I just realized something. If in multiplayer you only have a shield and have no health, doesn't that kinda of screw up the plasma pistol charge up thing? In theory, then that will kill a guy with just one charged up shot. Of course I have no facts or anything, but this is a forum for speculation, so what the hell.

You still have health and if you lose your shields you know you'd better get behind cover real quick. Think of it in Halo 1 any gun could kill a unshielded oppenent in a few seconds nothing is really changing other than the Hud is less cluddered.

Directly from the H2 FAQ:

Q

What's up with the HUD from the E3 build?

A

The HUD and most of the game UI shown at E3 this year were just place holder and are subject to change and revision between now and launch.

Then you obviously haven't seen the *ahem* illegal screens then. I would tell you all about it but I cant discuss the details without being ninjafied.

The no health bar makes perfect sense. It will add to the tension it will also remove the need for health bars. And in Halo 1 if you took armor shots and didn't die you automatically went into a cautious mode where you were more careful. Nothing is changing other the less clutter on screen. Also as of this moment according to marty o'donnel (and other things I cant discuss) there sticking with the shield system but that's still as of this moment.

Can all you do is flame? The shield thing is going to be 95% going to be in their trust me if the weekly update's are correct that the new hud is final.

how will it be 95% there if the health bar is there?... BUNGIE said so. and with less health, the PPistol would be more powerful, which bungie said was also balanced[and was]...

we havnt seen the new HUD. if you wish to argue with this comment, i reapeat myself.

Well I guess it wouldn't hurt but in the beta screens the shield bar remains the same as E3 and as the weekly update's said that the hud was finshed and they were so confident that it was final that they removed the old hud permanently.

I never miss a headshot. So why do you need a visual health bar? Even with %400 health, I'll take you out with one shot. lol Health bars.. Here's a tip.. Pay attention to your shields, because without them, you're as good as dead, right?
