Not good idea taking all the damage. It would decrease the depth of play.
Yeah, it would decrease the depth of play by actually letting you know how much armour mode will absorb so that you can make informed combat decisions...
Agreed, I dont see how increasing the health or armour reduces depth of gameplay. If anything it makes you have to out think your opponent because you know they are powerful, you cant just blindly spray like you can right now.
IF they just had the Crysis 1 health and armour system the game would be so much better.
