I hope bungie removes health bars and health packs. Notice I didn't say remove health.
Lets think Halo..
Weapons that remove all eight bars in one shot: Pistol, Sniper, Rocket Launcher, Grenade
Weapons that will remove shields and all eight bars in one shot: Pistol, Sniper, Rocket Launcher, Grenade
I don't really see a big difference, bars, or no bars. Especially when dual wielding comes into play. If your shields pop, you're as good as dead. Some will freak out and worry about it.. I wouldn't understand why. And some will welcome no health bars with open arms. Most, (the 99% of Halo owners that don't visit bungie.net) will not care.
Here's a quote taken from xoxoxbox..
One thing that I have yet to see mentioned by anyone, anywhere is the new shield/health system. Feel free to tell me if I'm wrong. Instead of the two bars for health and shield, there is now only one bar for shields. I was totally perplexed and dismayed by this, thinking that the shield/health system was probably one of the best innovations in Halo 1. So I had to ask a Bungie guy what it all meant. He told me that there IS health, but it's hidden under the covers for a reason. It (the health) will actually regenerate the same as shields, but FAR slower, and health doesn't hold out well against any weapon (a couple or few shots from any weapon will completely remove all health). He said that, once your shields were gone, they wanted you to know you were close to death (within a shot or two) and play it with that intensity of not knowing. Anyway, technically, it's not as big of a change as I first thought it was, and play still works largely the same, but I can not believe I haven't seen this mentioned more prominantly in people's impressions of the game.
I do think that gamers would be camping far more often in single player if health regenerated at a very slow rate. That is, if the shield/health system is the same in single player as it seems to be in multi. But like others have said, anything could change..
