So I recently played Borderlands 2, because people were comparing that to the possibility on how Destiny will be kind of like...AND I HATED THAT GAME! For one reason, the god damn health system.
In Halo, you can land a good headshot and your mighty Ultra Elite would be dead with ONE bullet from a sniper (most likely 2 or 3 in higher difficulties lol). But in BL2 we get RPG type healthbars, without a realistic fighting system. I hate to have to shoot something hundreds and hundreds of times and something doesn't die, or stealth attack something and he isn't a point from death.
I really hope Bungie decides to have Destiny retain the health system from either ODST or Reach to be quite honest. Some sort of armor system on top of a health bar, with the added danger of dying as fast as YOU could kill an enemy (like Halo REACH), but not as fast as CoD (instadeath). It would be awesome to get to the end of a mission with a view health points remaining...and then you have to get back to your ship alive, instead of having regen health CoD style.
EDIT: I guess I want the mechanics to be a mix of Fallout and Halo.

Edited by iGraviton: 4/3/2013 1:56:59 PMRegenerating health is something that I don't think would fit in Destiny, so I don't think you'll have to worry about that. It'll most likely be regenerating shields, and health that can only be restored by a health-pack or a teammates healing skill. PS. That health bar in the OP is pretty damn cool.
