Why were they removed in the first place?
What was wrong with Health Bars?
Yeah, I don’t know why they removed them in the first place
They’re superfluous.
No, they need to stay gone! It was a flawed system in Reach and was just unnecessary information on the screen.
Health packs are for whimps and outdated Mark V users. Get with times people, we already got the Mark VII for crying out loud. There’s even a canonical explanation why Mark VI users don’t use med packs anymore, it wouldn’t be natural transition from Halo 3 to Halo 4 anyways. All of sudden Chief needs med packs after two games that didn’t require them? lol no.
Want med packs? Go back to Reach, CE and ODST. I am sure plenty of those around.
I don’t Halo 4 HUD to turn into a mess like the one for BF 3. So much useless -Yoink- all on hud. Keep it simple silly. Keep it clean.
They’re redundant in a game like Halo 2,3 and 4 where health regenerates within a matter of seconds after the shields, there’s no reason to display them.
Nothing is wrong with health bars. The current shield system doesn’t punish you for making mistakes as long as you can get away with a sliver of shields. All you have to do is wait 5 seconds and you are as good as new. Non-regenerating health bars promote more tactical gameplay, as every battle puts a permanent wear on your character (until death).
Makes people have to earn their kills instead of getting an easy win due to that players previous encounters in the game.
The game will still have “health” if that’s what you’re asking. They had it in Halo 2,3 , it just wasn’t displayed. I mean when your shields went down in 2,3 you could still take a round or two. The chances are 4 will have a similar health system to 2,3

I’ve always liked having health bars. It seems strange to me that Halo 4 is doing away with them again. I don’t even need medpacks. It can work just like it presumably does, where your health recharges slowly over time. I just want to be able to see it and be better informed about what I’m capable of withstanding.
Thank God they’re gone. Good riddance. It is unnecessary and useless information on the screen, plus searching for health packs puts you at risk of death due to the fact that they don’t regenerate.
You have Reach for Health bars.
No. I would rather have Shields with invisible health that make bleedthrough consistent.
No and go away.
I don’t care either way. When my shields are down, I hide and wait for them to recharge. That was my tactic with and without a health bar.
I’m glad Health Bars are gone. Without them, it makes the game much more fluid and consistent.
<mark>Take this for example</mark>: Say in Reach you were in a DMR battle, you won the DMR battle but are down to 2 health bars. From that moment, your main priority was to get a health pack so you can stay on even ground for when you engage in another DMR battle.
This to me, slowed down gameplay and didn’t flow to well.
<mark>Now to Halo 4:</mark> Say you are in a BR battle, you won the BR battle, so after the battle you take a breather and wait for your shields to recharge. Shields recharge and you are right back in the game on an even playing field against opponents. No need to worry about how much health you have left, no need to worry about if a Health Pack is even available(if it respawned) and no need to worry about losing your next BR battle from low health.
I say that the no Health Bar status is a great choice.
it makes grenade’s op and give an unfair disatvantage’s for people on a kill streak. i don’t know why they readded them in reach
the 4th halo, halo 4 wont have them
Who hear is silly enough to think that Health Bars = Health packs and has seen a regenerating health Elite use one?
Please leave the health bar in. Health bars don’t mean health packs are required. Health bars mean I know how much health I have left to regenerate.
Health bars need to stay.
Health packs need to go.
Recharging health needs to return.

I honestly think Halo works fine without health bars. Halo 2 and 3 had no problems with it. Neither should Halo 4
