The HUD

There is no health bar, only a shield bar once it goes down you are pretty much screwed. Untill it comes back that is. So if your sheilds down then only a couple of shots till your dead. A very cool feature, makes it alot more fair than Halo 1. Theres nothing scarier than a guy with a sword comming at you. Also go ragdoll yay!

Tip. if you have the battle rifle and you in close range of someone with dual pistols or whatever your pretty much screwed.

Personally, I like the new one better. Even though it's a smaller size and the pics of displays of the SMG and the Battle R1fle look awkward, I really think that it's creative. I also like how you don't have to hit the back button every 3 seconds to see what team is winning.

No! cause the new one is really cool i have to say. And not having a heath bar is fine cause really your shield is all you need to worry about, once thats gone you need to run and hide or get capped.

I like the no health bar idea, but the hud in e3 was more appealing to me. And I havent seen any screens of these awkward BR and SMG but that doesnt sound to promising either
:(

Nah, you're not being picky, it's just your opinion. You're entitled to it just as entitled as I am to saying that I'm the best at Halo (joking).

I take my comment back. I wouldn't exactly say "awkward", but the weapon display for the SMG, instead of the bullets going ://////////// on the bar, they go IIIIIIIIIIIIIII and it looks weird. The numbers on s and plasma as well as the illustration look weird, but you know what...I think I know why they did that.

No. Look closely at the little display near where the player's Spartan is holding his plsama sword in the screenshot. It is titled "Swords" with a lock on it (The game is locked and no one can get in) and below it it has two bars. One is filled up more than the other. That shows how many kills one team has, how many kills the other team has, where they stand next to their objective of 15, 25, or 50 kills, and who's is winning. It's real neat.

I KNOW I WANT TO PLAY IT NOW. But really wait until nov 9, cause playing it now will only make you want it more. I know all to well... Multi player is great, Frankie you are one lucky bastard to have been playing all this time. (Not really a bastard but im jealous) but all the screen shots all the videos are nothing like playing the real thing. one word description.

"SCRUMTRULESSENT"

or

That was awesome. I wanna play it ten times more now!!!

Aaaaw man! I Have school the day Halo 2 comes out. That sucks. I'll be faking sick for sure.

People are gonna be jumping for live, I'm not. I'm gonna play campaign and learn the story first.

Frankie said in the guide to swords that in campaign the energy sword doesn't last forever, I haven't heard of this. What's up?

Toof, take my advice here. On November 9th, does not matter .Take off the following days.

Tuesday, November 9th
Wedensday, November 10th
Thursday, November 11th (It's a national holiday so that helps)
Friday, November 12th ( This is solely up to you, seeing as the frenzy, while still great, will not be as great as it was the first three days.)
