I don't know. I voted maybe. See, most of the time, if you get hit so hard it hurts your armor, your shields are down, then you die. And don't even get me started on how much lag would effect the game in multiplayer if it were sending specific info on what each Spartan/Elite currently looks like. It would have to be in Single Player. But then, you don't even see your own battle damage, it's in first person. Maybe battle damage on the other characters would be nice.

I do like the idea, I just don't see any possible way of pulling it off well.
Just keep your fingers crossed.

Yes it is possible but the 360 doesn't effect server speed. So it may still lag.

Halo's a hell of a drug.

That would be tight. It would also need to show up in first person view, not just from a 3rd person perspective.

i agree with the dude who said it would lag it up. I would pay alot to play without lag and anything that incites this lag should be eradicated

only scratched paint, but only abit so 40% of the paint could be removed

cracking visors would be alright but what about elite players, walking about with a hole in there heads ould look stupid

it would be a very cool feature. Like if you got shoot it would crack where the shot was taken( duh). Also it could take the place of sheilds. It all depends though because the shield is a halo classic

Ya that would be cool.

If armor could become battle damaged that would look really cool.

What would work:

Cracked Visors
Paint Chippings
Smashed Plates
Slices in the underarmor
Blown off Helmets (Elite)
Dents
Dings
Your Mother

What would not work:

Decapitations
Severing of Limbs
Gruesome Body Damage
Your Mother

There should also be appropriate animations, like if you get shot in the leg, you start limping and grunting.

Yes. I would also like to see blood splatter on the armor. Enemy blood. Picture running through a group of grunts,mowing them down with SMGs and then you reload and see blue blood on your guns and arms and stuff. It would look even more awesome to see in co-op.

that way certain parts would be more vulnerable,but still keep the rejuvenating health bar.

i think its a cool idea, but they should put it towards the bottom of their to do list, make the gameplay better first, then add extra features

why waste the programming time right now? maybe wait for that for a much later update, but yes it would look cool.

U know what if Bungie can incorporate some way of battle tactic to then yeah it would be a cool new thing for Halo 3. For example, lets say ur energy sheild is already down, u would have ur Mjmolinar suit but once that is dented or pierce then the next shot would kill u...But like only for body shots...not head shots.
