Think not
Halo isn't like Doom or Mortal Kombat...they could add maybe a little more realistic blood but think about it.
You jump out of the pelican, marines start piling out shooting and screaming orders. Covenant forces all of a sudden start jumping down the trees, plasma hosing out of there rifles. You and your men shoot but the marines are only human. Most of there shots miss or have no affect on covenant armor. Elites start stabbing and blasting your troops while pitiful grunts laugh in your face. One marine get stabbed in the neck, blood and tissue flowing out of him like a fire hose. Another one is slashed open..but he is still alive. His guts begin to fall out while he screams in pain.
"Oh go help! Please someone help! Ahh! Oh god I'm gonna die! Please stop! Oh my god make it stop! STOP!!"
But you can't make it stop, you can only watch in horror as he lies there screaming. While the covenant stand tall laughing
You throw a plasma grenade right into a group of covenant hoping to scatter them. Most of them run away but an elite gets caught in the explosion. The plasma instantly burns of his legs and left arm while fountains of tissue and violate liquid fountain out of his old limbs. He is flung rights behind your cover face down...still moving. You turn him around and grabs you shoulder...but not to hurt you he is begging you to stop his pain, begging you to kill him. He opens his new three jawed mouth at you and screams while tissue and blood come out from his throat and a hole in his neck. You look at his chest. Molten plasma laze there burning off the remaining flesh he has. He screams loudly one more time.
"Wooooooartahhhhhhhhh!" Is all that comes from his mouth before his destroyed corps finally gives out?
You take your pistol, -balm!- and unload a few rounds in his deformed head, just to make sure.
In an act of bravery you run out from under your cover died stepping and throwing rounds everywhere. An Elite is hit with a few two many and falls down to the ground on top of a panicking grunt with blood slowly leaking out of the seventeen bullet holes in his chest. The weight of the monster starts to crush the grunts fragile bones. It lays there trying to wiggle out...he almost makes it but a marine shoots three or four rounds in to the defenseless things head, blowing it off.
You go behind some cover with a wounded marine. He has been shot in the arm, bad. His hand is black and bloody. The burns are so bad you can peal off the skin (I don’t see why you might wan to though) He's crying, but water is not what’s coming from his eyes. Its blood! One of his eyes is missing while he looks on the ground for it.
"Oh my god where is it! Chief help me! That basted. That son of a -blam!-
He stupidly puts his head above the rock and screams at the bostful jackel that shot him.
"You basted!" is all he was able to say before a charged plasma shot hits him in the head burning his already bloody and horrible face.
You run up behind some rocks to try and flank the enemy but as you revile yourself a jackleg hears you. He screams some covenant nonsense to his team as they al turn around and begin to shoot at you. You try to get back into cover but before you can a needle or two (you can't tell or care) go right into your visor. Before you can hit them of they explode, sending plasma and sharp shards of glass and plastic into your mouth eyes and face. You try to scream but the glass blocks your tong and airway. Blood is all yours see, but your not even sure if you can see. And you can't you no longer have eyes, they have been blown away. You grab at your face in pain only to be responded with more pain. And more and more pain. The covenants are loading everything they have into your defenseless body. Your shield holds back the first few rounds but you can't stop them. Hundreds, maybe even thousands of plasma bursts into your flesh, searing it to a hard colish crisp. You fall to the ground a bloody deformed mess. Your guts are hanging out but you can't tell, you can't even see. But soon the pain starts to go numb. The red you see slowly turns to black. And the last thing you hear is
"Chief this is Cortana! Chief can you hear me. Chief get up! Please John get up! John John! JOH---....."
Now try to imagine that in HD. Doesn't sound too good. But I must admit...if thats what combat in halo was like it would be AWSOME!
