I've been watching the new videos over and over, I can't get enough of them. One of the most obvious things on the HUD was the new shield meter, and I decided to bring it up now, because I don't think it's really been discussed. Any guesses as to how it works, since there is no actual health meter, only shields. Post your thoughts.

The Master Chief emerged from his code. After seeing his dynamically lit realtime shadow, he went back for 9 more months of development.


Behold the power of the Originals, the Gods Axeone-Neurone.

I have been wondering about that too. Maybe its as simple as changing colors from blue to red.

Well, the best I can guess is this.

You see a smaller "bar" en-closing the shields bar...
maybe this "bar" is a health meter...

yeah, that is what i was thinking. I remember someone in Bungie (might have been Frankie) they've "tightened" up the look of things. This could be the health bar is underneath the shield meter (instead of under like in Halo1). So when you get hit, the shield meter goes down and you can see the health bar because it was underneath.

It would be really cool if the your armor talked to you, you know like in half life, and told you your injurys

I'm alone, where is my microphone.

I was thinking that the thing encasing it would be the shield, but then my Idea turned to -blam!-. Maybe as one of you said after you lose your shield underneath is a red health meter. Who know's.
