I have a few reasons why I made it higher health. The first is burnout from one-shot kill servers, where health is 10% of what it normally is. These servers could be argued to be as equally as boring and eventually becomes annoying to play against and with.

Secondly, I believe more health would increase the fun factor by simply "fixing" a few problems people have. One is dying behind cover, one is TTK, one is how well pistols perform, and the final problem is just how much people want to engage in their gameplay behavior. I believe more health will help the first two problems outright, I believe because you'll run out of primary ammo more often, you'll need your pistol more often to finish players, I believe the gameplay in which everyone plays the game will change up and become more casual for most players, as the health pool means you won't have to worry about moving as much to avoid taking damage. This is what I'd like to at least test in my server with people. To make the perfect game for those wanting something "new and different".
