In the beta there wasn't and considering that the hud is now final I assume this is going to be a final thing.

The beta is/was not final.

Just cuz it says

"Where's The Health Paks? - Health Paks? We don't need no stinking health paks! We are Spartans! And thus the tru7h was revealed that health was removed, replaced by a stronger shield which still retains its re-charging properties. One on one combat seems to last a bit longer and its great not having to go out of your way to ensure you're maxed out before making your rush. "

doesn't mean there is no health bar. When he said "health was removed" he meant "healthPACKS", cuz that is what he was referring to.

Why in the world WOULDN'T a SPARTAN have their own stamina & health???

They played the E3 build which is older than the beta build and definitely not final.

Great no there will be a hundred threads on why there isn't any health bars.

Look in the FAQS, look at the Official Bungie Info, does it say anywhere that there is no health bar?!?

NO.

That was simple...

I ALREADY ADDRESSED THAT PARAGRAPH.

He was REFERRING to HEALTHPACKS in that ENTIRE PARAGRAPH!

NOT the Health BAR!

there have been MANY posts on this, but this seems like good one on this without any bs, so here it goes. From what i know, they have beefed up the shield and noone knows if there will be a health bar, but i think there will be, If there was no health, bungie proly has changed it by now, and neways, health was annoying(2 an extent), but the idea bungie is trying to put in our heads is the fact that health might not have much of an effect now. Therefore, there is no health to see what we think.

The HUD from E3 was just a place holder till they finished the new one (the one that will be used in the final product). The new HUD will have a health bar, of that I am certain.

but if there was no health bar, then it'd be like the MJOLNIR armor is all that's keeping him alive EVEN OUT OF COMBAT. Like it's a friggin Iron Lung.


the logic of "i haven't seen it mentioned = it doesn't exist" is flawed.

I haven't seen a picture of a frag grenade, but i'm not saying it's not in the game...

if i had to put money down on a choice, tho, i would say

there will be a health BAR (maybe no medpaks (in MP?) ).

Say you had 75 sheild and 75 health in the first game. Now, say you have 149 shield in the second with 1 health. Now say in both you take 100 damage. In halo 1 your sheilds would recharge and leave you with a total of 125 (75 + 50 health). In halo 2 your sheilds would recharge and you would still have 150 (149 + 1 health). See, it will be like having a life that is fully rechargealbe and you won't need healthpacks.
