These post are interesting at the same time they irritate the shit out of me. I can tell from the content, you thought about this long and hard and the idea or concept itself sound very interesting, but that's where it's irritating. People are still throwing good ideas around to make this game better, but we can't even get bungie to manage the day to day game play. Go take a look at the "wish list". It's laughable how enormous it has become and how very little of it has ever EVER been addressed. I'd say, although this is a cool idea and you sound like someone who knows a little something about real-world protective wear and how it could relate to the damage modifiers in this game, we have so many other basic needs that are not being met. For example...lag and Redbars in crucible, matchmaking, nerfing the nerf war, hit detection, obsolete content, strike and crucible map expansion, private lobbies, p2p connections...the list is almost endless. Just take a look at cozmo's "wish list" Ps, the irritation I mention is not at good and well thought out ideas like what you have hear, but just that these things can and won't ever be implemented due to the fact that bungie has become impotent and can't or refuse to even fix the major issues we face everyday. Bungie is a flaccid penis right now.
