Hey everyone, brand new to the forum and havent been researhing eveything I can on H4 yet. I have two quick questions. 1. Is there bloom in the game and is it as significant as Reach? 2. In reach you had to completely drain the enemys shield before meleeing or else you wouldnt get the kill. Is it like this in H4 or is it back to the older halos where you could get a kill with their shields still up by melee? thanks !
