Think about it, sure the MC has more sheild... but what about armor? Technically a grunt is stonger then the MC... thats so stupid! The MC is a spartan, and all that gets him is cardboard armor and really cool shields. He is officially the weakest character in the game now, not counting the flood infection forms. Its just his shields that let him take damage.

Have you played halo 2 yet? Have you been shot in the stomach by a plasma bolt or a bullet?Even if MC had his armour on,just like all the other spartans,it would burn right through it IE-Linda,Sam ect... Hell in my oppinion this will make the game alot more fun :D

In the article:http://rhoxbox.com/articles/00007.html They say that there is no longer any use for med packs...I guess because there is no health...

Health is still there there is just no health bar you still get 2 or 3 shots after shields are gone. MC is not weak his armor is still there. They took the health bar away to make it more realistic I mean how can a person know ok one more shot in my foot and im dead. Also they took the bar out to make people be more aggresive. In halo 1 people ran for cover the very second their shields popped now you have more shields and less healthe meaning you will be more aggressive.

Basically its because if your shields drop....one or two hits WILL kill you...so there is no need for them...just dont let your shilelds drop and youll be fine :D

Dont you people read articles on HBO? It says that there wont be any use for health packs because of no health. Its balanced with a more powerfull shield!

Now, think about it... if the MC has only a power full shield... technically thats all he is... without his shield he is weaker then a grunt.

Actually I always thought the health pack thing was weird.....Here you are, you just fought 3 elites and 87 grunts, you've got 1 red bar of health left, then you walk over this magic container and everything is ok now, full health... I think a hardcore shield is cooler than the health...

Keeping your sheild up is going to make it more fun and realistic, and make you think instead of blindly charging in and getting fragged....

True, no health packs is more realistic... but no health is just stupid! It literally means that the MC has no armour... its just shield.

The marines can take more damage then him for gods sake!

So why the hell do you need armor? Why don't you run aroud naked with a little shield pack. Would fulfill the same purpose right? Maybe, just maybe the call "armor" armor for a reason.

No, Aristotle's right. Don't be stupid mindslaves, people--after all, I think it was Marty O'Donnell who said that this is still (or was recently) a hotly contested issue within Bungie. Chief's armor alone--and by this I mean the physical shell, sans the shields--should offer greater protection than that offered by grunt/jackal armor. If one plasma bolt is enough to burn through Chief's armor AFTER the energy shields have eroded, then in the campaign one plasma bolt should be enough to kill grunts. Right? Right.
