Go ahead and try out No Bloom
Devin Olsen stopped by last night to point out the No Bloom gametype Halo Waypoint released - it requires the TU to function, and is currently only available in Custom games. Folks have already modified it to work with, for example, MLG settings (GAF's eeblogue released two versions, described here), and with crazy kill-real-fast gametypes (FyreWulff put together Super Swat 64, described here). Some love these, some hate them. Try them for yourself!
