SkItZo1041 Posted September 13, 2012 Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 Why won't there be a health bar under the shields in Halo 4? :/ I thought that was a great feature! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SykoWolf Posted September 14, 2012 Report Share Posted September 14, 2012 I guess it's because of the games canon. It would be hard to put a SPartans actual health into bars and on their screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoctorB77 Posted September 14, 2012 Report Share Posted September 14, 2012 I think the health bar was unecessary. All was is a reason to get health packs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CandiBunni Posted September 14, 2012 Report Share Posted September 14, 2012 The health bar was removed because you no longer need to worry about what levels your health is at. The shield and health system is back to the style that was used in Halo 2 and Halo 3, where you had a regenerating shield and regenerating health after that. After your shield recharges then your health will start to recharge to the fullest, so there isn't very much use in having a health bar below that.

I agree the only reason there is a health bar is to find health packs. Plus he is a doctor so he knows about health. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iTz Vplus2 Posted September 14, 2012 Report Share Posted September 14, 2012 Well, in my opinion health bars slowed down the game too much. You got in 1 little gunfight and your health got scared, it said get a health pack or i don't want to repair. Seriously though, everytime you got in a gunfight and barely survived, you had to run for a health pack or face a slight disadvantage. So i won't miss the health packs.

Tallgeese Posted September 14, 2012 Report Share Posted September 14, 2012 Health was not in Halo 2 and Halo 3, so it makes sense there is no health in Halo 4. It made sense for ODST, but not for the spartans in Halo 2/3. I think it was a pain in Halo Reach and slowed the pace of the game...but thats just my opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooliest Posted September 14, 2012 Report Share Posted September 14, 2012 I understand the point of it. It somewhat creates more tactical gameplay. And in a real life situation(yes, Halo is real life) you would have to break through someones shield before you could do any damage. But I would rather just have shields it speeds up gameplay. Plus players aren't searching while they should be fighting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that's supposed to be intimidating. How intimidating is it when they have such a low chance to survive without their shields? Oh look, a powerful, mighty Spartan. He'll kill them. But don't drop his shields, otherwise he's forked Lol, i'm sure you get my point here. But meh, whatever, i still prefer the shields only system xD 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha xD Lol, the best reference i can think of for that is Kat. She got taken down with one shot by some tiny little jackal as soon as her shields were down. And i found that pretty weak, to be honest. xD 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(besides the fact that it was Kat haha.) I couldn't believe that it wasn't even a snipe. It was just a needle. What if that was the strength of the master chief in Halo 4. One needle to the head and we died. Haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkItZo1041 Posted October 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2012 I just liked two things about it. One was the fact that if you were in a DMR fight with someone and they weren't the greatest with headshots, you knew how many more shots you could take before actually dying, being the difference between life and death (this happens to me alllllll the time, as I often get shot from behind and have to turn around and make up for lost time). Second being for specifically SWAT, when someone decides to either camp in a small spot or run at you instead of shooting you, if you don't have time to take the headshot, you could at least get a pummel in so they're only a two shot kill later on. Yea, regenerating health and shields makes it easier for sprees and more multi-kills and such (well, easier gameplay in general) but it also adds a certain challenge to the game. Same with bloom, plenty of people saying it should be gone, but it's wayyyyyy too easy to get kills without it. This is only my opinion, of course. But everyone's entitled to their own and I certainly see why a lot of people don't like the health bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoctorB77 Posted October 8, 2012 Report Share Posted October 8, 2012 Spartans never get injured, their shields just need to recharge :wallbash: Well in Halo 4 multiplayer you do not die at all. It is a simulation so health is uncessary. Then again there is blood in multiplayer :/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

killerdude1635 Posted October 8, 2012 Report Share Posted October 8, 2012 I kinda liked the health bar, it made the gaming experience a little bit deeper with its inclusion, I can't say I wont be sad to see it go... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
