Shield/Health Bar in Beta

Games Halo 5: Guardians
1

One of the things which has changed in halo 5 is the shield bar.
For a start it now shows you around the edge how far away from recharging it is, which is a nice touch.

Secondly it shows you your health. Now this isn’t Halo: Reach Health where you need a health pack (it recovers fully), but it does show you that if your health is depleted when your shields are popped, that they are not recharged instantly.

Hopefully in customs you could also change these, so as well as health and shield %, you could set how quickly they recharge.

Thoughts?

It’s a good change. I think Halo 2 and 3 also had regenerating health; it was just invisible.

3

This is a very welcomed change which I wish happened sooner. Now all we have ask for is the ability to change the HUD colour since the halo 4 blue still looks ‘meh’

4

Customising the visor colour would also be interesting. It might have to be a limited list so it isn’t impacted by the environments and is still visible

5

I like the HUD. Just the shield/health bar needs to be bigger.

6

It’s something I’ve been wanting for most of the Halo games, as the player health still existed in H2-H4, just that they were invisible so it was a guess of how many body shots you could take. Now I just hope vehicles will have some kind of health display as well.

It’s gonna be nice to have all this information on hand. 343 have seem to have done a bang up job on improving halo’s health indication.

Me gusta.

Yea the HUD is overall very clean, although I am still not 100% convinced with the triangles on the radar to indicate above or below.

Vehicle health would also be useful, although the visible damage is an indicator i guess

I think the sound of the recharging shield is terrible. The old one was a sweet Bleeeeep and now, it’s some cluncky Bip brip crip

I don’t want to sound like Bill Cosby but The new shield sound is disgusting.

At least I know when I am about to die now.
