Firstly what did you prefer? The Health and Energy Sheild bars in Combat Evolved and Reach or the plain Energy Sheild bar and regeneratin health of Halo 2 and 3?
Secondly, (slightly different question) what do you think they should use in Halo 4 and the rest of the new trilogy?
Also, how did you find the health bar in ODST?

I think they should have the health bar, but since it's the Mark VI suit, they should have regenerating health like the Elites in Halo: Reach. I thought the health bar in ODST was fair, I still think you were able to take a bit too much damage though for an ODST. I was honestly expecting and kind of hoping for something a little different like where you have to be a bit more sneaky or not encounter quite as many enemies all at once.

Yeah, I know what you mean. You can still jump almost three metres high, you can still punch massive enemies to death and you can still flip large vehicles over. It wasn't much of a step down from being a Spartan.

I hope that it's the shields with hidden regenerating health. It works better for matchmaking because then you don't have to hunt for health packs.

i think it should be the same as reach and combat evolved
Simple as that

I preferred Halo 2 and 3's health bar. And I miss over shields and active camo orbs, they need too bring them back!

I think the regenerating health would be better. It needs to have a combination of the two.
You do have a health bar, but it regenerates after your shields do. Besides, isn't the current armor supposed to dispense bio foam?

I'm 23, I have a house, dog, girlfriend, job and I have no interest in any fanboyism so if you're thinking about sending me a childish PM, don't be surprised when I don't call back.

I think we should have a visible health bar that regenerates.

In memory of those fallen in the defense of Earth and her colonies.

Please go back to Halo 2/3.
Or at least have it so you regain health back to full, its so annoying have low health knowing you die in one shot no matter what.

I think they should have it like the elites system in Reach. There is visible health, but it slowly regenerates back up to full.

Nope, M6 armour won't allow.

Hello! I'm Bunie.net's resident medical student (hell i'm sure there are more but I'm the only one who openly declares it!) I love my emblem, and I am periodically active.
I have a Twitter

Its MarkIV armour, so it would have regenerating health, like Halo 3.

Doesn't really make a difference. Either way, when you lose your shields, you're one shot.

I prefer Reach's health system over the others.

Mark IV is old tech. Master Chief has been using the MJOLNIR Mark VI for some time now.

the halo reach health bar is better
