Everyone who thinks that we made this up, where have you been all weekend?
On friday night some guy posted that he played halo 2 at fanfest, at first no one believed him, but he was proven correct, he told us that there is no health bar. Read the gamespy multiplayer review, "New shield/health system". People have been talking about it all weekend and most of us have decided that it is true, there will be no health bar! Many people dont like the idea, but i for one do.
1)Makes for faster paced games (4 vs 4 blood gulch could get a little slow and lonely at times)
2) Never again, will someone steal your kill leaving you on crap health for your next fight (Your shield will regenerate putting you back to full health)
3)No need to fight over medi packs.
4)More true to the books, in the books master chief did not have a health bar, with no shield a head shot could kill him. In halo 2 the game is slightly more like the books, with your shield gone your out of there.
The only bad point i can see is -Plasma Pistol- what will become of it, the scrapheap, or will it still be in the game, i cant see it being in the game it may be a bit to powerfull. One shot takes of an enemies shield, 3 or 4 shots kills him, i thin that may be a bit too powerfull. Although in the 20 second ign video and elite is killed in about 2 seconds of continous smg fire, so maybe its not all that powerfull.
