If you guys want brutality or more blood...go join the military and go to the Middle East...you can see it for real and get your fill of it. If you come back alive..I doubt you will want to play it in a game.
What makes halo good is it is different then the others. Do you need a pool of blood after you kill somebody to really enjoy it?
If you do, then maybe bungie can add the families and children mourning the loss of those that are being killed. Then it will be really realistic.
To travi26, and others that don't think Halo should be more brutal (i.e bloody), here is my case to you.
Halo CE was gloomy. It was a dark game, especially on later levels when the flood were introduced. Remember The Library? Where are my fellow CE fans out there? Even without the graphical ability/power to have dismemberment (a la CoD WaW) or intense blood splatters, Halo CE was still a very chilling game.
As the sequels have come out though...
...Everything has gotten shiner, and brighter. It's as if Bungie had been invaded by a bunch of children busy experimenting for their first time with crazy fingerpaint. EVERYTHING got a splash of color. They reached over to the "bloom" knob and turned it WAY up.
On one hand it's different. I'll give them that, not many M rated FPS's out there are colorful. Gears, CoD, Killzone, are all dark, realistic games heavy with the browns and the grays.
But on the other hand...
I am sick and tired of playing a game that looks like it was colored by an over-caffeinated child who has a box of ONLY the primary crayons next to him. It would do Bungie well to at least lose the color, the brilliant shiny quality that almost everything in the Halo games has, and go back to the way it was in CE. They already have in ODST, but even at the same time as making the levels darker, they have a new mode (in the form of the ODST's visor) which helpfully outlines things in BRIGHT COLORED LINES.
I especially think Reach would be a perfect game to go back to the gloomy side of Halo. Heck, we all know how it turns out, it certainly isn't going to have a happy ending.
