Re: Uh, what's with the vehicles?

In Response To: Re: Uh, what's with the vehicles? (NsU Soldier)


: And yet he has the same indication of damage (smoke and broken parts) for
: like, plasma rounds 20-100. There was no difference in any visual cues
: that would make people think, "gee I should ditch this RIGHT
: NOW".

: Besides my main question wasn't so much "why did he die?" My
: question was, " why no vehicle health indicator? " The stages of
: smoking, broken parts, etc. are just too vague.

: Also why have a Hull Integrity meter for the Sabre then? Couldn't it just
: have smoked and sparked too? Why is it appropriate for one vehicle and
: your player to have a health meter and the rest of the vehicles to be left
: out in the cold? This is just going to lead to frustrating WTF moments
: when you are taken out by small arms fire.

: Ugh, this is coming off kind of harshly. Look, you guys at Bungie rock and I
: love Halo. However, I'm very passionate about Halo's usually stellar
: vehicle combat and this whole situation is upsetting.

The Sabre is single player only. There are no multiplayer considerations to take into account. In the video, the player's shields are impacted no less than seven times by enemy fire. He's in the thick of it for more than two minutes. No, there is no meter to tell him he needs to start thinking about his vehicles integrity (unless you count common sense, the electricity rippling over the hull, and the black smoke roiling out from beneath the hood). And yes, you'll have to learn the limits of each vehicle and be a bit more careful choosing which encounters you carelessly speed into in Reach. Vehicles aren't as fragile as they were in the beta, but they're not the guaranteed +25 they often were in Halo 3, either.
