It takes away from the skill in the game. I disagree. For any of you old Doom fans (geese, I remember when... :), when you start pumping weapons at someone and it doesn't seem to phase them, i.e. they just turn around and charge down your barrel, it's a safe bet that they've got invulnerability and it's time to turn tail and run! Now if you stay there wondering "hmmm, I just shot 8 homing missles down his throat and charged him up with enuff level 4 quad lasers to light up NY - why isn't he dead?", well, you deserve a mouthful of vulcan ammo. Besides, nothing like unloading your whole arsenal face to face wondering who's invul. is gonna wear out first. CHEERS to Invulnerability as IS!!! Except for maybe ricochets -- that would be very cool. Bob Hournbuckle ;> .
