Interesting ideas, but don't forget: every measure hast to have a counter-measure. That is the essense of balance. All of those things would have to have some sort of weakness, or it would unbalance the game. Also, some of those things are already in the game, or could negate something in the game:

The TR turret? How about a clamped down TR AI MAX? Isn't that about the same thing?

The regeneration thing? What about medics? This doesn't need to turn into another BF42 where there's so many different ways to get healed that medics are essentially useless.

The NC shield? Wouldn't that be a tad hard to stop? Not to mention there's already the personal shield implant and the NC MAX shield. Even with the limited field/rotating shield, all they'd have to do is back into a corner and turn on the shield and it'll cover them. You could however, make it so that you can't fire through the shield - in or out, but you can just walk right through it (ala the shields in Episode 1). This would back up NC's shotgun philosophy, and would draw them in so they could pummel on them from short range.

Good ideas though guys, I'm just offering counter-arguments.
