milkman, i have come to the conclusion that you're on the wrong wiki for the wrong franchise.

even if going by intent, "medi-gel" never really went away. microdoses of medi-gel MEANS regenerating health in ME2. big discrete doses is for the downed squaddies. handwave with gameplay mechanic change, sure. the "oversimplification" is only apparent if you're one of those pansy-ass campers from far too many shooters to date content on gunning + ducking in predictable patterns and locations. melee-oriented folks or just people who like some variety still have to employ "tactics" and "be conservative in combat" in the form of anticipating proper regen spots. get in real close, then gtfo asap because last i checked shepard has no beaky hood and most enemies prefer guns as well. not to mention ME2 controls are still clumsy. less than ME's, but still.
