Are you referring to the no health bar thing? In the original Halo, he could take multiple hits before going down. Also, the same goes for Elites. When their shields go down, they are really vulnerable. MC is still a badass not because of how many bullets he can take, but the fact that he puts himself into the situations with all the bullets.
No Im not referring to the no health bar thing. This thought just came to me while playing with no shields. Just looking at mc's armor, thinking about all the science and technology that made master chief, the space age metals that are most likely thousands of times stronger than steel that make up his armor, and the masterful engineering of the whole project...designed to provide the utmost protection to the single most important person in all of humanity........but one pistol bullet kills him.
You just factor all that into it, and you come to realize MC's armor is worthless. He might as well be wearing a bikini...it wouldn't really matter as long as he still had an energy shield.
Now for the uber-dorks. Tell me more about the energy shields. Does the armor generate it? Whats the deal?
P.S. Thanks to Draerden for that awesome armor link!
P.S.S. This thread isn't meant to diss the way the game was made or anything, I just tend to have an eye for detail and continuity, and I never mind a good scientific conversation.
