Everyone who's played Halo multiplayer knows that every now and then you can get murderded for picking up a health pack, not just because you picked it up, but because you were temporarily blinded and didn't see where the guy with the shotgun who was chasing you went. I'm just curious Bungie, what made you guys make the health pack like that? Did you do it because you guys thought the flash of white light on your screen looked cool or what? Just curious, I think they made it like that because maybe they thought thats how the chiefs MJOLNIR armor would charge up or something similar to that. Maybe they should consider toning the flash down a bit in Halo 2. And oh yeah, Halo rocks.

Perhaps he has a near death experience, and that flash is his whole life

I think that Bungie was trying to balance out things.

I think that they should make the health pack only restore 50% of your health

Naw man, the pack should always fully restore your health, if it only restored 50% it'd be imposible to beat the game on anything other than the Normal difficulty setting.

Anyone can easily hit you when you pick up the health pack. Like a melee to the back or a head shot. But the flash doesn't stay that long.

50% health would suck, maybe not if they added that in addition to the 100% health pick-ups. yeah i do have a problem with the blinding light too... it's just annoying but it hasn't distracted me to the point where someone else kills me.


No, I don't die from the flash in multiplayer, it's just annoying. But I have died maybe one or two times from that flash in single-player.
