Hello, I'm complaing about something new today. :) I was just lookin' on here while listening to some music and I came across this post . (read it all, don't half-ass it.) Any-who, in there you will find out that bungie is making it so you have a shield bar, and once your shields are down, if anything hits you, you die. I for one think this a very bad idea.

Sure you might think, well the shields will be much stronger now, and that bungie can work it out. But now, once you hit someone they will definately flee and try to find a hiding spot. I loved Halo 1 for it's shields and health bars together. I know I am not alone on this.

Another reason why it should be normal is that it would be realistic that way. Being shot once in regular armor should not kill you. And as Reiginko said in the linked post above...

The Spartans originally didn't even have the recharging shields (they stole it from the Covenant, who in turn had supposedly stolen it from the forerunner), and the MJOLNIR armour is supposed to protect the wearer from ballistic and plasma damage, so taking out the health meter is ridiculous.

---I know I'm going all out on this, but hey, if the changes stay, this game will be a lot less desirable to me.---

People believe that the new health system was in their just for the demo. But someone in the linked post above believed they heard a Bungie guy acknowledge that it has changed.

I know that you might think Bungie has their crap down, but if the health system was perfect before, why change it? So please, put the health bar back the way it was, thank you, and goodnight.

Don't complain about the new system until you've tried it. At least, that's my opinion. ;)

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.

How about to speed up the game. You won't have to take time out of battle to find a health pack. Letting your shields recharge will be the same tactic as Halo.

I just think the the original one looks sleeker. But, I've only seen the new one through the multiplayer demo, and it was very low res. So, lets wait and see...

Its a new game with new stuff. Get over it. Little things like the health bar won't ruin the game. It is still gonna be awesome.
