: Just doesn't make sense on both a multiplayer and chronological side of
: things. If it was truly a unique classic "Halo" element why was
: it excluded in 4 after Reach reinserted the system? Being honest the
: health system was a bit annoying and I was glad I didn't have to worry
: about it anymore when 4 ditched it for 2 and 3's system.

: And on the chronological level, were supposed to be in [GEN 2] MJOLNIR armor
: the last time this system was used was with Mk. 5 armor what would be the
: reason why [GEN 2] would need a health bar system?

Health has been in every Halo. It just auto-gens to max in Halo 2 and 3 after you've been out of combat.
