I was thinking, why is it that in every halo you bleed thru your armor? Every time i see it i get angry (lol). Why not have a health system that comprises of shields, armor and physical health. You could have #1 at the top of the sandwich a sheild bar, #2 in the middle of the sandwich a bar that indicates armor condition. A solid bar that changes from green, to orange to red as your condition gets worse, like the odst health bar. And #3 the classic halo CE segmented health bar at the bottem.

Rockets would still be 1 hit kills, snipes would still be 1 hit kills, but it would make assault rifle/ smg battles feel a little more realistic. If you hit an unarmored area i.e. stomach, knee or shoulder than it would skip armor damage and go directly to health. It would not be as complicated as it sounds.

YOu see that would be a good idea but ithink it would be a little more comlicated and challenging to find your current health but its not a bad idea.

...And when i am standing there, watching as the slingshot is cranked back into the shadows, a smile will bestow upon my face as I softly whisper one word..."blam...."

because when a bullet goes thought armor and flesh, the velocity of the bullet pushes blood out of both the entry and exit wound and if it hits a major artery the hear can pump blood so forcefully that can squirt up to 4 feet. and its just a -blam!- game.

Where is the bullet hole? If 007 on the N64 can have bullet holes than damnit halo can too.

What? that would ruin the whole idea of them being human.
I suggest that if you hit an unarmored area that it goes directly to physical health (sheilds down of course) than you bleed. And when armor condition is flatlined you bleed thru bullet holes
