im tired of people thinking that the health bar is out of halo 2! do you honestly think that a half ton suif of armor thats 500+ years more advanced then anything will not have health mojiner amor is stronger than the elites armor in amor density and sheild capabilities (forgive me for spelling)

now in the e 3 build they didnt have any power ups meaning no med packs or over shields. that dosnet mean that health is gone. they took out the health in the demo version to speed up gameplay. you know how in halo you can turn of the sheilds well i guess you can also turn of health.

i strongly believe that there will be health in halo 2 it will balance out the game. sheilds can take bullets not plasma health can take plasma but not bullets. it makes game play balanced it gives a player a second chance at life. if you dont have health you cant take a nade blast.

i dont mean to flam but i want the posts and ideas to end i just want a straight answer to this. so many people want health to be in halo 2 me included. i want some good replys and i would like there to be some mods to give us some answers about the health bar. dont flame me im trying to do the right thing. so please tell me why you think health will or wont be in halo 2

so its out? thats not right i dont think it will be balanced gameplay

I Agree. Actually There Is A Health Bar...Well somewhat of a Health Bar anyway.

me neither...and everyone still thinks that the Zanzibar build is final. THERE STILL MIGHT BE HEALTH NO ONE KNOWS YET so quit thinking that the mountain dew/E3 Zanzibar build is the final game. There wasnt even melee combos in that version, foos.

Ok i'm sure bungie isn't -blam!- up enough to make it so if you get shot 3 times after your shields are down you die. 3 smg shots? 3 pp shots? 3 br shots? they don't all do the same dmg so it couldn't possibly work that way.

sry about the no paragraphs, but can i get a link to the no health bar being finalized its not in the halo 2 faq i dont like the idea of there being no health in the game it sounds odd its not right. that would be the fps not to have any hp. i hate the idea.

i hope that if there is no health you can have an option to at least have health on or off like in sheilds to put em on or off. alot of people i know want there to be health and hope its in.

and do you think its right comon you guys played halo imagin halo legendary with no health! its bad an elite would kill you in a sec with there plasma rifle its not right health should be in it

well now that i can make it through your post i have to say that is the &*#@$ piece of #$%*#$ i have ever read. Ok i'm just kidding. :-)

Really it doesn't make a difference to me if the health is in there or not. I think Bungie has got the game making thing down pat and I'll trust their decision. I didn't hear a single person from the Mountain Dew review complain about the lack of health. So it can't be that big of a deal can it?

Im willing to put money on this not being the last thread about the Health bar!
Ive talked about this with other people who played at E3 and I have heard no complaints, some people even said they didnt notice any change! But overall everyone has said it still feels like Halo. And as long as thats the case Im happy either way!

sorry kid it's not in there. It's just a sheild bar and when you get shot 3 times when your sheilds down you die. and you grunt/moan when your sheild is down too.

Grunts and moans? Oh god they better not be like the splinter cell healing moan.

there will still be health in the game, it may have been taken out to speed up gameplay (in the e3 o4 build). think about it, if there was no health, that would make plasma weapons ridiculously better than human weapons, wouldn't it?

You guys are pretty damn stupid. You believe a fan over what a Bungie representative has said about this?

As I remember it, those Mt. Dew people played the Zanzabar demo from E32004, whereas Bungie had stated that the health bar wasn't out at the time, but was being worked on the final build. There will be a health bar, but it won't show up like it did in Halo 1.

idiots... what I wouldn't kill for another world war to rid the world of all these idiots...
