Subject: stamina 'sheild'

Im sick and tired of hearing about it. For the sake of game wise, the 'stamnina sheild' is the reson your marines dont die with every hit they take in halo 3. they just transfered it to a playable perspective. thats my theory.

Stamina shield = skin
You people happy? stop saying ODSTs are like spartans.

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

and how!

The stamina is basically the amount of damage your armor can take before you start taking hits directly.

If it wasn't there people would whine about being able to die far too easily.

Haters are going to hate.
Praisers are going to praise.

The Bungie Forums are what keeps my mind sharp and my fingers active, between writing my own movie scripts, drawing, and studying industrial design. At the moment I'm working on miniatures for a short movie that I'll hopefully be able to film once I've saved up for a camera... That's me, with the mug, trying to have a conversation with Konoko.

Yeah, its just a gameplay mechanic, one that Im not too fond of.. Atleast the shield was realistic, in the plauseble kinf of way.

Arcade realism FTW!

Thats my old account.

Long time Bungie fan, I love videogames and such.

I dont think anyone would like the game if every plasma grenade instantly vaporized you, and spiker rounds crippled limbs permanantly. It's just a way to make the game playable, and enjoyable. Realism isn't always good in video games. Besides, who said that 6ft tall genetically enhansed soldiers sporting 2 ton suits of armor surrounded by an invisible energy sheild was realistic, eh?

I think he means in the sense that if you COULD engineer such a shield, it really would stop bullets. Skin, no matter how you slice it (or in this case shoot it) would never stand up to the kind of damage we'll likely be enduring in the game.

'cough' seven feet 'cough' XD
Thanks for areeing with me people.
im just tired of everyone complianing that ODSTs are spartans. i think the only way thel be happy is if you went out into battle in jeans and a tee. then there would be no shields stamina/energy.
then you would definatly not be a spartan. lmao

We can't tell for sure, but it basically changed the HUD to make a shield bar more like "stamina meter".

I was in 5th grade. I popped in the Halo CE disc into the massive, clunky first generation Microsoft Xbox, and wrapped my small hands around the controller that was almost too big for me. Little did I know what I was getting into.

10+ years later, I still look up to my childhood hero, Master Chief, while everyone talks about He Man and Spongebob haha

I honestly don't like the health system the idea of picking up health packs annoys me. I would have prefferred if they made the health system cod style. You have to stay on your toes but if you make a mistake and live then you arent going to be extra fragile
