Do you guys think there should be lots of blood and gore when you shoot an enemy? For example if you shot a grunt thier gas tank should blow up and the grunts back should explode and guts should be coming out of it. What do you guys got to say about having more blood and prephaps having gore?

Gore doesn't really make a game good (In any case besides Mortal Kombat) Its just halo is a good game, but if there were to be extra gore it should be with the flood especialy the carriers

But it will make the story gritty and dark.

I personally don't care either way. I always felt that the game was a little more realistic with blood, but the gore is unnecessary.

No, but I do think we need several more threads on the subject.

Yes....there should be.

Halo is a sci-fi war game. War involves blood and gore.

Also, why people post things like "but gore doesn't make a game" is beyond me. Yes, I'd see where they were coming from if it was some new product by a new developer who was trying to make some shallow marketing ploy based around the fact their game is 'gory'. But that's not the case.

This is Halo 3. Halo 3 is not about gore. Halo and Halo 2 were not about gore.

You know it. Bungie know it. We all know it. Ok...settled then. We all know Halo is not about gore

If there was more gore it would just be another dimension to the visual look and atmosphere of the game; probably more in Campaign than multiplayer. As long as it wasn't totally over-the-top Evil Dead style madness I don't see an issue.

More gore is fine.... just fine.

Please explain to me, if you can be bothered, what you mean by it 'will not fit into Halo's gameplay'?

I have no idea at all where you're coming from.... none at all.

Halo would not suffer ANY negatives at all if a little blood spurted out of the back of a helmet as part and parcel of a death animation. Nor would it if a rocket literally blew somebody to pieces.

Sorry man.... but I don't see your point at all. It's not like the bodies, whatever state they may be in, are gonna stay around on the map long enough for them to get in the way.

Make sure its not the game shotgun because then you might be point blank and not hit anything

Sure, maybe a bit more. Don't go over the top and have fountains of blood spurting from a papercut, but like what was already mentioned, it is a war game, and you might as well make it realistic. And bloody. And fun.

I just think since halo already has blood why not have a litte gore?
Just makes thinks more realstic. I mean they have blood spurting out of ppl and all we need now is just some gore. Like having the grunts being ripped in to half if thier gas tank blows up.
I really doubt it a little gore is going to make ppl get angry I mean the game is rated M.

sorry, maybe I was a bit unclear Chomskyite
.. it doesn't matter if "a little blood spurted out" as you say.. but I personally think it's not necessary with gore.. it's just my opinion

Only if there is a lot of gore but if there is little then no one will get mad. It is a war after all and you might as well have a litte gore for reaslim just like someone mentioned earlier.

...hell, I wouldn't.

Besides, with weapons like the sword and rockets, it only makes sense that limbs should occasionally fly off.

The best group for fan-fics ever made!
wanna be part of the Wrath?
arguments turn into battles and battles turn into wars,dismantle the arguments and everything is fine.

Well, bungie could make it a little bloodier. I mean the only blood you'd see was on the floor/ground. Maybe they could have shot marines bloody or charred(from plasma)

Seriously: BUNGIE probably couldnt do it...Though it would be better if they were to add more blood decals or blood splatter.

Not seriously: It would make the news and little kids all over the world would have to get someone older to buy the game.
