Health Bar in Halo 2

[icallmedan]

Am I missing something, or is there no health bar in Halo 2. I see where teh shield bar is, but I don't see a health meter like in Halo. Is one in this game? Am I blind?

their isnt one at all after ur sheild is gone it only takes like a couple of bullets for u to go down
but the shield recharges alot faster than the old game soo its a trade off

no there is no health bar. you die if you get shot w/o shields on. it's from the mjolnir markVI suit. the shields recharge faster and last longer.

I don't like the idea of no health bar. Also, you're supposed to be this bad ass and yet it's too easy to die. So far, I'm not impressed. Adding dual weapon wielding and a few extra critters does not make for a good sequel.

I like the new system of the shield/health bar. The only place where i don't like it is in multiplayer sometimes, because you cant wound the player and then finish him off later - he'll be back to full health again.

Agreed... plus a head shot without shields on should be different to a limb shot

[Yuanji]

you don't die immedietly. once somebody's shields are down, it takes a good 5-7 shots in the body from a SMG to kill somebody as opposed to 1 headshot.

5-7 shots on a smg goes by in like half of a second....so its kind of dumb that way
