Health packs COST $$. If you spam them, you can quickly run up the cost of a new res tower, and HMG, HA, etc.
1) Health packs don't make you invincible. I dropped about 20 on a stationary marine to check this out and he got killed by a skulk (4 of the packs were used).
2) If one LMG marine can kill 5 fades and stay alive, healthpakcs aren't your biggest problem. No matter how many packs are dropped he *will* die once his armor is depleted because your hits will be landing quicker then he can heal.
3) They cost resources, they disappear after 30 sec and there is a hotkey for it. How could it be an exploit?
omg this is SO an exploit! total healing hax! the commander is a wuss for using it. Health packs are inbalanced already, but SPAMMING them is OUTRAGEOUS. I boycott NS until this is changed!
