Ive noticed that when arming a bomb in assault when it blows up, it destroys nothing but nearby players.
I think that in halo 3 when you play a game of 1 bomb assault if you arm the bomb every round the base should crumble and be destroyed by the bomb.

Same thing with multi-bomb. You arm it 3 times and the base is destroyed.

The only problem is that say the score is 2 - 1 and your winning and you have a little kid on your team.
The Kid will be like

"Gimme the bomb!" then run into the base trying to get a point. He gets killed but at the same time your entire team is trying to cover him and while you guys are running out there sending like 1 or 2 guys to your base and the score is 2 - 2 cuz the little kid did'nt care about winning he just likes to see the base crumble into a heap of rubble.

With the score 2 - 2, your team has to get another score to win or settle for a tie, they cant just stay in the base and guard it.

Do you guys think having the bases be destroyed would be worth it?

I do because i think that wont happen often at all, I think it will happen, but not often.

i think that they should be weakened, like have cracks, and concrete chunks fall off or something

Nice idea - I don't see why not, the Xbox 360 should be able to handle the amount of detail.

they already do some damage but only to the things you could destroy by shooting or smacking them like windows and those 4 pillars in the middle of the zanzibar base.

I think the bases themselves should be damaged.
Whats the point of putting a bomb in a base if your not gonna destroy anything but a few windows and Pillars.

I think it would be an awesome idea. The only problem is that it might give too much of an advantage to the first person to plant a bomb. I mean, then, afterward, the base would be in partial shambles, and would be much harder to defend. So, I agree, but only to a certain extent.

I dont mean like holes in the walls after like the first bomb.
I mean like cracks and structural damage to the base after the first bomb or two but not enough to make a new entrance to the base.
Then when you arm all 3 bombs the base will crumble like this
This damage was from a terrorist car bomb. Imagine what bombs should be able to do 500 years from now.

i think that the concrete chunks should kill players if they fall on them. not only is the enviroment destructible, but it also kills!
