Funny you mention a Halo game since you could pretty much blame that series for introducing regen health and no health bars down the line.silver wolf009 said:

Another funny thing is that Halo both started and ended their main franchise with healthbars, but killed them in the middle. How odd.Nomanslander said:
I have no issue with regenerating health. Makes it easier in certain situations and harder in others. I'm cool with that.
It doesn't make that much of a difference to me. I'm capable of adapting to suit the game. ^_^
(And by that, I mean I'm liable to ignore my health regardless of how it's presented to me.)

Well you have to look at it this way, I asume your mainly talking about the good ol' FPS genre and it's new fangled bloody screen thingy. Well, they started to impliment those because it streamlined the game, because back with health bars, if you got royally screwed in a firefight and by the end you had 15-10% of health, you'd have to back track to the last health kit, so I kinda miss health bars, but I don't miss the back tracking for health.
Not really. The problem I have with regenerating health is how it's almost always done the same way. You take damage, get behind a crate, and five seconds later have full health. I'd prefer something more along the lines of Marvel vs Capcom. You take damage, take cover and recover a portion of it back. Maybe with a very slow recovery afterwards. Like 1 percent every 10 seconds.
I've also heard that some games give you health back for being active. I think it was the new Duke Nukem. So, if you take damage, you gain back health from killing enemies. It's not realistic, but it keeps the game from turning into a bunch of people sitting behind crates waiting to recover.
