Should the way you keep your health in Halo 3, like Halo 1 or Halo 2??? They both have there pros and cons such as if your low on health in Halo 2 you can just duck and cover until your shields come back but or the other hand it would be harder for people to get away in the halo 1 style because you actually have health bars and could be killed easier.

I say, there would be a health bar, or something like it, and shields, like Halo 1, but no health packs. Well, have health packs but make it so a UNSC Corpsman has to heal you, and it would take like, 5 seconds to fully heal you. Unless Halo 3 is like, desolate and there aren't many marines, in that case keep it like Halo 2. I never did like health packs.

No health packs, no life bar, keep it the same as Halo 2's system.

Halo 2. Why?

* Health Packs destroyed the pace of the game.
* It isn't realistic to say "I have 2 bars of health left oh noes!"
* If you had one bar left, and no health packs anywhere, you might as well restart the level or the chances are your going to get trashed.

My opinion does not matter.

And my opinion tells you to go to hell.

I don't know. On halo 1 with one bar of health left on legendary, thats how i got through most of the levels. But health packs don't really make sense. If you have the shields, plus a sytem like GRAW's that could work, but the Halo 2 style of health is a lot better.

I think that they should have a joined health plan for halo 3, by this I mean having the Halo 2 system but with extra health bars just to survive on levels in the campaign on legendary. It wouldn't mean that you'd have to find health packs, it would just have some as extra insurance. I have made a post about this a while back.

You have your armor and your shield. Once your shield is down, your armor can be hurt. The more damaged your armor is, the slower the shield goes back. Or perhaps damaged portions of armor would no longer be shielded, if that could be implemented.

I got this idea from disliking "magical" walk-thru health packs, and also the halo novels, where many spartans had pieces of their armor damaged, and switched many components in their armor.

I don't like the halo 2 system, as I find that there is rarely a reason to shoot people if you don't have a kill guarantee, as their shield will recharge, having lost nothing, and you will have just wasted your ammo.

health in H1 was fun so that multiple weaker friends could take you down. But in H2 ranking takes the need for that out. However if you have weaker friends it sucks because they can't play with you online and have fun. Even Unranked matches seam loosely ranked.
