Subject: After watching 1UPs review, question about Health

Will the health/critical health essentially play out the same as Spartan sheilds. I know it may not make sense, but it would please many of the players of Halo. Me included. Or will you have to be more careful and play a little less like what we're used to with the Halo games? i realize that this would make sense but i hope they kept it relatively the same.

The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realise it doesn't say anything it's to late to stop reading it.

The health doesn't recharge,you have to get a health pack to restore it.

So yes you will have to play A LITTLE more careful.

It is a mix of 3 things to be specific: From what I understand
Halo 3 Shields
CoD
and Halo: CE health

Initial damage takes out your stamina ("shield"), once your screen flashes red, you start to lose health with subsequent damage. After battle your stamina goes back up but you must find health packs to replenish your lost health.

Right. But you only have to do this if you allow yourself to get hurt deeply into your critical health, you can take some damage. I'm okay with that, but im hoping the damage you're allowed to take before you need to pick up a health pack is close to that of a Spartan in the other Halo games.

It takes a bit less damage to force you in that state.
As you know, they are not Spartans..

I know that. and it obviously makes sense. so it's not a surprise. I just wish the style of play wouldn't have to change that much. I mean its what i thought made halo a great game. Im sure it should stay alright though
