So far it seems like there are not going to be any health packs in Halo 2, only sheilds. If this is the case are head shots even going to matter. Or can you shoot someone in the foot, as many times as anywhere else and still kill him.

It is still possible that health is still part of the game. I hope it is.

but if its not i trust bungie.

There is no Health bars for your HUD(Bungie might change that). But I think you have health. Because I have a Halo 2 MP vid and a guy survived a number of shots before he died.

Guess we won't know till...........NOV 9.
I think headshots will always count though.
That's how I usually drop grunts, one shot one kill.

No, no. He's right. You're being an ass. Knock it off. Not everyone has all the info on Halo 2. Try not to make the rest of us look bad and be a little more polite.

Just try putting a piece of tape on your TV screen over the health while playing Halo 1 that's what it will be like. Also dont ASSume you wont like it everyone who has played Halo 2 likes it.

You seen the leaked beta pics? Hell you don't even have to go there, if you seach through the webcam archives you can find a pretty good pic of it. You will notice that there is no health indicator in the HUD. Now I do recall Frankie talking about before that Beta went out that they had got a final (at least final candidate) form of the HUD to be put in the next Beta, which is now this one. Having a health indicator does not look good. Now will there still be as much health as Halo 1? We'll see but it looks like you won't know the status.

Have these boards fallen to the level of the g4techtv dot com boards? And believe me, that doesn’t say much. People on here read "news" and they misconstrue all the information. It turns into crap-fests like this display of back and forth between two people who know nothing more about halo 2 than the rest of us. Quit all the bickering and celebrate Halo 2’s coming, whether it be August 24th or November 9th.

The no bar is fine with me infact it will change nothing for me. In Halo 1 if you lost your shield you only could take so much and it was easy to know if you took a few rounds and lived you were tetering close to death. A health bar really was unecessary and because the shield is stronger now it wont be a problem at all. There will still be health just not visibly you will have to use instinct and use your head. Act like you play ledgendary that a few seconds of exposure without your shield is lethal it forces you to play smart and I totally agree with the change. And in those Beta screens the shield system looked fantastic!
