Lower health bar

Games Halo Infinite

This game has potential but the health bar is the most frustrating thing I’ve ever witnessed in a halo game.

All that happens when that main shield disappears is the person sprints off, you then chase knowing you’re about to have a nade in your face, and even though you’ve put 2 rounds of BR into their back they’re still going, I don’t know if that’s existed in other halo games but it seems strangely OP to me.

Once that main shield is gone it should be a 3 bullet kill to chest, 1 bullet head etc…

I really don’t understand why it was added, nobody asked for it, nobody wanted it, so why add it?

In my opinion it has been added, last Halo game I played was Halo 4 and it wasn’t this strong.

Halo has always had a player health bar beyond the shield meter. Many games hid that information, this one doesnt.

Not true, when your shield ran out in any halo game including halo 4 and earlier, if you were hit with 1-2 bullets depending on pistol vs rifle you were gone. This game gives you almost half shields once your main shield is gone, only that half shield completely disappears if you get head shotted and lasts forever if you’re hit with body shots.

It’s a stupid way to make bad players live longer, if you have a high ping it makes it almost impossible to finish players as your shots barely register anyway.

Also in halo 3 it was 1 bullet anywhere and you were gone.

This comment makes it seem like you just don’t want to have to hit headshots in order to get optimal kill times.

No I just don’t get why they’re trying to reinvent the wheel when it wasn’t broken.

Shields and then health bar are quintessential Halo.

Pop the shields… and then finishing off with a headshot vs multiple body shots provides a skill gap.

Or they could have just left it as it was with the 4 headshots getting the kill.

I’m completely cool with hitting headshots to get the optimal kill, but i’m not cool with having to hit 6 perfect shots to take out one dude, then if there’s a second I have to reload mid fight. 4 was the right amount and I don’t know why it’s been changed.

Are we talking about the same game? XD

The BR can still 4 shot…

Edit: I think I see the issue… You don’t understand the weapon balancing. Yea, so, the Pistol is not a BR.

Yeah I’m really confused on what he’s talking about. I guess the fact that the BR doesn’t 4 shot with only body shots?

If it’s still possible then it’s far more difficult than I’ve ever noticed

3 bursts to the body breaks the shield. Any bullet from the next burst hitting the head will result in a kill. 4 burst kill.

First of all, games shouldn’t be balanced around players having crappy ping.

Also in halo 3 it was 1 bullet anywhere and you were gone.

Been a long time since I played Halo 3, but I’m pretty sure this isn’t true. In fact I just looked it up and you’re absolutely 100% wrong about the TTK in Halo 3. It takes multiple body shots to kill someone after their shields are gone.

I really don’t understand why it was added, nobody asked for it, nobody wanted it, so why add it?

This wasn’t “added” for Halo Infinite. There’s always been shields and health since Halo 1.

…what’re you talking about? you get 1 shield. the ‘second shield’ you’re talking about is the health bar, the thing CE and Reach had, which is what Infinite is going back to, somewhat anyways. it’s been apart of halo in everygame, just in 2, 3, and 4, it wasn’t shown and the health was a lot lower

16

this is what I mean, I like lower health, I guess nobody else does though lol

17

Lower health just means you’re allowed to be less accurate. Be accurate and everything is fine. Best of luck.

18

to be fair, in every halo game, it didn’t really make a difference. even in infinite. either spray down the remaining health, or 1 shot the head. high health or not, a shot to the head is a dead spartan

19

Health is 100% increased in Infinite, if it wasn’t unusually difficult to get the kill after their shields are gone then I wouldn’t have posted it here. Sounds like you all like the secondary shield or “health” but I don’t, it’s pointless in my opinion and just seems to me like it’s too much

Oh wow.

Yes, you can still 4 shot with the BR. I get those… all the time.

Okay, okay. Look. This “Second shield bar” - you know, your health? Has been in EVERY game. But in SOME games, it simply wasn’t given a visual indicator. I like having one.
The visual indicator is the literal only difference.
