Get back to work this ain't no picnic

Do you like the health bar in Halo or the Energy Bar in Halo 2?

I thought the health bar was cool. But then again, I've never been a big fan of the whole "lose some health, pick up a health pack". So it's probably for the best (at least as far as realism is concerned) that we don't have one any more.

I liked the fact that someone who just got into a firefight would come out somewhat wounded so that he couldnt just run away and hide for a little while and wait for his shields and health to come back like in halo 2. It also lets you know how bad you are hurt when in a fight. I dont really see anything wrong with it considering most of the health packs were very easy to reach in almost every level. They were placed in areas where they were easily accessible.

Doc: "i'm a pacifist"
Caboose: "your a thing that babies suck on?"
Tucker: "no dude, that's a pedephile"
Church: "tucker, i think he means a pacifier"

i don't know, i'm kind of mixed on this subject. honestly i hate having to get health packs but i do like knowing my status, so to speak. maybe instead of a "health bar" a bio meter or something that shows vital signs? i don't know, like i said i'm mixed on it.

Pfft, like there isn't a health bar in Halo 2.

i prefer no health bar, at least in multiplayer b/c i would rather focus on chucking grenades, dual weilding the awesome power of the SMGs, spawning on Midship w/ a PR or getting owned by a sword instead of picking up health packs.
