Auto Health regeneration in every single FPS since HALO.

What's worst is that they just don't do it as well as Halo. I could dig in Halo that it was my shield regenerating, but when it ran out I took real damage. Felt like I was a Protoss.

All the imitators just give you a health bar (or worse, some red frame on the screen) that just magically goes back to perfect condition if you take cover for three seconds. That and the goal-indicator with distance measure and the ONLY TWO WEAPONS AT A TIME convention has been ruining shooters for me for years now.

Exactly. An other game that in my opinion does this well is Deus EX Human Revolution, but all the others are trash.
