Armor lock nerf. Reticule bloom optional. 3SK beast machine coming back.

Gonna be a good update.

This update will make me very happy, and it shows that 343i knows what they're doing.

Fucking YES! humansArmour lock always has been, still is, and always will be stupida dumb, overpowered gimmick. Except this update changes this. classic magnum might be cool, unless it's whored. Bloom is stupid too, glad to see it gone.
Looks like i'll be going back to Reach.

This. Though with all of the TF2, occasional JK2, and non-gaming I've been doing lately I'm probably going to get bullshat by something completely unrelated and ragequit Reach again. %-)

The classic pistol will only be in the classic playlists, which is awesome so it won't be whored in playlists with the DMR and all that.

Never had a problem with the bloom, myself, I just sort of delt with it like everybody else who played the game was forced to. I'm neutral on the implementation of a bloom option. Though I think no bloom will even the playing field with H1 pistols.

I'm just glad they realized shipping Anniversary with nothing but MP maps was going to cause nerd rage.. I welcome this TU

guess 343 knows whats up

Gonna be hilarious if they do Halo better than Bungie did. They did wind up with some of Bungie's big employees so I wouldn't be suprised

From this, I can conclude that 343 has a better idea of gameplay design than the Reach team.

[TeeKup]

D ear god yes. I can play reach again.

wait, a new INability to block sword attacks with anything but another sword? as in, that lucky as fuck situation where youd sometimes melee a sword lunge and live is gone?
