          I think it was a bad game to begin with, but I found the epic scenario you described in MOH: Airborne to occur far to often and to be more frustrating than fun. Over the course of the level, I'd have to back off more and more as I took damage to the point where I was crawling forward, checking my scope, inching forward some more, shoot one nazi, then repeat. The pace of the game slowed to an unacceptable level and I got bored.
          
          In CoD4, if I do stupid stuff, I die quickly and it reloads. If I do something dumb, but recover fast enough I can adjust and live through it. It never slows down, I never have to spend time searching for health packs, and all my controller buttons can focus on guns and cool stuff.
          
          I think both systems can be done really well. Half Life 1/2 are some of my favorite games, every time I pick them up. But, Valve has excellent level designers and the health stuff isn't an issue unless you just suck.
