FPS: High or Low Time to Kill (TTK)?

[Zkuq]

Depends. As a general rule, fast-paced games should have high TTK, slower games should have low TTK. It just doesn't feel right when you can run and jump around like crazy and then you die from a shot or two. And if gameplay is slow, it would feel pretty odd if you could take tons of damage. Of course rules have exceptions. Anyway, I like both faster and slower games so I can't really give only one answer.
