So they put that little bit of information in the FAQ...because they are liars? I got your point. Remind me to rub all this in your face when we play Halo 2....wait, was Marty even at E3?

We can't be sure about that...let me consult the same source you use for information....*turns to his right hand and says* "Hey Marty O' Hand, is the shield generator part of the armor?" *moves his hand like it's talking and says* "It sure is Ben!

See totally reliable info from Bungie.

All I did was ask a question, Marty O' Hand answered it. Besides, I really don't have to prove my point, as I have Halo 1 as my proof that there is a health bar in existance, you sort of have to convince me that they would remove it for some strange reason. I personally will just chuckle when I get Halo 2...with the health bar, muahaha!

Im not saying that it wont be in the finished halo2 version.
What I'm saying is that they were testing the game WITHOUT it to see what it would be like.

If you actually READ that "poopy" article then you'll know why the health bar wasnt in the demo! And, you'll also know that they are still debating whether to leave it out or not.

Err...halo1 isn't halo2 unless I've missed something unbelievably huge...

You NEED health bars. Removing them was a temporary move, everyone has said so. Without them you would not know whether to take more caution when moving or even take cover. They did not remove the health meter, it may look different, but it will be back, not having it there is just idiotic.



Weapons vs. Health

Pistol - One shot to the head = Death
Dual - One shot anywhere = Death

Plasma Pistol = Four shots = Death
Dual = Two shots = Death

Needler - Four Needles = Death
Dual - Two Shots/Four Needles = Death

Plasma Rifle - Six shots = Death
Dual Rifles - 3 = Death

Think of the AR as the new SMG's

Single handed - Death in seconds
Dual - Death instantly

Grenade = Death
Sniper = Death
Rocket Launcher = Death
And so on..

That the health "bars" are pointless? I take it you've never played a no shield game.

  • 06.05.2004 3:56 PM PDT

SB-117

[color=pink] Maybe this would be a better idea to have if you were playing legendary. because there are some people out there that think legendary is too easy, well not knowing your health would really make it challenging now wouldn't it? but maybe to just know your health but not acctually see it fall would be better. like presssing and holding the BACK button while not in combat and you could check your health status.

It would also be kind of cool if when you press and BACK the select button you could see your teamate's health, ammo, how many grenades, and what weapons they have (as well as your marines/ODST's) while playing co-op or single player campain. you couldn't really do that in multiplayer becuase you are alwasy in combat.
