I take up your challenge:
1) a lot of blood and gore would not appear because you would be burned, and there would be no blood, because the wound would have been burned shut instantly.
2)well, yes. But, If the first one is true, the person would be dead before he/she could scream.
Halo does have a slight core system. Ever slash an elite with an energy sword? Blood comes out. The same thing can be used. And you are right about the energy sword, but you will be dead.
The plasma weapons in the game are weakened a little from the books, to make it more fair, so for game purposes it burns off the paint, and when you die it burns through.
Bungie might be able to implement a gore system, if they wanted. It has been done before.
Oh, thanks for bringing that up. Can't work out teh problems if no one mentions them.
It's nice to have someone thank me for attempting to counter their theory :) I know what you mean about the burns being sealed shut but still, i doubt Bungie would allow people to see rediculously burned flesh. Oh and Halo's current gore system isn't really "gore"...it's just a small splatter of blood which means that if this armor degrading system was brought into Reach and they implemented gore, it would be a massive, massive step up from the other Halo games...
I think if there wasn't that much gore (e.g. the same level that it's at now) then armor scarring would be absolutely awesome...it's just...implementing it so that everyone agrees on the level of violence/awesomeness would be quite difficult (Some people love more gore where as some people hate it...Some people love super realism whilst others hate it etc. etc.)
I see where your coming from there. I think that the middle is the best way to go. Like, if you shoot someone with a rocket, they won't explode in a gory mess, but maybe there is a large blast mark where the flesh is burned, and the armor is broken away. But there should be a point where no more damage can be done, like you will not be able to see the flesh if the person unless they're dead. This system will most likely have to be game tested to be perfected.
