Would you guys prefer a Halo1 health system were there were health bars and health packs, or do you prefer the current health system? The health bars would make it challenging, while the current health system would make it the way everybody is used to.

Awesome isn’t just a word. Awesome is a way of life. Awesome is a way of war. Teamwork matters the most. Lone Wolves jeopardize the missions. Teamwork is key. Resistance is futile. The covenant fear us, not the other way around. We don’t fight for Earth. We don’t fight for Reach. We fight for the good of mankind because we are A.W.E.S.O.M.E.

I would like a new system. Stamina, Shields, and health bars and packs.

it doese'nt look nextgen , looks good but not nextgen
If by next-gen you mean crappy, dark and colorless, I agree. It doesnt look next-gen at all.

I would like a new system. Treating health differently than shields, that way you can reward players for getting headshots with all weapons instead of a few selected ones, and have the shields be resistant to different kinds of ammunition yet weak versus others (like plasma).

Maybe stamina could effect accuracy?
And Shields, and Bars effect health.
God, no. That would make for terrible gameplay.

There will be health packs and shields just like in CE.

That's another option as well, but if you going to be a spartan in Halo Reach, then it would be just too weak.

This is not my main account. My main, first, and only other account is gt- XxFlyboy10xX

As for my name xBRxPaNcAkeSx I changed my gamertag for that a long time ago to xPaNc4keS.

I Just don't like the look of the xBRx thing infront. I guess I just couldn't think of anything at the time.

There really needs to be a way to change your account name on the forums as well.

The ODST health system was pretty good. I personally prefer the one that is used in Halo 2 and 3.

The only thing about ODST's heath system is that it beats no matter how much health you've lost. I don't know how many times that I have almost gone crazy looking for a health pack because of that beeping. Then just shut the game off If I can't find one.

My one complaint about that system is that you never know the exact moment your Stamina is depleted and when you'll start taking health damage.

Oh, and the beeping when you're low on health, that's -blam!- annoying.

I did not like the ODST stamina system, but In halo CE once your shield was gone you were pretty much screwed. the AR, PR, and even the Plasma pistol only took a few hits one the shields was gone. but lately in the halo games all the weapon fall under tree categories. Head shot weapons, power weapons and, bludgeoning tools.

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.

Yes, I thought that the health bars in combination with shields were a great balance, adding danger, and low health, to a regenerating shield was great.

They should make it ODST health in halo3 odst but have shields as well.

Dont underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.

I liked the system used in halo 3.
Except that they could add this:
When your shields are low and you take damage you dont just see where you are getting shot from.Your screen turns red.Like ODST.

I personally like the ODST system, just because it made you play abit smarter lol.

But I rather not have health packs, just because its not the spartan way. But chances are they are gonna be there.
