I have heard rumors of bleed through damage for Halo 4. Without a noticeable health bar what exactly is the damage bleeding through to? Thanks 
you heard wrong

Health will still be in the game. It was in Halo 2 and 3 but there was no health segments to keep track of.
For example, say you have low shields and someone melees you. You will die as the damages bleeds through to your invisible health. It’s why you take damage and survive a second or so after shields after dropped.
Reach had this system where no matter what your shield strength was, melees would not bleed through nor would any other weapon (sans the Sniper, which had bleed through)
I believe Walshy and a few other pros who attended the Halo 4 event at E3 confirmed bleedthrough will be back.
all it means is that you can kill them without popping the shield. Like a sniper rifle in reach also took away some of your health even if it was a body shot.
Even though there is only a shield the game acts kind of like ODST were you had “stamina” after your shields went down (or health or whatever i dont remember anything from ODST)
Basically, you still have health under the shields. If you do enough damage to a target’s shields, your melee can take out the rest of the shields and all of your health. If you didn’t do enough, you’ll only pop their shields, but they’ll practically die if sneezed in their general direction.
That is what they meant by “bleedthrough”.
Oh! So its like Halo 2 and 3… Cause in Reach if u got hit by a warthog but didnt die u would lose significant health too… Gotcha I was pretty confused haha Thanks 
There is still health, just like in Halo 2 and 3. I think it should still show the healthbar though, and just not incorporate the healthpacks.
