I don't really think health packs are gonna make this game more "exciting" for me. Sure, they'll make you think twice, before you use the health packs, and give camping snipers more trouble, but I doubt it's any better than Health Regeneration. And the more restrictions you add to this system, the less people will care about replenishing, or using health packs.
I myself, would rather respawn, than waste time, looking for "enemy area", "friendly area" or "pack restorative points", which some of you have spoken about. Basing on my experience in Legions, I'd say that, Health Regeneration has been a trusty friend at one time, and an arch enemy at another. Because, the only way you're able to heal, is to stay on the ground, with the jets turned off. Not only, has this created a height advantage against the one healing(using the present system), but also makes him vulnerable to lose more health than gain. You 'right click' even once, and your armor healing will stop, and the timer resets. As I said, it's neither a true friend, nor a true foe, and I think, it's fine the way it is. Also, it's not spammable, nor it alone had given any player position, a notable advantage. The pace at which the health regenerates, and the time it takes to initiate the health regeneration(doubtful), have already been nerfed to the minimum. Health Regeneration has also been unique to the game, and It would be sad to see it removed. So, if you really want to replace it, I'd suggest you do that with something which is significantly effective, than Health Regeneration system, unlike the health packs.
I know people are trying to eradicate some annoyances in the game, but this path is not the right one. Not only that, but the word "health pack", just seems lame and old. It seems to me, people just want to have the various aspects of other games, especially Tribes(no offense), to be in this one, now that the IA community heads control it. It's like, a mad scientist wants to create a hybrid of various animals, but instead creates an abomination. To think that I have once believed that, Legions was going to approach a new direction in the gaming franchise, how naive of me.
P.S. Whatever I wrote above, is just my opinion, my 2 cents.
