Just for visual effect or some thing that effects the game play should MC's or an Elites armor be distructable? By Distructable I mean: Once shields are knocked off line and the armor is exposed bullets or grenade fire will blow off areas of armor. For example once shields go byebye and some one gets shot in the hand or the leg or any other area enough times it will be distroyed. It would add some more realism to the game to see shrapnal flying off one's own body. Plus if an area is damaged enough shields are weaker there or are non-existant. If one can live long enough to just have thier armor almost totally stripped the next shot or two would kill them. It would make Juggernaught a little more difficult for the Juggernaught. It would force players to fight more aggresivly in close-quarters and more inteligently in larger open spaces.

Anyway I'm Blaming crazy, tell me what you think.

Visual armor damage would be cool. But I don't think it should effect gameplay. (how would you know what part of your armor is damaged?)

Yeah, it shouldn't affect gameplay. But it would be cool to see bits of armour fall off.

I decided to stick you with a Ralph Nader for fun...

but actually yeah, not to the point where mass amounts of plates are falling off but just to where some minor components and smaller chunks of green plates (or whatever multiplater color you are) fall off and expose some of the black underlays of the armor (or whatever other color if youre enabled to choose the underlay plate color) cracks in the visor maybe and bullet holes would be nice too.
But no youre not crazy I think this is a completely logical idea that Bungie can take into consideration because they have the damaged armor components on the book and plus the Mark V broke too...every armor has its breaking point.

Yeah, It would be kind of pointless for it to affect game play. People die easy enough in multiplayer as it is. Oh, and If an area is blown off the black under armor would show throu and there would be some small metal chunks sparking or some small wires hanging out.

yea this would be awsome, but there would still be no point to it unless the put the life bar back. so the more life you loose the more armor damage.
