OKay , Whats up with the new health bar ? Can someone please elaborate on how it works and how easy it is to bring down the shield for the kill? It looks like there is only a sheild now and no bars ? WTF ! WHY!

There is no longer any measurement of health. Once you're shields are down you're completley vulnerable and can take only a couple hits before -splat!-
I really think this is a great idea and forces you to be more tactical by punishing you for letting your shield down. Keep that shield bar nice and full ladies!

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.

It also speeds up the game becuase you are not looking for a health pack instead of charging into battle.

Bingo! I also like how they removed all forms of power-ups (at least from the demo). It forced people to find more creative ways of getting the edge on their opponents. Vehicle bombs? Falling debris? No more powerup campers? Sign me up!

Maybe the one bar is the shield and the health,and when that goes away the health is a different color or blinks red

Sorry, it's been confirmed that there is no health. Of coure, that could change in the final product.

if you have seen the e3 video i think that the main bar is the health and the two small bars around it are the sheild
