I think that in Halo Reach's multiplayer you should have the option to turn the health bar on and off as well as the sheilds on and off.

This would make it possible to play Halo:CE style or Halo 2 & 3 style. You could even play with just the health bar and no sheilds.

In MM different playlist could have different Sheild and Health settings that way every one is happy.

Halo 1 Health isn't the same as ODST.

Don't worry.

Im not worried im just saying that it would give the game alot more options and give way to new gametypes possibly.

Damn you 353 guilty spark! You killed the greatest stereotypical african american gun toting sergeant ever to tread upon a fictional futuristic setting!

The main point of having a health system implemented in a game is to make sure it is balanced. One of those health systems would have an unfair advantage over the others. No one wants to be at a disadvantage unless they have an advantage, or a perk of their own.

I dont think you understand what im saying. Every one would use the same health system in game but different games could have different health systems.Kinda like Slayer and SWAT

I love my pancakes [:

no he meens that instead of just a sheild lk on halo 3 their could be a separate playlist with only health but no sheilds (teams swat but with more health) understand now?

I'm all for that idea. The more options for custom gametypes the better in my opinion. You could create a Halo 3 gametype where everyone is just rocking some shields, or you could create a Halo:CE gametype where everyones got both shields and health, then you could switch over to a swat-like gametype with just health. Sounds good to me.

Ok look people its like this.When ever you make a custom gametype some of the options would be:

Sheild options:
Charge 0% - 2000%
ReCharge Rate 0% - 200%

Health options:
Health 1% - 2000%
Health pack charge 1% - 2000%

The Health pack charge is how much health you get from a Health pack.

I used to get on these forums back in the Halo 1, anticipating Halo 2 days...I'm back :)

Not a bad idea
