While taken out of the HUD since Halo 1, you still have an invisible health meter that recharges like your shields, but not as quickly. Not bull.
EDIT: Also, why didn't you just upload your pics to B.net rather than taking cam shots?
OK, I decided to try this out in the Forge.
I depleted player 2's health meter to where it was blinking red. Then, I let the health meter regenerate to maybe about 80% full. I then shot him with the sniper rifle right before the health meter got to 100%.
He did not die. I repeated this several times for good measure.
Now....compare that to what happened to me:
1) 100% full health meter + 1 shot from sniper = death
vs.
2) 80% full health meter + 1 shot from sniper rifle = still alive
There's no way that this invisible health meter replenishes with an 80% full health meter faster than a 100% full health meter.
My anger is valid
EDIT: :lol Forget every thing I just said. My roommate was dead on.
I took player 2 right to the brink of death (1 melee and 5 bullets from the assault rifle). I let his health regenerate to 100% and then shot him with the sniper rifle, and it killed him.
Damn this game! :lol
