Health System in Destiny

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.

  • Health bars will be implemented. 1. Stop comparing Destiny to Halo. Or any game. It won't be the same. Stop expecting to have a lot of similar elements. It will similar ideas, but I have a feeling they will be implemented differently 2. Even in Halo, all enemies have health bars. They just aren't shown. You still have a weapon with set amount of damage and you have to do a set amount of damage to kill the enemy. 3. It's the only health system that makes sense, since Destiny won't be played level to level and on a set difficulty. You will level up, get stronger, acquire new skills, find better guns, and it's simply easier to scale up a health bar towards level than set it to an area since you'll be roaming all over. I think the farther we move from Halo, the better. Not that Halo was bad, I love Halo. I just think that Bungie's trying to build a new and awesome universe, trying to show the world that they have more to offer than just Halo. People want to stick to Halo because its familiar and that's understandable. But in order for Destiny to flourish, we need to give it a chance to grow in it's OWN way. It's like comparing a younger brother to the older one. Yeah, the older brother is very talented and he's a great guy, but saying the younger one isn't going to amount to anything if he isn't like his older one is completely ridiculous. Lets see what this younger one come out to be before we start labeling and criticizing it. Give Destiny a chance. It may surprise you. See you guys starside.
