HEALTH REGENERATION IN MULTIPLAYER?

[LUKENBACHER]

This is one of the hottest topics in our community, so I thought it would be a nice "ice breaker" for the SocomIV.com Forums.


What are your thoughts Community? We could see 3 different options here!


1.) Health Regeneration makes it to Socom 4 Multiplayer across the board. In unranked & ranked. You can't play "Socom" without.

2.) Health Regeneration will ONLY be in UNRANKED rooms & single player. It will be viewed much like unranked respawn.

3.) No Health Regeneration will be in multiplayer, period.
That's strictly for the offline "cinematic" experience.



If you had to pick one, which one would you pick???

Post your answers below!

Update: I added a poll to this thread, then realized the whole 1. 2. 3. postings in the OP might get confused with the poll itself.

I have created a different thread to host the official HEALTH REGENERATION poll. The link is provided below:

Here are my personal thoughts on the topic.....

Its hard to tell, remember when they said SOCOM 4 has cover system? Then everyone went into an uproar and they came out and confirmed that it will be in MP. Well with health regen we saw health regen and there was an uproar but Zipper has pretty much not talked about it.

I think these guys are literally looking into all the MP stuff and trying to see what is the best direction to go, that's why we probably haven't heard anything sold on the topic.

Hopefully it won't be in, and if it is. I hope its implimented in a different way than what other games have.

I could "stomach" having Health Regeneration in UNRANKED ROOMS only.

To keep our online numbers up with the casuals who buy the game.


But for the love of God, NOT IN RANKED ROOMS! That's pretty much a "deal breaker" for me.

#3 is what should happen

#2 is tolerable

#1 is a deal breaker

[BULLBOYKENNELS]

#2 I could deal with, but #3 would be the way to go for sure, #1 then that clearly states who they are catering to which is not the main fan base but more so the casuals.

I'm strongly going with "No Health Generation in MP, PERIOD".

yea i totally concur. 3 is what i want, 2 i can live with but 1 i want no part of.

I have already relinquished the fact that the Socom fans aren't going to get the Socom experience in Socom 4's MP. I am tired of hoping for something, just to be let down like I have been for the past 3 Socoms. So I expect the cover and health regen in this Socom. Will it be fun? Probably. But will it be as fun as past Socoms? Probably not.

People always ask what the core of socom is. But i think that is a moot point.

I think it comes down to what it will take to make Socom that addictive mess, that So-Crack, that brain candy that we can not live without. And I don't think Socom 4 will give us that.

To me, what will make Socom 4 as addictive as past Socoms.
-UCRRs.
-Full character Customizations per map or AOE(not just changing camoes for AOE like S:C either)
-11 rounds, no Side switching.
-No health regen.
-Armor and Sprint can stay as long as it is all balanced and sprint is unlimited. Speeds need to be kept up. No more turtle walking.
-Weapons, weapons and more weapons.
-No bonus accuracy for ADS. No one hip fires an assault rifle.
-Maps maps and more maps(preferably designed around one mode)
-Gotta have those lobbies
-No trophies,
-No specializations,
-No unlockable weapons.
-No hidden weapons for clan members only.
-No Cover system with 360 degree viewing.

Out of the options I would choose #3. I wouldn't mind seeing health thresholds where depending on how bad you're damaged, your health would regenerate to a certain point based on the percentage of health you have remaining. I definitely do not want to see full-blown health regeneration in the multiplayer, but it wouldn't stop me from buying it.

[bigfred18]

I would prefer #3 but if they have to keep the casuals happy then #2.

i agree with this.

[quickndeadly]

#3 is the Socom way, if they go in any other direction for multiplayer then they have changed the game of Socom completely. I really hope HR is left to single player only.

If it's in Multi Player I can see alot of fans jumping ship. My problem being is many folks in my clan have stated if HG is in Multi they may not buy it, but everyone always says this and they see 10 people on when they are all by themselves playing BC2 they may reconsider, happened with COD MW2.

[xxdarknessxx]

i can live with 2 as long as its just for repsawns...3 is what i want

[[TNU] chiamira]

Definately 3 is the only way to go, ......... I guess that 2 would be ok if we had to

[[LMB] Knightjet]

I can only take it being in unranked rooms, and even then I want the option to turn it off.

I'm still hoping for no health regen at all though

[ELEMENT101]

Maybe offline but not online bc man i like the health bar I mean yea it sucks when you get shot and your in the red but its atleast more realistic then health regeneration..

[mac4life2]

Number 3 sir. I HATE IT! This series is becoming other GAMES, not SOCOM! Since when did SOCOM Navy SEALS players can re-heal themselves in combat?! NO WAY JOSE! They put it in multiplayer I will be cursing all day and night about it. I want it OUT! I play SOCOM because if you die, you die from a good gun fight. NOT I WILL HUNT YOU DOWN EVERY ROUND TO KILL YOU WHILE YOU HIDING IN COVER! Jeez...

[WarMachine_v1]

Keep regen out of MP. This will annoy me if in MP... also the blood splatter needs to go... like I said, CHEESEY!
