In halo 2 and 3, we got to experience a new form of halo were all we had to do was insure that our shields did not get too low, and know where cover is. But Bungie has brought back the concept of health in Halo: ODST, so should the spartans have to deal with health in Halo: Reach? Could it potentially change how multiplayer is played, and would you want it to come back at all?

Your friendly and eccentric Sangheili forum-poster. :)

Health brings back the thinking aspect of the game. If you have less health, you're going to start making less risky decisions, whereas if you have more health, you're going to take more risks. It changes the game for the better, and makes it so you're not a human sponge soaking up bullets.

I love the LORD my GOD! I am a pretty cool guy, I love to draw anime and watch anime. Highschool of the dead, Blue Exorcist, and Mayo Chiki are my favorites!

Look... I'm on bungiepedia!

I want Health bars to return, but no Health packs. We should be able to see our health level (like shield level) and it should regenerate... about 5x as slowly as the H1 shields do.

It would nice to see health your health. We have it in Halo 3, it regenerates slowly, but still, it would be nice to see.

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.

If there is gonna be health, there is going to be a healthkit system, healthkit systems are unbalanced and there are many problems that come along with a healthkit system.

So no, health is not a good idea.

Only shields works.

Uhh... there's health in all 3 Halo games. It could be visible and regenerate just like shields; it would simply add a new layer to combat, knowing where you stand in terms of vitality.

5x as as slow? oh god >_< the only reason I like halo is because every fight is fair. you can out Br a guy, retreat and get back in the game very quickly, slow shield regen would just promote camping and more conservitive game play.
EDIT: I think I misread your post you mean the health regenerated as well as the shields but the health comes back 5x as slow?

Bring back the health meter otherwise once again we could all be running around naked with the shield genny on our backs and helmet because for some reason the 1 ton armor we are all encased in can allow us to survive an orbital drop but is unable to deflect a single round. It would also end this random health halo 3 had which means you could sometimes dump an entire clip from a plasma pistol at someone and not kill them. If the health bar regenerates then we are all the same old Spartans with two shields. It would turn it almost into an overshield instead of a health bar. The health also brings back the armor penetrating effect of the sniper rifles which meant even after letting the shields recharge after ever single hit a sniper could take someone out. It would also leave the door open for the old types of weapons where plasma would take down shields faster and ballistic weapons took down health faster. Please also do something about the battle rifle so it is a little more balance like adding the weapon scatter that halo had where it did not hit everything in the reticule and that was just where you hoped to hit. I guess just add a new campaign some new maps and update the graphic to bring back the halo we feel in love with rather then the golden encrusted turd there is now
