I find it more realistic.
This is Halo.
So?
Realism would raise the skill gap. In fact, anything in real life is more skillful than Halo. Or any video game, for that matter. This is why I believe this to be true.
-blam!-, our REAL troops forgot to turn on their SHIELDS! They'd never die, because obviously requiring to fire at someone 5 times is clearly real and a leg shot='s a headshot as well.
OK, since apparently people enjoy trying to make me sound stupid for saying "realism would increase the skill gap", I will tell you all what I mean by this.
Well, in the first place, in real life, you have to train to get good at what you do. Body, mind, the works. This makes things more difficult than in any video game I can think of, but if it works out, you have an edge over those who didn't bother with such things.
This training thing is only mostly irrelevant in the video game world; All you really need to train is your mind, which handles aim, cooperation with the team, intuition, the works.
Now, if the game itself becomes more difficult (and if you do this through elements taken from real life), that means you have to condition your mind even further, and not everyone is going to do that.
Now I'm not arguing for full-on realism. Whatever is acceptable realism that really does increase the skill gap is fine. Everything else is flat-out Acceptable Breaks from Reality.
