this is going to turn out....

1) Develop a working ranking system for the following playlists: MLG, Slayer, Doubles, Snipes, i guess Swat, & Big Team Battle
2) Theater accessible to more than one person at a time
