Health is better.

Ugh...

First on a BWU.. yeah, I'm cool.

ODST;MYTHIC Screenshot winner! One of the first to get their hands on the mythic map pack.

But we aren't spartans. We are mere ODST's.

Well because in halo 3 ODST
they are not spartans they have a stamina system that generates but after you lose that you need health packs.

Thank you sir, that was an epic rendition of this topic.

and how!

You're a moron.

The entire point of ODST is to NOT be a Spartan...

MJOLNIR armor automatically begins to heal flesh wounds on the wearer, regular armor does not, hence medical treatment would be necessary.

It isn't Halo 3, you aren't a Spartan either, Your shields are essentially replaced by a "Stamina" bar which if lost, you will begin to lose health, like in Halo CE

Spartans =/= ODST

Simple, really.

"Why? What did Will ever do to you?"

O Noes! We have to actually pay attention to our healthz now?

Signatures are for squares.

Health> Shielding, it makes you actually have to be careful.

yeah because were are not super soldiers

Then simply don't buy the game. If you don't like it, why play it? Nobody is forcing you, just one less whiner in the Halo community.

What does that even mean?!?

And this whole thing about complaining about having health packs is just dumb.


Mario needs his magic mushrooms. No-one complained about that.

93% of statistics are lies. Formerly Xfire Grunt. Unfortunately, you can't change the WLID for your BNET account, so I had to create an alternate account. My other WLID was spam city (and it was my e-mail account too).

Health makes even less sense then shielding, how does your health magically heal with a "health pack"?

I would rather see the COD health system, get hit once or twice and you had better find cover quick, otherwise you are dead, if we are talking realism. Of course that doesn't work well in open world games I think.

  • 06.03.2009 8:24 PM PDT

Yes, shields make the game easier, but ODSTs never had them.
That's too big of a hole to ignore.

  • 06.03.2009 8:45 PM PDT

Noobs can't handle AR/Pistol Spawns.

ODST do NOT have shields.. Use some common sense bud.

Suck it up you pansy. Fight for your life insted of running and hiding like a moron.

don't buy the game then, have fun missing out firefight

Health packs don't bother me. I'm just a little bit disappointed that there are still essentially shields. Stamina is just another way to have shields in the game, and I was hoping for a shieldless challenge.

Regardless, I don't see the healing packs as a problem. Worked for Halo: Combat Evolved, and people still reminisce about that game's awesome.

Yes, but they're super nerfed.
If I remember correctly, as soon as stamina hits the health meter, it won't recover.
