Regenerating Health In BC2

[MR DICE]

I thought that it was only 1943 that was going to have regenerating health in it, but from this interview, it looks like it will be bad company 2 aswell, this could make a good game into a very very bad game IMO

Quote ''As a result, Bad Company 2's health system is now identical to the one in CoD.''

Re: Regenerating Health In BC2

I don't mind. I hated having to run for 10 minutes to get health only to get shot 2cm away from it.

IMO, it'll make each firefight more equal and fun. Obviously it'll take 20 seconds or so for health to go back up, so they won't be at full health 1 second after you shoot them!

Re: Regenerating Health In BC2

I think (and I'm hoping) that this health system is only for singleplayer in BC2. Multiplayer should be as it was in the original BC with a health system and the only way to heal quickly is with auto injector or med pack from support. Though I guess we'll find out at E3 since DICE mentioned they would reveal more about BC2 multiplayer.

At least, that's the impression I got from the article. I can't imagine that they would change it so drastically from the first BC. If so, then multiplayer in BC2 will be very different and IMO, for the worse.

I do hope they reconsider, at least for PC version. BC1 didn't even have regen.

Re: Regenerating Health In BC2

I approve.

As long as it's a slow regen, I really don't mind. It works great in CoD and Crysis, and I have no doubt it will work great in BC2 either. Of course an eventual medic class will change a bit, but if there's anything I absolutely hate in BF it's being alone somewhere, get bodyshot by a sniper and any tiny drop from a rock could kill you, until you get to the medic on the other side of that big mountain X(

Health regen is only an improvement in my opinion.

I think its a bad thing, and i hate COD for that very thing.
Obviously your health is not going to be full within secs of been shot, ( I HOPE NOT ANYWAY ) but even so, its going to take away the fun from battles,if you have a sniper rifle and you shoot another sniper and then he ducks in behind a rock or wall, then he is just going to stay there untill is health is 100%, instead of him having to break cover and run off down the road with you taking pot shots at him and watching him bunny hop all the way to cover.

But instead of that its just going to be 1 body shot and 20-30 secs of hiding.
Pop up again, get a body shot and another 20-30 secs of hiding.
Pop up again, get a body shot and another 20-30 secs of hiding

It's going to be particularly annoying hitting someone as sniper and having them just hide behind a rock to gain full health.

Or for any class to be honest.

Re: Regenerating Health In BC2

There is no perfect system. Health packs/medics have pros and cons, as does regenerating health. But it shouldn't be written off until we see how it actually works in game. As others have mentioned, it might not be everyone's preferred choice, but for the most part it does work well in COD4/CODWW.

And, at least for PC, there's always the possibility that there could be server options (as in COD4/CODWW) to turn health regen off and/or make weapons more deadly.

Proof will be in the playing.

Hit him in the head?

Well stuff like that will obviously happen, but it's overall an improvement for me (if DICE does a good job with it that is)

And just a FYI, sniper rifles were a OHK to the chest as well in BC

Not all of them.

Re: Regenerating Health In BC2

I don't know about this. Finding a Medic to heal you was part of the fun too.

Amen to that

Anywho it was Bungie and Halo that started the regen crap, and it made sense.
The guy was from the future and had a SUIT on )
If they want to take anything from Infinity Ward it should be customizable weapons.. Thats all COD does " I wont say well, but fun...

Re: Regenerating Health In BC2

No thanks. I wont be playing the multiplayer if this is the case. The medic class instills teamwork, regenerating health destroys any remote sense of realism and immersion for me

Bunny hoppings pretty easy to beat, I don't see where you're coming from.
