you were dead with one pistol shot when you had no shields, yes, but what about the assault rifle? what about the shotgun at 30 meters? maybe you could survive 2 or 3 needler rounds.
for me, the health bar has been the basis of countless tactical decisions in single and multiplayer
Too right, it leads to many varied tactical decisions on my part, and would probably do the same for Master Chief himself. Remember, there's only one MC so he'd be making tactical decisions as well for self-preservation and would change his decisions, say, if he could survive only four plasma rifle shots, and would choose to snipe instead. If the bar goes, what else are we going to have to tell us when we're dead, other than the shields? Losing the health bar sucks, I hope they include it in the full game, or at least an indicator of your health that's just as visible.
