Obviously ODSTs dont have shields, and their armour is weaker than that of the spartan even without the shields, and the ODSTs themselves are weaker, and so surelt the ODSts must have hardly any health.

Shouldn't 1 or 2 spikes from a spiker kill you?

Actually I believe that a stamina system works like the Halo 1 shields and after it runs out you start to lose health. Health can be recovered by finding medical stations/field medi-kits in the city

yeah i know who the systems works, but how strong is it?

Nothing to see here, move along.

From what I've heard about ODST, it seems as though they're trying to get back to halo 1's gameplay. So I'd imagine we would have similar health and shields to that.

i know how the stamina and health works, but how much damage can you take before you die?

My troll sense is tingling.

I think the 1 or 2 spikes will apply to legendary.

Here’s what Luke had to say about the differences in treatment between the Spartans and Elites in Reach:

“Instead of piece-by-piece customization like the Spartans, Elite customization is a full model swap with models selected from the various Elite classes appearing throughout the Campaign. There are all kinds of reasons for this, not the least of which is our continued emphasis on the Spartan as your identity in Reach.”

Location would have to determine damage.

1 or 2 to a weak point on your armor that hit something vital, like an organ or major artery/vein would kill you.

But if it hit your armor plate, then less trauma would be transferred to your body. And since the spike would remain lodged in your flesh, bleeding out would be less of a problem.

Though if you got hit in the head, the helmet may not be thick enough to stop the spike from killing you.

Realistic much....
Anyway, I think you can take the equivalent of one Brute Shot before your stamina is gone. Then your health goes down. The stamina recharge happens over a couple of seconds. Peace.
