I would love to have blood patches on the ground, and more effects in general, be brought back. Bringing the franchise closer to its realistic military roots while still reflecting on effects of the past would be a win-win. Would love to see this be implemented (at least for the Banished and other alien enemies) down the road in an update.

You know, I thought I’d miss it, but after all this time, I realised I actually don’t really care that much whether I see a red splotch or not.
Sacrilege, I know.
I agree that it certainly adds to the atmosphere and ambiance, as well as the raw experience of the game. Is it essential ? I am not sure. I don’t think so. If the gameplay and story are solid, then these are the points that must take precedent when evaluating the experience. I must admit however that adding more blood effects can’t hurt the game and I would like to see them reappear at some point.
I will admit there was a couple times while playing Halo CE on legendary and after killing an AI after it killed me so many times I would just punch it until the whole area around was covered in its blood.

I think if they brought back blood in a minor way ie only when you kill alien enemies then that would be great. They get to keep the T rating and parents are less likely to flip out.
