We've all seen every single death animation in action on Halo, from bashing the Grunts in the face, sending them reeling into a backflip, or being sniped from behind in MP and hurtling forward onto our faces.

But what about...dismemberment?

We've all seen the horrific effects of the pump-action 12-guage in Soldier Of Fortune, and the delightfully nauseating frags in Unreal Championship, but is anyone anticipating loss of limbs in Halo 2?

I personally think it was GOOD not to have the elevated realism and gore in Halo 1 (i know that Flood Combat Forms would lose their arms, and you could keep them as pets throughout like the Maw or library, blah blah blah) and that putting the extra atrocities into it's sequel would definitley turn me away from the finished product if i were a concerned mother or parental figure.

Still...imagine a Grunt, scrambling away, pogo-ing on one stubby leg...


Thoughts?

If you want gritty realism, buy Manhunt.

lol! I like your phrasing!

I don't know if it would bring all that to the game. It would be funny but it would reduce the marketing power of the game...

Well put.


Wouldn't really work for Hunters or Brutes (unless you brought out the BIG GUNS) or the Prophets (if we EVER see them in combat). Grenades might do the trick for the BEEFY guys...

Holy Crap!! I Just Stumbled upon a way to make the Hunters vulnerable!! I mean, if my telescoping / scrunchy-armor idea was put in for the hunter's stomach and back armor, then the only way to reach their insides would be to BLOW THE HELL OUT OF THEIR EXTREMITIES!! YAAAHH!!!!

Ever seen the tiny Flood infection forms completely -blam!- the hunters, like on the MAW before you reach the Mess Hall? it's so hilarious...hunters can't do a THING about them, spewing blood all over the walls and floor....

What if Halo 2 turned into another Soldier of Fortune 2? THAT'D be pretty interesting.

it would be true... but that wouldn't be the halo we all know and love.... therefor i would be dissapointed to wait all this time for a SOF 2.... I already know halo 2 is kickass tho... : )

I don't know, I like Battle Field:(Whatever), I real like that mission style of play, I hope they bring that for online play.

Anyways, grunts dismembered, totally sick(both meanings). I don't think it will be in there, but if it was, way to turn it off would help control that. As for Infection forms swarming Hunters, the best place to see this is during that Rescuing Keys mission near the end. When you fall down form the ship and are running around the out side, there is a place with two Hunters and an Elite out post thats getting mob. You can just sit back on a cliff and watch the fun. At first I didn't get what the big orange spots were on the ground but when I did... They have that much blood?

Dismemberment would...detract from the game. I personally do not really care for dismemberment. I'm not sure why, it's just not that appealing. I do like Half-life, though.

Dang freaking straight. Adding in lopped off limbs, exploded heads, and whatnot, would make the game less cool. Gratuitous gore is totally lame.
