Subject: Those Darn Health Packs

Just wondering. Since health packs are gone, and your health is now your shields, when your shields recharge, does your health go back up? Like, the health is still there, just not on the HUD, so when your shields recharge, your health is back up too? That will eliminate me hate seeing that 1 red.

I think it will sort of be like Operation Flshpoint or Ghost Recon.
You expect a shot of no shields to kill you, so you try not to lose the shields, and if you do get shot, you wont know where, or how many you have left in you, as there is always a chance that the opponent may kill you in 3 hits sometimes, maybe 1 time another.

Taken from the FAQ Page:Q

What's up with the HUD from the E3 build?

A

The HUD and most of the game UI shown at E3 this year were just place holder and are subject to change and revision between now and launch.

Am I dumb, or is the thing he reffers to a shield sign? I got that impression from the E3 vids...

Anyway, Bungie is gonna make it really good, no needs of worry I think. Besides, anything can still change.

Have faith!

But was it the E3 build that those guys played of was it a more recent version. Im kinda hoping the that this feature isn't final because it would change the way you fight people in that you would have to finish someone off as soon as you attack them.

As far as no health in E3 that was a long time ago so they probably changed it. I think HAlo 1's system was perfect, I wouldnt change a thing.

There was no health in e3 because they hadn't had time to put it in the demo. There is health.

Think of your health in this way

Halo 1= -----------------=shield
-----------------=health



Halo 2= -----------------------------=shield
------=health


Basically you just cut a chunk of health and tagged it on to your shields :D

listen to keyes.... he is talking about the same thing as me... it was for the E3 demo....

Health was invisible in E3. It was there but you couldn't see it so it was more tense when your shields are down. Plus when your shields go up, I think your health is restored. Thats better too considering those cowards who always run away in search of a health pack. I like this new system I hope it stays.

Very good point... If you blast someone with a tank and take them down to one red health bar in Halo 1, then they flee and you find them, you just have a sheild to take out and one health. But if in Halo 2 you take out their shields and there is no heatlh... then if you catch up with them in like a minute, they will basically have full health again. thats lame

hahaha.

I cant believe you guys have such little faith in Bungie. C'mon how much does Halo rock?

They made Halo megakickass without a bunch of forum losers picking apart every detail. Halo 2 will rock whether it has health packs or not.

-Also- The only thing that has been confirmed about health that it wasn't on the e3 hud. Whooopdy doo.

-Also Also- If anyone knows from playing at e3....were there healthpacks? (I've read thru a bunch of these exact threads and never actually heard any confirmation on healthpacks.)
