i think reaches health system should be more like halo ce. you have shields and then you have your mjolnir armor which actually counts for protection. i think that any covenant energy based weapon shoud do more damage to shields but not to your armor while weapons using bullets would do more damage to your armor but not your shields. that way players would use a wider variety of weapons instead of the boring, overused br. it would put more emphasis on the weapon you choose to pick up and carry around.

the whole energy weapons do more damage to the shield but less to armor ,and bullets do less to shield but more to armor is already true......

I hunt for the Prophet of Contentment, the San 'Shyumm that murdered my son, and stole his birthright, his Energy Sword. They call our species Heretics. They claim to all that our tongues sting, our words a vile poison that feeds on the unworthy. I have seen the true face of Heresy. The head of a gallant warrior lay on the ground. His neck scorched and blistered, scarred by his own blade. I shall retrieve the weapon, and drive it through that bastard's heart! Punishment for his sins is nigh.

NOOOOOOOOOOO!!! you have the worst ideas ever i like halo 3,s more so do alot of other halo fans.

Beg to differ, most Halo fans would rather return to the CE ways. Trust me, CE was the second best quality Halo game released, second to ODST (I have to admit it ACTUALLY surpassed CE. It was really, really good, and I'm not just saying that cause it's new. When 3 came out, I felt disappointed, ODST was a real smack on the butt, I love it.)

In Halo 2 and 3 plasma is ONLY good against shields. Human weapons in H2 and 3 are good at taking out shields and health, making plasma underpowered and underused. In Halo 1 you could get kills with the PR and PP.

Not just that, the PR was actually superior in terms of Killing speed to the AR, and the PP Magnum were a devastating combo, even if your harassment PP shot missed, the Magnum would dominate the distracted enemy.

health system for campaign = good
health system for multiplayer = bad

so make campaign with health and shields like halo 3 with multiplayer.

how about the same health system as Halo ODST it could work just add a sheild meter above and job done

  • 09.25.2009 10:24 AM PDT

how do you know if it would be bad for multiplayer? have you ever tried? it could actually be a good thing. players would use more weapons from both the unsc and the covenant. it would also add a small amount of tactics to the game by deciding which weapons you want to arm your self with. it would also give covenant weapons a purpose.

For anyone who thinks that there's no health in Halo 2 or 3... you're wrong. Flat out. There is health, its just invisible.

IMO having an invisible health bar is just as stupid as it would be having an invisible shield bar. Let us see where we stand in terms of well-being, even if it's going to regenerate.

Oh, it would be very good for multiplayer. As it is now, you can just throw yourself at the enemy and have a chance of winning, as everything comes back. ODST and CE, you can do that once. And even then, you need to plan your assault rather than blindly AR rushing.

thats my point and may be a bio-fome equipment to sustane health

  • 09.25.2009 10:36 AM PDT

yeah there is health but it doesnt really matter. a few shots with out shields and you die. what im thinking of though is having half shields and half health. your shields would recharge but of course you would have to pick up health packs or body armor packs.
