does any 1 know if they are going to put the health bar back in cus if they dont that will ruin the strategy in the game. without it u dont know when u will die or if u need a med kit. to me it is stupid not to put the health bar in, but some weird people might thiunk it is good without it. so plz post yur ideas.

They want the 'Halo.' But I tell them: 'No! No Halo! For you, only the 'Frenzy'! The 'Frenzy' and maybe some 'Munch'

The hud from E3 was just a placeholder and will be changed before release. The shield system appears to be stronger and seems to compensate for the lack of a health bar. At E3, you could take 2-3 hits when your shield was down, so i guess that's kinda like a health bar.

If you PAY ATTENTION to the top LEFT corner on the Zanzibar video it shows a health bar... not like in Halo 1 but you can tell it's a health bar...( Sorry if this seemed like a flame,i did not mean it to be.)

My thumbsticks will be your Doom.... sorry 'bout that.

Well we won't see the new HUD till Nov 9th (i'd bet on that). But in the update Frankie did say that there will be a sort of "seperation of church and state" when talking about the Health and Shield indicators.

There are gameplay arguments for and against the doing-away-with the health bar. We;ll just have to wait like good kids and find out in Nov what Bungie's got up it's sleeve.

Also teddman of opa ages fame siad that you'd never notice if you didn't look and that it didn't change how he played the game. Think about it you've been hit with several bullets while exposed the last battle so no doubt you will be more careful so it doesn't in theory change anything.
