The issue I have with health pack hunting is that it disrupts the flow of play. Your health gets low, so you have to then hunt the board to get health packs. Halo and Call of Duty are likely both responsible for this change. And the sales seem to show this is preferred.
Anyhow, I do believe there is a place for everything. Like Left 4 Dead benefits from having health packs you use. It works real well. Other games, where you have shields, are different. I believe Uncharted was better because it had regeneration of health, rather than health packs.
