I just lost to my bro because he doesnt use shields when i do therefore we argued wheather people will use shields on X-Live. I play shields and 100% life, he plays no shields and 150% life. Therefore the pistol head shot rules. Now PRESUMING bungie add a weapon that with a headshot and no shields will kill you outright, i think that this will ruin X-live for people who like me arent pistol pros and arent that good! I want to know weather you use shields, not wheather Bungie will use headshot kills!

uh, they are in the game for a reason. why your bro thinks hes smarter than bungie at gameplay balance, i have no idea... shields are there to make the weapons of covies good. the plasma pistol without shields seems like a bad idea.

if some people do not know how to play with the alien weapons and use the excuse that they are no good or take no skill, they should play a different game... they are wrong. thats it. rockets game type is fun every now and then. im sure no shields is, too... and i play with 400% all every now and then. its not the standard, because it shouldnt be.

There is BARELY any health so i think that turning the shields off wont be an option, but im pretty damn sure you can turn it up to 200 or 400 etc

What you mean, is that there was no health in the "pictures we never saw", and so people presume that they "didnt see" a health bar!

Part of the stragety of the game is how you use your shield and let it recharge it would suck without shields.

and if there was no life but like 200 or 400 percent shields that would be even worse because it would take forever because you could just hide and let your shield charge then fight again with full shileds.
