Subject: Bleed through?

I've heard some people complain about this but I don't know what it is. Can someone explain it to me?

Watch out. If I post in your thread, chances are it'll die. I've been cursed, and if I kill your thread, I'm sorry.

Its where if you shoot someone before their shields pop and you melee them, the bullet damage carries over and "bleeds through" to their health, essentially killing them.

It gets rid of this "I COULD kill you with one hit, but I'm a nice guy so I'm only going to pop your shields that way you don't feel bad." system Bungie put into the game.

Before bleed-through, a melee would not kill someone if they had even the tiniest sliver of shield.

With bleed-through, an can be killed by a single melee if his shields are below (I think) 50%.

Except, there's a glitch where after taking damage, and using a health kit, you only have to be shot once, and then can die from a melee.

Ah, I get it. Thats dumb.

  • user homepage:

just to mention on the "glitch", there should be 2 types of shield... the physical shield recovers slower which causes this. in the same way after being weak and having recovered your visible shield one can die from a single frag grenade since your physical shield has not fully recovered.

I just don't see why they would change it. Did anyone complain about not having bleed through?

I believe people didn't like getting rushed and dying from double beatdowns while they where shoot at that person but didn't get their shields poped before that meleed one another. This would mean the guy that didn't do anything other then melee twice would win.

So instead of doing something like reduce melee damage now you can magically die while you have shields.
