I think they will hide the health bar under the shield , so when the shield gose down you will see the bars , no longer 2 seperated bars.

that would be a nice idea...it would do well with their "less onscreen clutter" philosophy and still be functional...did i mention that about 5 out of the 6 links, I've posted in, have stopped having people post in them? Either people are going to bed now, or I have very bad luck with communicating to people...

Here's a topic, I love bees, but I don't love wasps, becuase they sting me a lot...discuss amongst yourselves.....

I haven’t seen the new one. I’m thinking the ones we’ve seen are works in progress.

Pay attention to your updates people. The HUD at E3 was a place holder, no one but bungie knows what the new one looks like...

06.18.04
"....Jaime also showed off the largely complete HUD which has moved everything around dramatically, but should still be recognizable to Halo folks. Obviously adding dual wielding makes this challenging, but the new HUD handily shows off the ammo/charge left in a gun, and more importantly, it tells you what your reserve, or third weapon is...."

i think its a brilliant idea because in halo 1 once your shield was gone there isnt much you can do(atleast when your playing against me)

The rectangle with a hole to the right of the shield is the health bar.

A couple of posts ago yall were saying Halo will have a bunch of campers. Halo isnt Rainbow Six 3 and you cant really camp in Halo, your team can hold down a room but people camping can be easily dealt with a few nades. Im not worried about campers they will just feel the rath of my nades and be easy kills.

Trust us all, no health BAR means people cant be as cheap and cheatey online!


Sorry, but do you and me have different opinions on what's cheatey? Health packs happened to be a part of the game, if you don't like it, don't expect others to live up to your ideas of courage and "uncheateyness".

Sure, things that often go against one person tends to make the person angry, and start to blame it on the enemys ideals and morale instead of the personal power one has to change the situation. Ever heard of the much-complained-about phenomenon campers?

My concern is it will cause people to wait until theire sheild is full after a firefight before continuing. Its like an unlimited mobile health pack that can be used where ever and when ever you want.

What i really don't like is the idea that someone with a shot gun metts someone else with a shotgun but one of them fieres too early and takes his opponents sheild right down dut not fully depleting it. Then second guy fires later and kills him but the guy who just died has an ally following close behind with an SMG, who with the old system would have quite easily defeated the man who just killed his team mate but by the time he gets there hes shield has recharched and is back on full therefore meaning the first guy died in vein.

it would kind of change how people play the game and if you ask me it would change it for the worst. I mean wot was wron with the original system.

THE HUD IS NOT FINISHED FOR THE LOVE OFF GOD! THE ONE YOU SAY IN E3 WERE A SUBSTITUTE!!!!

How about the beta then? It was the same during the beta AFTER the new hud was permanitly took over according to the weekly update. Also your character grunts so you can tell your near death when hit without sheilds and you can only take a few body shots before you go down. If you read the books with this in mind the Spartans with their shields down would die if they got hit in the head by a Plasma weapon. It seems the game is more like the books depiciton of the Spartans their shield really are there only defense agains't the Covenant's alien weapons.
