your thoughts on recharging health?

in any game?

i hate the idea. especially in halo.

i mean first of all if you encounter an emeny running around the corner you might get a couple of shots off on him. However you basically just wasted ammo. he is going to recharge

if there was no recharging health. your enemy would have to go and pickup a health pack and your first shots would have counted.

just my thoughts

what are yours?

I get annoyed playing a game where my health is extremely low and the weakest of enemies could kill me.

I hate it.

But I don't really bother complaining about it, nearly every game has it now.

In some games, such as Halo and Crysis I could understand, cause you could say the suit regenerates health. How can you explain Rainbow Six Vegas or Call of Duty?

agreed it is unrealistic but it makes the games less frustrating......i recently got MOH Airborne and man i have to find a health pack if someone shoots me 2 bullets...its annoying

Recharging health horrible, recharging shield is fine. I've readin a bunch of magazines talking about how Halo CErevolutionized the gaming world with the recharging health, but they didn't. There was a health bar, and a shield bar, and the shield would recharge and not the health. I totally agree with the poster. I hate getting into a battle with someone and they run off and recharge, then its like nothing ever happened. I halo CE you might not die after being in a battle, but you were more than likely weakened, so if you got into another battle with someone, they would have an advantage, and you would have to show your true skill as a player, rather than let your shield recharge and start off fresh again. The health in CE was very strategic to, there wasn't much, and if you picked it up, you were vulnerable for a little bit. Personally I think thats an awesome idea, they had it right with a lot of ideas, and now they are running in the wrong direction.dimebag667

The health system in CE was the best, I'm a sad panda to see it get changed :(

Recharging health + checkpoints >>>> quicksaves.

The old institution of quicksaving pretty much took all challenge out of the game and replaced it with tedium.

It makes sense in Halo as it has the sheild in all but in CoD and Gears come on man. People just don't heal like Wolverine.Blackbond

People also don't instaheal from bullet wounds by running across a first aid kit.

Depends. Recharging health changes the pacing of online competitive play quite a bit. So much so that the entire COD community almost hunted down Infinity Ward after COD2 was released on the PC.Vandalvideo

argh wheres that infinity ward :cry: ... still hunting. cod1 was teh best

I think Far Cry 2 has the best heal system.

this gives halo the sense of speed that is addicting. At first it is frusterating but halo makes itself 'feel' fast paced despite being shown at 30 fps and having elements of a tactical shooter
