Description:
===============
Would you rather play Fallout 3 as an FPS than an RPG? Or just think the vanilla health system is annoying?
Then this is the mod for YOU!
"Health Regeneration - Call of Duty Style" implements the Call of Duty automatic health regeneration system. If you are attacked and your health is down, you must wait a few seconds before you start healing up to full health. If you are attacked in the process of waiting however, the time resets and you must wait again to fully heal.
What does this mod do differently compared to the other health regeneration mods found on this website?
-My mod implements a countdown timer from the time you are attacked to the time you begin regenerating health, unlike most of the other health regeneration mods that heal you immediately as soon as you get attacked, thus making you nearly invincible.
Be aware however, the health regeneration DOES NOT heal crippled limbs (unless you choose to use the FULL HEAL variation of the mod), so you still need to keep your head down! And your arms and legs tucked in ;)
=======================================
Installation; CHOOSE ONLY ONE FILE
=======================================
Default - This version simply heals you normally to 100% after waiting a few seconds without taking further damage. Your character will do a subtle exhale breath sound - similar to Call of Duty games - at the moment your health is being restored (This feature applies for all other versions as well).
Hardcore - This version is similar to the default version, only that crippled limbs will be a much more important factor. If any of your limbs are crippled, you can only regenerate to 50% of your maximum health. If none of your limbs are crippled, you will regenerate to 100%, similar to the default version.
Full Heal - This version is designed for the casual gamer, or players who do not want to deal with healing crippled limbs after nearly every firefight. This version functions like the default version, except that all your limbs fully heal when your health hits 100%. Be aware, this version does not make your limbs invincible; your limbs can possibly still be crippled while you are being attacked, so you will still feel the effects of being crippled until your health regenerates back to 100%.
Once you have chosen your desired version, simply extract the archive into your Fallout 3 Data directory, and activate "CoD Health Regeneration.esp" using any mod managing utility.

Recommended Mods
=====================
Because this mod makes the game A LOT easier than vanilla gameplay, I highly recommend using the following mods along with mine to balance the challenging difficulty:
"RWD - Realistic Weapons Damage" - Largely increases the amount of damage to weapons, making gun fights much more deadly.

"Amplified Crippled Effects" - Makes crippled limbs and effects much more serious.

"Triage" - Really makes the medical skill mean something.

"Combat Enhanced-Tactics" - Hostile NPCs are no longer Rambo; they actually take cover like they would in a real gun fight rather than doing a banzai attack at every encounter.

"MMMF3 - Increased Spawns" - Increased enemy spawns = more killing!
(http://fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=1415)
AND some other nice mods that would fit great with my mod:
"RH_IronSights - FOSE" - Uses iron sights animations to (mostly) all weapons, replacing that stupid vanilla zooming feature when you focus down sights.
(http://fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=6938)
"Immersive Health Visuals" - Your screen will become darker and blurry as you lose health; similar to Call of Duty!
(http://fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=11257)
"Sprint Mod" - Adds a nice sprint key that allows you to dash cover to cover or retreat.

"Realistic Gunshot Sounds" - Makes guns sound much more powerful and deadly.
