Wow, have things changed. I bought Halo:Reach as soon as it came out played it for about 3-6 months then just stopped. I have always been a halo player at heart but HOLY *BLAM* have things changed! Can someone take the time to explain this to me and no, no redirect me to some thread posted by 343, basically just need a summary on what happened after the second map pack came out. Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks!

We had a Title Update a few months ago, which has been applied to most of the playlists and which they're currently deciding whether or not to apply to Team Slayer. They also brought in a new playlist, which doesn't feature any bloom at all, so you can fire as fast as you like without your weapons becoming less accurate.

 

Anyway, I'll list the changes the Title Update made:

 

- Bloom has been reduced to 85%, so you can now fire slightly quicker before you start to lose accuracy.

 

- Damage is now bleed-through, so if you attack an enemy and do more damage to them than they have left in their shield, that extra damage actually hurts their health.

 

- You can now decrease the amount of energy left in the bar of someone using Armor Lock by attacking them

 

- People using Active Camouflage lose energy faster while they're standing still

 

It's a much bigger change than people give credit for. But anyway, welcome back to Reach and indeed to the forums!

i hate the bleed through.

hmm I like it. Just as in halo 3. And I like the fact that the final cm of you energy shield doesnt protect you from the full damage of a melee blow...
