Remember what Louis Wu said, leaked images contain tons of information for beta testing, etc. As well as placeholders and missing features.
I never got the impression that by getting rid of the health graphics, they were getting rid of or changing the health system. By some of the posts, I get the impression this is what some of you think. Maybe I'm just the one getting the wrong impression.
The idea, iirc, behind no shields, is to change how people play the game. Halo did quite a few things that changed FPSers, or at least, how people played Halo as a FPS. The shield system for one, and the two weapon limit as another. I'm sure Halo 2 will bring some new ideas to the table.
When do i go for a health packet if I have no GUI indicator? Well, if your shields are down, and you got shot, but aren't dead, it may be a good idea to get a health packet if its nearby. Or you can realize what Bungie is trying to do (like stop clunching your wound. Remember the Rules of the Vid Master! Long live Marathon!). Maybe. I for one am willing to place my faith in Bungie and whatever they do is for the best.
I am so with you on this. People are just afraid of change that's all. Teddman from opa ages siad it didn't affect how he played the game and if you didn't look you wouldn't even notice. Shiska said there still is health but you just cant see it and he explained it very good I wish he would come in here and clear this all up AGAIN. Whether it be the Pistol's unfairness or the petitions for bots or this, these topics are really the only topics that ever are really discussed on this forum.
