Can you give a comparison to how strong the new shield was when you played,like is it as strong as an overshield from H1 ...You get what Im talking about ;) It's been bugging me for quite a while..

That's kind of a difficult comparison to make, since the weapons are all different.

Ok if you were getting shot by a SMG (Which im going to assume is more or less the same strengh as the AR) would it last you more or less as long as an overshield from H1

Probably about the same aws Halo's shielding if not a little stronger in that situation. Remember, though, the SMG has a much higher rate of fire than the AR.

Edit- This is by no means "official" information. Keep in mind, I haven't played Halo 2 since May. Smaller details like these get fuzzy after a while.

Although I haven't played Halo 2, maybe I could help you out. Since Bungie is known for balancing things very well, and that there is no more health bar, the shield will be that much stronger. Let me explain, in Halo 1 when your shield was depleted; it would only take a couple extra shots for Master Chiefs health to be taken down. So take that lame extra health, and add it to shield power, and there you have it, a shield with a little extra charge. The resistance of dying is roughly the same as Halo, only it's shown a little bit different. Thats about as good as I think I can explain it.

P.S Sorry, the answer was posted while I was still typing. Well at least you have another example. ;)

And let's face it if you didn't have your shields on in Halo 1 you were a good pistol or shotgun blast from being dead. So it really shouldn't change anything from what I have heard from those lucky few who got to play it before me.

Rocket hog is in halo pc, and it reloads about the same speed as the tank reloads.

Shishka already said in the last Lets ask Shishka about Halo 2 thread, that the no health thing isn't a for sure thing. I believe he said it was only becasue they didn't have time to stick it in there. Something along those lines I think.
