Just some thinking. It's always been noted that most Spartans feel as if MJLOLNIR armour is a second skin since they're used to practically living in it. As MC once thought or coined it akin to, it was like being naked without it.

Think it would ever be interesting to play as MC in a point of vulnerability like that? A portion of a game where MC is stripped of his armour and has to resort to good old fashioned stealth tactics and melee in light of being weaponless?

I figure it'd be interesting from two perspectives, both MC's and the players, since we too, are used to roaming around in a near bullet proof suit of armour. No HUD to guide us along or display our condition, a much less bulletproof state and so on.

Any pipe dreams you folks have for Halo gameplay?

You almost gave me a heart attack there. I thought you were talking about an emotionally vulnerable Master Chief. God, talk about a "Halo: Other M"
OT: That would make for a good mission, imo. I'm a fan of games that have a level or two where the gameplay is altered in some significant way, as a change in pace from just blasting enemies and flipping switches.

When I was younger, I always wanted to see a Campaign mission where you got to drive a Scarab, and since Reach, I've wanted to see Space Battles become a thing in Multiplayer, too.

Sure, but more than anything I want to see his face. It felt awkward in Forward Unto Dawn and Escalation where Blue Team had their helmets off and he's just standing there with it on.

But master chief doesn't have a face! He's what the player wants him to be!

Sounds pretty great, but I doubt Microsoft would let that happen. The twelve year olds would think it was too hard.

This is not the greatest sig in the world, no. This is just a tribute.
Halo 3 ODST was a game.

I'd like to see a game either set while the covenant were still forming or set from the Sangheili's point of view during the rebellion.

His eyebrows sparkling, his white beard hangs down to his chest. The thatched mats, spread outside his chise, spread softly, his splendid attos. He polishes, cross-legged, his makiri, with his eyes completely absorbed.

He is Ainu.

The god of Ainu Mosir, Ae-Oine Kamuy, descendant of Okiku-Rumi, He perishes, a living corpse. The summers day, the white sunlight, unabrushed, ends simply through his breath alone.
He's still crazy strong without his armor. Example being the ODST incident very soon after augmentation.

I was about to point that out. Even without his armour, he's still friggin' strong.

Also, I thought he described his armour as it feels like he's naked since he doesn't feel the weight of it?

I'm aware of that.

But, at the same time, Chief's human. He's not bulletproof on his own. And while he's durable, again, still only human. I think it'd be interesting if we played a segment of a game and were dumped into his shoes in such a position. Just barebones chief essentially.

Still OP, but a little bit less.

Are you trying to generate discussion here or what Verb?

Poking the dead body to see what kinda angry critters come out of it?

Put your boat and fishing rod away Verb, it ain't fishing season.

Don't make me recite some garbled instances from memory where in fact, MC has lasted a day without his armour.

I'd hate to say it but Chief would be nothing without his armor. All the marines and ODSTs he killed in basic training was thanks to that armor.

Cheify was fighting insurrectionists long before he wore his token suit, which, at that point in time, he was still a Spartan due to being augmented. No notes on that during the whole alien party time deal.

But still. It'd be something I'd like to see happen. Sort of a "what makes a man" type moment. The suit or the man inside of it?

Actually, during recovery from his Augmentations, he got into a fight with 4 ODST's without his armor, and ended up killing 3 of them and badly injuring the 4th.

http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/UNSC_Atlas

That being said, I doubt he'd be able to go hand to hand with an Elite without Power Armor. The whole point of this thread is the gameplay changes that would arise from such vulnerabilities. I don't think it needs to be said how much difficulty he'd be in, facing hostile Covenant forces without MJOLNIR.

He, and other Spartans, had skirmishes with Covenant before they got the Mk V armor.

Ah, my mistake then. As for the gameplay, no shields and radar along with all the other HUD elements gone. Only health would be my guess.
