Can we take bloom out of the game?

[Jayhawk]

Who wakes up in the morning and says
"Ah yes I can't wait for my bullets to not go where I am aiming and the 1v1 I'm having is based on who gets better bloom!"
Like what is the point of bloom. Just lowers the skill ceiling on the game and makes half the fights RNG in this game.
The one thing I remember everyone complaining about in Halo Reach was
1) Armor Lock
2) Bloom on Weapons


EDIT
I am talking about CLOSE RANGE FIGHTS WITH PISTOLS AND COMMANDOS
The meta of this game is turning into... Crouch spamming... Shooting your pistol as fast as you can.
You can't "Time" shots close range because spamming will win %75 of the time.
So the game turns into a dice roll on who's bloom (Random bullet spread) hits the other person head.

I mean it's in the game. I have lost many gunfights when we are both spamming pistols and I am on his head and my bullets are going around him

You can't really pace your shots cause ppl just spam pistol and will win everytime even with body shots

I have had zero problems with bloom cause I use the weapons within their effective range and timing

The pistol isn't suppose to be used within 5-10 meters...
Or the Commando?
Or the AR. The bloom is in effect even if you are on the same OBJ.
Timing? What are you talking about timing... People just crouch spam and pistol spam and hope the bloom is better.
Someone is new to Halo and you clearly didn't play Reach when EVERYONE hated this.

if you are just holding the button down it's going to fly all over the place, I've gotten way more kills way quicker by just tapping the button a little slower than the max fire rate and most of the time the bloom is manageable within certain ranges

Spamming will always win close range. You can't control bloom... It's random

So you're saying you can't hit anything and it's RNG because of bloom, but say taking your time to burst fire so your rounds land on target gets you killed because everyone else just spams and ignores bloom and land all their shots, killing you?

Also I legit thought this thread was going to be about light bloom when I saw the title, lol. Some lights are blinding.

No matter if some people are having problems or not, you can't deny that reticle bloom is purely rng. No matter how skilled you are, if the goddess of fortune decided to ♥♥♥♥ you in the ass, you would have a disadvantage.

At least with weapon recoil you can still some what control where the bullets are going. But not with bloom

While I have no problem with bloom so far, it's just kinda frustrating when I'm having a 1v1 in a somewhat close range, both using the AR, I kept my crosshair on the enemy's head, but somehow I still lost because my bullets just decided to dip out

Im talking about close range. Almost melee range. You can't "spread out your shots" spamming will always win.
Long range yes of course burst fire. Thats not the problem

At close range bloom is less noticeable, they're talking about long range where it's most noticeable.

Yeah or with the pistol. At close range bloom is a major problem. Everyone in this thread things im talking about long range lmao

Close range is where the problem is because you can only spam your shots and pistol bullets will go around the head and its annoying when you win 50/50 of the 1v1's cause bloom is random

Halo is a casual game for console, is normal they use randomic spread instead of recoil.
