Cinematics are mostly for storytelling purposes, but they also hid a very real secondary purpose - we would do a lot of game setup during cinematics, like streaming data off of a physical disc while the cinematic is playing so that we can load what comes next.

This fighting game health mechanic is too fussy and unreliable for a busy shooter. Limited regen (e.g. hide for 10 sec = recover fraction of lost health) you can upgrade the regen fraction or regen delay, but imo a waste of upgrade slots I'd prefer full regen with less max health, or Halo-style shield meter. No hoarding / shopping trips.
