''[[Halo 3: ODST]]'' features largely the same damage tables as ''Halo 3'' but with bullet based damage types having a damage reduction to personal energy shields. Interestingly "plasma vehicle" received a similar nerf but "bullet vehicle" did not. With the inclusion of the [[battle rifle]] in ''[[Halo: The Master Chief Collection]]'' an additional damage type was introduced called "bullet fast h3".

Damage Types, also referred to as "damage groups", are a method utilized by the Halo engine to calculate the strengths and weaknesses of damage effects and how they apply to different materials.

OverviewEdit

Any time damage is dealt within Halo it is done so via a damage effect tag, which controls the minimum and maximum damage, whether it possesses any random damage, and the radius of damage. The tag also contains other variables which can be set to true or false such as the ability to headshot or deal friendly fire damage. Once values are set for min and max damage a damage type or two can be assigned. Damage types are defined in the globals tag and multiply againt the values assigned in damage effect tags. The sniper rifle in Halo 2 deals 45 damage. Its first damage type, known as generic damage, is set to "bullet_fast", which defines all of its base traits such as a 50% damage reduction against Brute health. The second damage type, called specific damage, is "sniper" and adds an additional 2x damage multiplier to spartan and elite shields. By Halo Reach the practice of using specific damage types was dropped and the sniper rifle of that game simply uses one damage type named "sniper", containing all necessary data without needing to multiply with another damage type.

Halo: Combat EvolvedEdit

Halo: Combat Evolved does not use damage tables, instead every damage effect tag contains its own complete set of damage multipliers. Also of note, the total number of materials that exist within Halo: Combat Evolved is hardcoded to the engine itself and cannot be modified through tags.

Halo 2Edit

Halo 2 is the first proper title in which a damage table appears, allowing multiple damage effects to share the same damage type, such as both the SMG and Magnum utilizing "bullet_slow".

Starting with Halo 3 an additional damage table was introduced. This second table is used whenever the Tilt skull is activated.

Halo 3: ODSTEdit

Halo 3: ODST features largely the same damage tables as Halo 3 but with bullet based damage types having a damage reduction to personal energy shields. Interestingly "plasma vehicle" received a similar nerf but "bullet vehicle" did not. With the inclusion of the battle rifle in Halo: The Master Chief Collection an additional damage type was introduced called "bullet_fast_h3".

Halo: ReachEdit

With sandbox elements such as the flamethrower, Flood, and Sentinels not returning, the damage tables in Halo: Reach were greatly reduced in complexity. Specific damage types such as "anti flood", and specific armor modifiers such as "soft organic flesh hunter" and "sentinel" were removed.

Halo 4Edit

Halo 4's only notable additions to the damage tables since Halo: Reach were the addition of a damage type exclusive to the Mantis and a rebalance to explosive damage types. The newly introduced storm rifle and Promethean weapons all make use of preexisting damage types. The plasma pistol and needler are the only two weapons in the entire game that deal bonus damage to shields.

Halo 2: Anniversary multiplayerEdit

Halo 2: Anniversary multiplayer features the Halo 4 damage table modified to recreate the balance of Halo 2. Many damage types are left over from Halo 4 and go unused, including the tilt damage table despite Halo 2: Anniversary not featuring any skull modifiers.
