The returning features of energy shielding and health bar are different from their predecessors. In ''Halo: Combat Evolved'' and ''Halo 3: ODST'', the health bar remains still when taking damage. In ''Halo: Reach'', it features sustainable damage in addition to the standard energy shield regeneration. When a player takes damage after the shield is down, the health bar would be reduced, but after a brief amount of time during shield regeneration, the health bar would also increase. The upper limit of regeneration depends on how much damage the player has taken as it would be split into 33%, 66%, or 100% health. Should the player take damage down to 50% health, for example, the player would only be able to recover up to 66% of health when the shield is regenerating. Any damage taken would recover depending on the remaining health. For full recovery, the player would need to take a [[health pack]] or use the Drop Shield armor ability. | The returning features of energy shielding and health bar are different from their predecessors.

The weapon selection has been streamlined from that of ''Halo 3'', so that every weapon has a specific role. The number of different grenade types has also been reduced from that of ''Halo 3'', and [[Orgudam Workshop firebomb|incendiary grenades]] and [[Type-2 Antipersonnel Fragmentation Grenade|spike grenades]] did not return. Human weapons all hit more or less instantly after pulling the trigger, as opposed to the projectiles being affected by in-game physics. There is no longer dual-wielding available in ''Halo: Reach'', following the same path as ''Halo 3: ODST''. Compensating for this, the weapons that were known as dual weapons in ''Halo 3'' that are now in ''Halo: Reach'' became drastically stronger. The M6G Magnum, for example, is now almost as powerful as the M6D Pistol in ''Halo: CE'', and has an even higher rate of fire. | The weapon selection has been streamlined from that of ''Halo 3'', so that every weapon has a specific role.

Players are able to personalize their character's armor with a greater variety of customization options, and the appearance is consistent across campaign and multiplayer, unlike in ''Halo 3'' where it would only be seen during multiplayer matches. Like in ''Halo 3'', the armor permutations are only to be cosmetic and do not affect gameplay. The design of multiplayer models in ''Halo: Reach'' differs than those previously used in ''Halo 3''; players are limited to a SPARTAN multiplayer model but given the option of changing their character's gender. Players are given the option to play as an Elite multiplayer model, though only in specific gametypes such as Firefight Versus, Invasion and other Elite-specific gametypes. Both multiplayer models have different gameplay properties; the Elite multiplayer model is physically superior, has a fully recharging health and faster shield regeneration than their SPARTAN counterpart. Overall, their only disadvantage is their massive size which makes them slower and much more noticeable targets. | Players are able to personalize their character's armor with a greater variety of customization options, and the appearance is consistent across campaign and multiplayer, unlike in ''Halo 3'' where it would only be seen during multiplayer matches.
