Congratulations!

You are visitor number one.

What if in Halo 3, when you took damage on your left side, you lost response in your left trigger, and vice versa for the right. Much like the degradation the Warthog endures in Halo 2, but proportional to the Chief's body. Your rate of fire, or ability to throw a grenade would decline.

Leg shots would slow you down, etc.

Your input please:

i like the idea... a lot... although it could be a problem... mabye slowing you slightly, and maybe longer reload times for arms hurt. Maybe the HUD is static filled when your visor is hit.

The Marty Army

Ah, look at the lonely people...

Somebody could just shoot you in the arm when they attack you, and you wouldn't be able to fight back.

Yeah, reload speed could be affected.

sorry, but that would be too realistic, while a neat idea, it would be hard to make it feel right and also slow down the game significantly

and besides, in the books, when chief's armor was punctured and he takes physical damage, he ignore the pain and keeps fighting

and one more point, it would significantly increase lag, tracking 16+ players damage to each body part.... dear god, the halo 2 struggled with damaged vehicles

pretty kool idea, but it would be way easier to get killing sprees and killtaculars if everybody is injured

How bout we DON'T change something with controls, because there is nothing to fix. The system is good how it is. MC is a spartan. Enhanced abilities. If you want to be a "regular" human, then maybe that would work. Otherwise, no.

Armor damage would look cool,but I do NOT want it to effect gameplay.

I think the armor should receive visual damage, parts getting blown away etc...
