Particle System still won't play if you:
- Set "Looping" to false.
- Set "Simulation Space" to Local.
- Set "Play on Awake" to false.

I'm also experiencing this issue still.
I have zombies that are supposed to play a blood splat particle effect upon being hit.
If bullets hit the zombies repeatedly with a time between shots being about 0.25 seconds, after not having been shot, the particles play repeatedly, as they should. As soon as I stop shooting them however, wait a second, then shoot again, the particles will not play.
I've been messing around with combinations of
zombieBlood.Stop();
zombieBlood.Clear();
zombieBlood.Simulate(0.0f, true, true);
zombieBlood.Play();
and can't get anything to work reliably.

Im still experiencing this bug with the latest 5.3.2 p4.
As someone has mentioned, the parent system does not play after once. But the children behave properly.
A particle system with only parent and no children just plays once.
Again as someone has mentioned if we set ps.startLifeTime = ps.startLifeTime. It plays but some its not the workaround.. This needs to be resolved!!

I'm having this issue after upgrading to 5.3.2f1 from 5.0.2. Seems that adding this nonsensical piece of code after my Play() and/or Emit() calls fixes the problem:
ParticleSystem sys;
sys.startLifetime = sys.startLifetime;
Credit to mgsteinkamp for discovering this solution.

I just tried 5.3.2p3 from http://unity3d.com/unity/qa/patch-releases and the problem is fixed for me. Calling Play() multiple times works, even for local space particle systems.

I am using 5.3.2f1 and the problem still exists on my side. Using particle system in local space.
Also I had to set a burst (1) to all the particle systems that I had because when calling Play they were not coming out.
