The bloom is actually thought to be an effect for low on health or when hit with melee.

Then again its just a preview of the post processing that Raven built into half life.

And the water only reflects the skybox. Making it reflect the map would probably lag a bit.

Besides the entire water shader is still heavy WIP.

Looks exactly like the "glow" effect you can find in various MMO games.

Either way, it looks ugly.

Will there be an option to turn it off?

Er, you can AA ESF no problem. It's not part of HL, but you can set it using whatever control program your video card uses. IE open up the nvidia control panel and you can force whatever settings (Resolution, AA/AF, Mapping, etc) you want.
