i see your point about the reticle bloom on the DMR pooky, but i have yet to have anybody get a lucky spray and pray kill on me up close with it. halo 2 and 3 got MLG'ed to shit and back because of the br and lack of projectile error (and i suspect halo 1 would have too if it supported online from the get go). it became a "whoever shoots first wins" game where two people just jump back and forth landing all their shots. i like the new reticle bloom system since you do actually have to pace your shots to avoid them spraying everywhere. now its not just whoever shoots first wins, but also whoever keeps their bloom inside the reticle's circle. i think its a nice addition.
im in total agreement with the bloom on the sniper, though. when i was playing with it at first, it seemed like the reticle bloom settled before you could even fire a second shot. im not sure if its the bloom or the autoaim, but i have popped more headshots and noscope headshots in the past week in reach than i ever have in halo 3. im not even good at sniping, let alone noscoping.
