I don't see any bloom, do you?


A few days ago, well, okay, practically a week ago 343 Industries posted gameplay footage showcasing one of Halo: Anniversary's multiplayer maps, Damnation. Having only getting around to viewing it now, I, as well as a few people on YouTube, have noticed the DMR in this video does not contain any reticule bloom, meaning, the crosshair doesn't expand with each subsequent shot fired. This is a feature that was added to the series last year with Halo: Reach, but it seems we'll be without it come November.

Check it out for yourself in the video--after the break--at around the 4:10 mark, and drop a comment below telling what you think. Is this a mistake? If not, will you happily bid goodbye to reticle bloom?
