At least regarding single player, health packs are a much more challenging implementation than Wolverine heal. Both are unrealistic nonetheless.

MoH:AA back in 2002, i remember having to carefully go my way with <20% of HP until i found a heaven-sent health pack which would then let me be careless again

Any regen health game kills that challenge by simply staying out of bullets' reach long enough to be good as new.
