Vehicle health bar???

Hey i think since 343 isn’t budging on the new vehicle health system should they put a health bar for people too know when too bail. i think it would be nice.

Interesting…!

I personally could care less as long as it doesn’t affect the gameplay, and by this I mean where the health bar doesn’t take up a decent part of my screen, If it makes it into the game I wont mind, if it doesn’t, I also wont mind.

I wouldn’t mind having one, but id say when your warthog is spewing smoke/fire, thats probably a good time to bail…:wink:

I’d say bring back the first person warthog driving, and make the windshield look something like smart scope; So it has the vehicle’s condition, speed, etc.

Wouldn’t mind the little vehicle health bars CE had making a return.

no

The vehicle does have a health system. Once it’s on fire it’s time to -Yoink-

I don’t see why there shouldn’t be.

What? When the hell was it first person?

Maybe squirrel is thinking of the first person view from the passenger seat in Halo CE. The driver seat has never had first person in Halo, unless it was on one of the pc versions which I didn’t play.

Yea, I didn’t play the PC versions either. Although, they could still bring in the ‘smart scope’ part, and still keep 3rd person, but I don’t count on it.

Due to the visual indicators of fire = critically damaged and missing armour = damaged… I don’t need this health bar the way I need my Spartan’s health bar to make split moment decisions.

It should be like H2, where if your Warthog was spewing fire and your health was 100%, you were fine.

It’s not necessary, the current damage to the vehicle should be enough for any player to distinguish when to bail. It’s still an unknown factor to Halo that I love, pushing the limits without knowing when to make that split-second decision. Having a vehicle health bars detracts from it.

Sort of yes. In Halo CE only specific vehicles had health attached to them. It would make sense to apply vehicle health to the power vehicles (Tanks, Gauss Hog, Banshee, Falcon) and not have it for the weaker ones (Regular Warthog, Mongoose, Ghost). A single sniper should not dominate all of BTB, you should have to be good with the thing to pick people out of vehicles.

I think its fine. Not being able to see the health is a good tool.

I would be a nice little feature but i personally don’t really mind if they don’t add it. :slight_smile:

I wouldnt mind this. I’m so used to it not having one, it wouldnt bother me either way. Nice idea though : )

There’s already a way to see your vehicles heath, just look at it. White smoke is bad, black smoke is really bad and if it’s on fire get the heck out.
I don’t think there should be heath bar, the game shouldn’t have to hold your hand that much.
