I think it would be an interesting feature in Halo;Reach if they had a special setting or difficulty that could be activated in the campaign and custom games. Possibly also a special multiplayer playlist akin to SWAT or MLG.

This special Realism setting would allow the player access to the full potential of a SPARTAN's capabilities.

A sprint mode where you could run at he SPARTAN's average top speed of 50-60 mph.

Lightning reflexes,(Could be reflected in a dramatically faster melee)

Greater weapons accuracy.(Seriously the AR looks like it has a 20" barrel, firing 7.62x51mm round should be insanely accurate)

Next to no recoil.( SPARTAN's can flip 60 tonne tanks, I mean c'mon)

Realistic ballistic damage. (Plasma should be as effective as it is in the books, Human weapons should also get a boost, especially against grunts)

Realistic shielding. (Goes hand in hand with the plasma effectiveness boost)

Realistic vehicle physics. (SPARTANs weigh over 1,000 lbs., this would be reflected in vehicle speed, handling, etc.)

If you can think of anything else please give ideas, don't flame, etc.

I hunt for the Prophet of Contentment, the San 'Shyumm that murdered my son, and stole his birthright, his Energy Sword. They call our species Heretics. They claim to all that our tongues sting, our words a vile poison that feeds on the unworthy. I have seen the true face of Heresy. The head of a gallant warrior lay on the ground. His neck scorched and blistered, scarred by his own blade. I shall retrieve the weapon, and drive it through that bastard's heart! Punishment for his sins is nigh.

Nah, none of that is necessary. Halo Reach should play like Halo, though, the game had better be harder on Legendary, like Halo CE and Halo 2. Halo 3 was waaay too easy.

Its not a question if its necessary, its if you would appreciate the realism setting. gameplay would be the same, unless you activated this special setting.
