The 27-year-old was grinding DICE\u2019s flagship sequel when something stood out to him: his shots were barely hitting. It\u2019s not something Shroud is used to at the best of times, considering his famous in-game marksman history, but this was particularly bad, according to the star. This time, it was all down to one thing \u2014 \u201cbloom.\u201d The Battlefield mechanic is designed to level the playing field via unpredictable shots, but according to a very angry Shroud, it just makes the game \u201csh*t.\u201d Twitch\u2019s human aimbot flew off the handle at the controversial Battlefield 2042 mechanic midway through a heated battle on Orbital, after he copped several avoidable deaths. \u201cHello?\u201d Shroud yelled. \u201cDude\u2026 the gun bloom! Why is there so much? I\u2019m shooting right at him and there\u2019s just nothing happening, the bullets keep missing.\u201d The star continued shooting, his cursor directly on his opponent\u2019s head \u2014 you\u2019d expect nothing less from Twitch\u2019s aimbot \u2014 but the bullets kept pinging wide. He hit boiling point: \u201cDude, where are my bullets going? F**k! I f**king hate it, man, I hate it so much. Sh*t f**king game, it makes it a sh*t game!\u201d \u201cIt\u2019s not even recoil,\u201d the heated streamer continued, \u201cit\u2019s literally just that the bullet doesn\u2019t actually go where I tell it to go. Oh, bro, it feels terrible.\u201d Shroud soon landed a few kills, battling his way through Cryogenic Plant, but he was far from done with his lengthy Battlefield 2042 tirade. He\u2019s made it clear in the past he\u2019s not a fan of the \u201cbloom\u201d mechanic, and he let DICE know again. \u201cLike, are you kidding me with this sh*t? Really? I actually think I have to not aim on the target at all to hit something in this game. I have to put the crosshair above them, or to the left, and just hope the spray goes wide. If I put the crosshair right onto them it just doesn\u2019t do anything. \u201cYou can\u2019t even predict bloom either, cause if the gun does randomly go straight you have to be aiming there. Aiming to the side, there\u2019s just no point doing that really. None of it makes sense.\u201d \u201cI love it!\u201d he added sarcastically. \u201cIt\u2019s just my favorite, really.\u201d Shroud admitted he gets why it\u2019s in the game, and understands the bloom mechanic can bridge the gap between skillful shooters and casual players. However, that \u201cdoesn\u2019t mean I have to like it either,\u201d he added. \u201cIt makes sense, it just doesn\u2019t feel very good. It rewards worse players, which I think is weird. I just don\u2019t agree with it. It doesn\u2019t feel like good gameplay design to just decide to make better players worse.\u201d \u201cOnly really bad games stop you from shooting straight,\u201d he concluded. \u201cI mean, hopefully, DICE will fix it soon, but that feels like copium, honestly.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Shroud explodes over Battlefield 2042 gun bloom: \u201cIt makes it a sh*t game!\u201d Twitch: Shroud \/ DICEMichael \u2018Shroud\u2019 Grzesiek has taken aim at Battlefield 2042\u2019s gun bloom mechanic, exploding in the middle of a match and declaring DICE\u2019s decision to include the controversial feature in their sequel release has \u201cactually just made it a sh*t [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-21420","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21420","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=21420"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21420\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=21420"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=21420"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=21420"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
