You guys keep talking about the realism of war.
But you fail to understand some aspects of gore and realism.
A 50 Cal Sniper Rifle in real Life, Rips a person into Two Seperate Peices.
Rocket Launchers Destroy reinforced Armored TANKS.
You simply cannot have that kind of realistic gore.
Sure, John-117 stopped a rocket with his hands, but thats fiction in the First Book.
Plus how the the Mjolnir armor play into getting hit by rockets, grenades, or Large Caliber rifles?
A Spartans armor can't simple blow off. It would require a Large Plasma Bolt to melt it away.
Plus If you want more realism, then the Plasma Rifle would be overpowered. In the Books one bolt literally Melts into the armor through the shields.
Not to mention if you had a conflict with a rocket launcher, and you ended up exploding, What would happen to the peices. Would it be randomly scattered? would you be able to interact with the peices? How much damage would that deal to network performance?
I agree with the whole Accurate area damage thing you are talking about. Headshots and blood coming from a hole in the visor. Those would be great. Harsh on networking, but would be interesting if it could be done well.
But to have exploding bodies, Realistic or not, is just not really a part of the Halo universe. The only thing that comes close are the Flood. And thats because they are Zombies(Basicly). Thats the theme of the Flood though. thats how you can tell they are dead.
Honestly, If you want Gore, go play FEAR when it comes out for the X360.
PS. The X360 doesn't have Six Processors, it has 3x 3.2 GHZ Duel Core processors. Theres a Huge difference when it comes to performance, Heat, and Programming. Please double check your Facts before you post something that will make you look dumb. :)
