Hell yes! This would be awesome! To top off the "field amputations," blood should spatter on your visor in campaign mode. For example, if you fire into a Flood at point blank with a shottie, your visor will be splattered with gooey Flood blood. The chief could wipe it off with his left hand after he's done fragging. Not enough to mess you up, just enough to look awesome. Also, blood should stick on player and view models. What this means is, if you shot an Elite in the face at close range with a sniper rifle, you'd see the individual particles of brain matter sticking to your gun, and if you were playing co-op the other allies would see alien blood all over your armor.
However, I don't think they should do anything over-the-top - I only want realism, not some retarded gorefest that makes no sense. Now you may think that what I have suggested is over-the-top, but conditions really are that bad in real life. Remember the first episode of Band of Brothers? They had to crawl through animal guts while being fired at to temper themselves so they wouldn't lose it or puke in action.
Ragdoll physics would compliment this quite well. Unfortunately, I think adding all these things to Halo 2 would reduce the framerate to about 2fps. We've stepped into the "PC gamers only" territory. Meh, I'm getting a new PC anyways. :p
