I don't understand this. Why would having a health bar effect the way people played the game in relation to thier shields??? If everyone can see that your shields are gone by shooting you once and noticing a direct hit, and if you can tell when your shields are down because of the Shield bar in HUD then what's the point??? if there is no Health bar then how will you know when you are about to die? Will there be Med kits?
this is too disturbing for me to comprehend. I think the reporter for opa must have conjectured something outa nothing here. I also think that Bungie didn't show us the final HUD for obvious spoiler reasons and that we will still have a shield and Health bars (i hope to god, if not i'm at a total loss as to how they are trying to affect the way we play the game).
When your shield bar is all the way down, then your shield "pops" (you can actually see it pop, and enemies can too). Then it takes about 3 shots to kill you (when you are shot with no shield, blood bursts from where you are shot)
Why does it matter if there is a health bar or not? It simply takes up space. Its simple, when your shield is down, DONT GET SHOT like in real life... In real life, you wouldnt know how much health you have left, but you know how powered your shield is.
