Subject: MC's Armor

I know this has been discussed before, but nobody found any hardcore proof. Everyone wanted to know if the MC's armor will depict the damage he's taken, and/or get scratched up, or have chunks missing and stuff. I found a pretty old screenshot that prooves this pretty well. The MC on the Stationary LAAG has what looks to be scratched armor, and that piece on his leg looks like its not even painted. Interesting.......
Don't bite my head off if this has been posted before.

Hm. Im not sure if its a LAAG. That might only be on the hog. It could be a LAIG.

Well whatever, its a turret. The point is, his armor is thrashed!! Oh, that would be awesome. When your on a running riot, you would sure be able to tell from the armor!

I'm shocked this isn't a bigger deal..... what if blood could splatter on you?? I bet your MC color wouldn't be white masterchief08. LOL

Gnorsh

Was that supposed to be Norse?

As far as I can tell those scratch ups appear to be the actual texturing, but there is some credibility to your point. I think I've seen different degrees of damage on the armor, but I might be wrong.

yeah, i know for a fact that there will be damage show on the armour. it probably changes depending on the damage u've sustained and how it was sustained (ex. blow off plates if u got caught in an explosion, bullet holes for bullets, scorches for plasma weapons, etc.)

and he said MJOLINOR, not older. mjolinor is the name of the hammer of the norse thunder god, thor, in case ur wondering.

If pieces of armor get blown off if you sustain an explosion, will your shield still recharge fully?
