common sense is not commonly used

So far the only released game in the halo universe with health packs was Halo CE. However, it is a fact that health packs will be used in halo3 ODST. Should they continue on into Halo reach, or should Bungie keep the shield only system like in Halo 2 and Halo 3.

Discuss

please keep this thread as a discussion

Here we are again bro... Just you and me. Same kind of moon same kind of jungle. Real number 10 remember... Whole platoon, 32 men chopped into meat... We walk out just you and me, nobody else. Right on top huh? Not a scratch... Not a f**kin' scratch. You know who ever got you. They'll come back again. And when he does I'm gonna cut your name right into him...

I dunno, I've gotten so used to not having health packs...

But I do think that we should be able to see our health levels along with our shields because health does recharge.

Ugh...

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

No health packs. H3: ODST doesn't have a head to head multi-player. It has campaign where health packs are suitable.

But health and health packs should not be in Halo: Reach. Maybe campaign, but not multi-player.

Honestly, I'd say bring back health packs in Campaign and Multiplayer The explanation for the lack of a health bar in H2 and H3 is that the suit injects something (Morphine? I forget what exactly) into them, but the Spartans on Reach had Mk-5's, so logically they should have health bars. And the health system makes sense, considering they actually are human.

Uhhhh. Multi-player is not canon. Health packs was taken out because it was unbalanced, not because it followed canon. Bungie made the canon to go along with what they felt was needed in multi-player.

Health and health packs are too hard to balance.

Its how it works in Halo 3, we just don't have the privilege of seeing our health bar.

  • 07.06.2009 10:58 PM PDT

Signatures are for squares.

Campaign=yes
Multiplayer=no
Option in customgames=YES.

Yes, it would be like Halo 2 and 3, only with health that recharges slower, and is visible in the forms of bars. IMO invisible health is as stupid as having invisible shields (we have a shield bar).

Well, people are suggesting a class based Reach.

Cleric class?

  • 07.07.2009 7:53 AM PDT

Reach MMO. Here's to hoping.

And the people that believe "the hardcore playlists would be more popular if the rules were strictly MLG" can come off it, now. If you're not willing to support something close to your own setup, there's no reason for us to believe that cloning our own lists and stripping the variety down will attract more people. -- Shishka, Bungie.net

I have always found health packs to be kind of hokey. I understand this is a sci-fi universe and none of it is real, but really? I just picked a small glowing thing and now my bullet hole wounds are restored. In other games it is even more rediculous; eating an apple or beef jerky and suddenly you are healed...pretty dumb.

The shields are something that actually makes sense.

  • 07.07.2009 8:09 AM PDT

Remember,
It is easy to be male
it is another thing to be a man.

In the books it is mentioned that the mjolinor armour suits have biofoam injectors that automatically inject biofoam.
How about that in campaign the auto injectors replace health packs. The biofoam however will not last forever and the 'canisters' will have to be replaced/refilled from dispensers or from canisters picked up from ODSTs or some other rarely seen NPCs.
In multiplayer the biofoam injectors should be refillable as most people don't last long enough to make refilling them a viable option.

This man, this man right here put it so eloquently that I actually cancelled my own 2000+ word long post.

The person who said participating is important, not winning, obviously never won anything.

Yes, health packs made Halo CE 10x harder on Legendary. Makes it more realistic, couse in the other games when your shield goes down you can hide wait for the shield to come back, then repeat the process and never die. But if it were CE you would of died along time ago. Makes you play smater.
