Who designed these forums?
But yes, it seems bleed through + health packs is broken. More than like it’s because the game was never designed to have bleed through so they just lazily designed the shield/health system.
Have you ever had this happen in matchmaking? I doubt it. The health pack glitch only occurs when you lost your health due to a melee, and when the final blow after picking up a health pack is also a melee. If you’ve picked up 10 health packs from losing your health from rockets, DMR, concussion, grenades, whatever, you will always be 3 shot + melee. Similarly, If you lost your health twice to melees (meaning you would now die from 1 DMR shot + a melee) you are in no way “weaker” to anything but a melee.
I have played a few hundred games of the TU and I have never had the health pack glitch occur. While it is a problem, to say that bleed through is a joke (especially when this glitch has nothing to do with bleed through; just a glitch that occured when the TU was implemented) just makes you look silly.
Thanks for playing.
This thread has some info on what actually is problematic with bleed through. If you’re going to complain at least know what you’re talking about instead of blindly bashing something just because you don’t like it. And regardless (while bleed through in itself’s pros outweigh it’s cons) there are options with less trade offs than removing bleed through as a whole.

Lol. However unusual of an analogy Reyaweks has made, it is true; the benefits of bleed through outweigh the cons, even on 100% melee and while the health pack glitch exists.
Bleed-through is awful, enough said.
This makes some sense, the other day I was on reflection with the gravity hammer, I had full health and shields and as I pummeled someone, they pummeled me and we both died. No grenades were on the ground, the guy didn’t have a shotgun, sword, or any one shot cqc weapon out, and yet 1 melee with full health and shields was lethal.
I would like to see a gametype with enhanced melee, that is where melee hits not including using the sword, hammer, just the usual hit with arm that is holding a pistol or some such, make that hit only do half the normal damage, so it’s no longer empty AR into shields and melee to kill, or melee to drain shields and melee again for the kill. C’mon, I’m sick and tired of people who just use a double melee to kill. Make it do half the normal damage so you actually have to USE your weapons to kill them. 4 melee hits to kill someone!
