I was on a server last night. It seemed very hard to kill or to be killed– I hit one guy with 3 sniper rounds, first one in the head and he still didn't die! Then I shotgunned the back of the head of a stationary player about 5 times before he died.

I don't think this was a lag thing– the game was playing smoothly and it was consistent– I was just as hard to kill.

Can the health/shields be set high enough to do this, or does it have to be a mod?

You can adjust the shield/health integrity in the Edit Gametype mode.

Doing so can dramatically change the pace of the game. One gametype I loved was on Blood Gulch, team slayer, plasma weaps only, both kinds of hogs, 400% health, no shields and FF off. Hogs went everywhere, gunning positions ruled and it was hugely different. We tried it on the maw servers a couple of times.

Heh, Simon, I ran into a similar problem. I had an AI version of Hang 'em High in HaloCE where it was nearly impossible to kill or be killed. I finally realised that i had put my custom game type on, which I forgot was for messing around with dev trainer. So, 400% health and shields and everything. ;)

I hate extra health exept in stunt servers because its so hard to kill and it changes gameplay completely.
