Does anyone else think that this new health thing is a lot harder to figure out than halo 1.It seems that u only have a shield then one bullet kills u when its down. I like the health bars. Just take out health packets in the levels an it will be great.

i think that the mc should have a health bar..but this health bar will recharge slowly after the shield is fully charged..i also think that bullets should maybe sound like the sound it makes when you shoot hunters...that mettalic sound...atleast that would give the impression the armor was working..add a bit more bullet taking toughness and the games will be alot more balanced..where you dont die 100% when its 2 on 1 a skilled player in h1 could take out both

actually, the way shields in this game are MUCH MUCH more exact to the book, when MC's shields were down he rellied on his armors... armor and if anything got through, well like anybody he'd bleed, but his suit had internal biofoam injectors which would be right on the wound, thus MC made it through halo (1), so in this way its extremly right. and as sfor where you dont die 100% when its 2 on 1 a skilled player in h1 could take out both that was because of the magical weapon called the pistol!! OMGZ0R 1t w4s S0 1337 m4n!!! and i could do this often killing their entire team in 2 clips, i found this cheap and am glad they tweaked it... lmao, but honestly, if your good your more accurate, i've taken out 3 guys with one SMG and often can take 2 guys down with dual SMGS, its not hard, just need to get used to the new system of not I win woot pistol!!!

Eh I kinda like it. But man, It gets so hard on Legendary. Give it a shot, I'm on... lets see, fourth level from the end I think, and man its hard. I wish I could get health, I usually make it to the end of the level with what would be 1 bar of health.

If you have no shields, and someone is shooting you, you will die.

It's kinda like life. If someone puts 3 handgun rounds to my chest and I have armor, I may live. If I don't have armor, I'm counting solely on luck and that their aim sucks.

If they had made it so as the health reserve takes hits, so does your vision, and your speed, that would have been interesting and potentially amazing. Still no health packs, and yes your shields recharge, but your health status (crappy vision and speed) remain.

But again, it is what it is. We're not in development and we're not developers. We're gamers, we play the game.


Recon, that would be really cool, especially if you (well, not really you, since you can't look yourself over) could see the damage on you body, like, penetrating shots would leave blood on your armor, as well as armor would crack as it took shots. It would probably be most prevalent in multiplayer, but it would be cool to see you bloodied corpse flying around the map when you die. But also, like if you got shot in the arm, guns recoil would effect your aim more, as well as leg shots slowing you down, and getting beaten badly would cause partail blackouts from blood loss.
