Re: I've got the answers...

In Response To: Re: I've got the answers... (notthevacuum)


: You raise an interesting point about inconsistent deaths with bleed-through,
: but I saw that more in Reach, where the health system was demonstrably
: unclear, even with an indicator (flat out broken, I'd say - the meter
: could be full and yet you would die like it was empty). Nak3d Eli did a
: couple of videos about it early on.

: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uhnk52vTyu4

: I believe later discoveries seemed to indicate that health packs didn't
: regenerate health in reality, just visually (the meter). The TU only made
: the problem more obvious, as it disabled the "pop". Perhaps some
: of the oddities experienced are due to that.

You might consider this splitting hairs, but that's a bug, whereas the way shields and health acted in Halo 3 was intentional (a feature, if you will).
BTW DEEP NNN did testing on that (IIRC), he could tell you what the deal with that was

: At the end of the day, I guess it does matter how much health you have if
: bleed through is on. If health is low, one shot could take you from
: partial shield to dead. You might survive it if you had more health.
: Seeing as that could influence a decision, I have to admit it would be
: helpful (and even important) to know how much health you have, and a meter
: is the obvious way to display that.

cool... now where were you when 343i was laying down the mechanics for Halo 4? (o_o')

You cannot fall off the floor.
