I don't know if this should belong in the weapon ideas topic, but here goes..
I have suggested a part of this idea before in another topic(not created by me), but I wanted to give it more attention in a forum where you only talk about the armor.

In my opinion MC's armor should be upgraded, making the player feel like he's really a supersoldier.
1. The shield should remain the same.
2. The armor should be just as strong as the shield, except for the head part, which I think should be half the strength. (sniper headshot still one shot kill, But on body a 3 shot kill)
3. It would be cool to see MC's armor break off after being shot a few times.
4. Destroying some parts of the armor would result in loss of certain abilities. For instance backpack gone no more armor, no more radar or the ability to communicate with teammates.

So when youre running away with the flag and people are shooting you then you're screwed?

Good one...


I still think Halo 3 shouldn't differ too greatly from Halo 1 and 2. Look at hte success. If it were to be too much of a different game it would suck.

i think that the hud should be changed to the likeness of a real helmet. kinda like the one in the metroid games. and when you get hit without shields it cracks and melts etc. maybe bungie could even reveal MC's face when an explosion flashes in front of the hud.

THAT would be cool. Except for the face, that could get tricky as people would get the image and put shots up over the internet. Aside from that it sounds good. Also the destructable armor would be pretty cool.

Showing the face would not be good, when it would it should have a very damaged face.

I think that his shields could be relatively stronger.
In halo 1 The Mark...what was it V seemes pretty strong, then again you had health bars and now his shields are more rezillient. Maybe if his sheilds were a tid bit stronger. otherwise ive thought of the same things.

good post.
