Is PS like Counter-Strike (Die in one or two hits) or Timesplitters 2 (Fights actually last a reasonable amount of time) when it comes to HP?

Because the epic battles I anticipate could be over in 2 minutes if it's like Counter-Strike. Are the battles epic?

You're forgetting that people respawn, plus people die quickly in CS mostly because of headshots, which aren't in PS.

This really depends on the weapon and armor in question. One or two shots kills me every time because I am an infiltrator. A MAX, to give you the other extreme, barely notices being shot once or twice with a pistol.

Depends on your armor and what you are shot with. (I know, cop out answer, but it's true)

Assumign Reinforced Armor and Medium Assault weapons, it takes a few hits to kill you. It's not totally a matter of just who shoots first. It you are in agile armor (or less), it tends to be a matter of dying within the first volley or two.

But because of the sheer numbers and the fact that people respawn fairly quickly, I've been in battles that took almost hour before they were over.
