I did the exact same post yesterday! But, it was said to be like that because that way people would die faster and more people could play the game

Health never served a purpose in Halo 1 so they took it out. Now when the shield runs out you have a few shots you can take, when the shield regenerates and runs out again, you will still have that many hits to take. Techinally, you can always have full health if you let your shield regenerate.

Ive tried to tell SO MANY people this! But no-one understands! They all say "WAAHH!!! WHY DID THEY GET RID OF HEALTH???!!" when:

1) You still have health but you cant see it +
2) Its not been decided whether the bar will return.

But, it seems in the weekly update that the still have the health bar so everyone quit complaining. Halo 2 wont be ruined, just improved...

It can be considered health but you can't see it.

How many shots would it take for me to kill you? This is my point....No-one knows how many bullets he can take so why should master chief know? Of course we all know that a single rocket or grenade can kill us though but thats common sense... Anyway, in real life you dont have a health bar and its not very often in a firefight that you check on your health, you just shoot like hell and hope to suceed

wow your dump they TOOK it out of the e3 demo not out of the full game! jeez they took health out so it would move faster people could only play for 30 min. do you honestly think a 1000 pd suit of armor wouldent have any armor. that would make the game terribly unbalanced and unfun i wouldent play it if i didnt have health im not kidding that would ruin the game. health balences out the hole suit. plasma kills sheilds and bullits kill health. thats the whole concept of the suit to help you live longer in battle. why would they make a better majioner suit with no health that would be a step down. the new suit will have more sheilds that recharge faster and you can jump higher and run faster and you will get a little more health thats what i heard about the health thing. the new suit will be better in those ways. i cant belive so many people think that halo 2 wont have health! thats not halo to me. health is what makes the game balanced geting rid of health is not a good thing to do.

But in real life we have pain to tell us of our current condition. In games we don't feel pain, so a health bar tells us how hurt we are.

I know very well that the health bar is in read my post even higher. I was just trying to show people why they shouldnt be whinging about the placeholder bar...

Yeah, at first I was highly against it when I thought..."if your shield is low in Halo 1, and all the enemies aren't dead...you are gone anyways." Plus you can still take a few hits without it, so I don't think it will work waaaay too much different.

If you read the Flood or if you go through the tutorial in the gameand due all those test things, after the MC is just getting out of the cryo tube the Navy guys waking you up say "powering shields up" and then it says " engaging health monitor" and on your HUD the shield bar and health bar pop up.

This year's E3 was a place holder. You died easilly for two reasons.

1. So you couldn't mess around with the level a ton(aka exploiting Halo 2's secrets, and dare I say, flaws) before you died.

2. They weren't finished with the HUD so they gave it a quick place holder for the demo.

Also as it has been stated there now is a health bar. So quit complaining.

Wow your a loser, you would'nt play Halo 2 if it did'nt have a health bar, seriously, your a chump.
And I wish they kept the health bar out, the Shield bar in the E# 2004 demo was actually really good, I actually wished they kept that, as it is sweet looking, the shield bar in halo 1 looked kinda bland an lame, but that one looked sweet.
