Something cool for Infinite multiplayer would be some kind of cosmetic armour breaking mechanic when you deal the killing blow to an enemy spartan.

What I mean by this is rather than a poof of blood and then a rag doll, give us some armour breakage similar to how brutes armour breaks apart when shot in certain spots.

I think it’d make using power weapons and hitting accurate shots much more satisfying visually and would be one of those features that would give halo infinite more of a next gen feel.

My ideas so far: - the sniper rifle leaves a entry and a big exit hole on the helmet, maybe smashing and cracking the visor of the helmet. - the skewer would crumple and smash away armour upon impact and expose the under suit around the impact area. Also it’s melee with the large blade on the front could also smash away armour pieces. And obviously give it the ability to impale Spartans to walls (goes without saying) - the gravity hammer would crumple the breastplate of the armour and shatter the visor after a successful connection, the following physics effect of the gravity pulse would then send these smashed chunks flying - the Spnkr rocket launcher would do a similar effect to the hammer I imagine - for the precision weapons like the BR, commando and sidekick it’d be cool to see that final headshot leave a bullet hole in the visor (RIP Kat) to really emphasise the importance of precision and further reward it with a satisfying effect - needler supercombines would be amazing for blowing away armour in a pink burst - sticks with the plasma and stick grenades would also be good for this armour smashing effect

Anyway I think this would be a really sweet feature that would push infinite into a greater sense of satisfactory gameplay and just look really cool and be a new addition to the franchise that’ll make it feel fresh.
