There's been alot of people freaking out about how they think the health bar is gone. In the official facts, it says...

Q

What's up with the HUD from the E3 build?

A

The HUD and most of the game UI shown at E3 this year were just place holder and are subject to change and revision between now and launch.


To me, that means that there will be a health bar, they just didn't put it in the E3 demo.

No that means that the health bar is out as we know it unless bungie has a change of mind thats what Marty O'Donnel told the guys who posted in the Opa Ages forum the Halo 2 hands-on and videos

I think that it means that whatever they're gonna do, they're not going to tell us just yet. So we need to just stop talking about it. If they put it in then that's cool, and if they don't, oh well. I'm going to play Halo 2 a lot whether it has health bar or not.

I still think (or at least hope) there will be a health bar in Halo 2.

They used a temporary health/shield bar to speed up the e3 2k4 demo, and used the old halo1 reticule and ammo counters because they havent implimented the new ones and want people to be suprised when the full game comes out. (ex. SMG reticule. someone on this forum said: "oh no! they use the same reticule and ammo for the SMG as the AR!" when these are simply placeholder HUD elements)

At first I was horrified that there was the possibility that it would be ommitted, but as long as you're careful and Bungie makes it so, not having one would work out.

Yeah. If there isn't a health bar, I'm sure bungie will make it so I will wonder why I needed one to begin with. I love them.....

After your shields are out, you can only take a few more shots before dying. I'm guessing that when your shield recharges, your health is replenished. That is actually better than having a health bar, in my opinion.
