Life bar vs. health regen.

Post by ctrooper »

Well I dont think this question has been asked so... Which would fit BF3 better? Is the health bar outdated? Would the health regen. ruin the old charm and gameplay? I personally chose the health bar. Even though it feels a bit old, I think its best for BFs style of play.
Is that an ancient tibetan dagger in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?

I do find kind of odd when standing near a medical droid and healing you. Regeneration sounds good but I would rather have health packs.

Life bars all the way!

It's almost necessary if you want the medic class to remain useful. You can have wounded soldiers which the medic can heal, or have medics heal faster.

That system doesn't seem right for Battlefield though.

I'm going to have to go with health bars. It feels more classic/arcadey, which is what Battlefront pretty much is.

I can't recall from the top of my head, but do there even exist any SW games that use COD style health?

I think that health regenerations have been implemented for convenience in FPS to stop players from backtracking all over levels looking for unused health packs.

Health packs that re-spawn like in Halo?

I think I'd prefer a regular heath bar, but some sort of regeneration added to it might be cool too. I think it would work pretty well either way though.

I think their should be field medics on each team to fix up the troops.

I vote for life bar.

And the medic is called Engineer or Pilot, depending on whether or not you're playing 1 or 2.
