BF2S Forums HOW TO: Use defibrillator's

When I play medic\support, I do my best to support my team.  I will revive\heal\resupply my team if it close to me.  Sometimes I will not revive if the dead play is in the open and the area is under enemy fire.  In the end, it will cost the team 2 tickets instead of 1. 

When I play, I use the in game VOIP and our clan's Vent server.  I do my best to respond to aid request from those channels and the mini map.  I will even grab a dead medic's kit and try to revive them too.

Nothing pisses me more off than players that first revive and then a second later I'm killed and the guy that revived me as well!!

dead wrong, 99% of the time its smarter to revive first. try your little clear the area before revving plan against good players and watch your squad get raped.

Qft. The fact is as the revivee, it is your responsibility to move your ass the instant you are res'd.

Very QFT. Upon being revived, (1) Jump up and run to the nearest cover, (2) Locate enemies, and (3) Give the medic a "Thanks, I owe you one." If you're killed before you can reach cover, tough luck, but at least you distracted the enemies for a moment and absorbed some of their ammunition.

Welcome to bf2.  You are a major and you're just realizing this? ;p.  If you aren't playing with a friend, don't count on getting more than revived once or twice a round, in fact if that happens, you've had a good round.

That is the biggest pain in the ass is when you just get brought back to life abd some dude comes and kills you. I hate that

That means now you and the medic have 200% health and 2 guns, and only one of you needs survive the engagement (you can swap kits and res your dead buddy if the med died) as opposed to one guy trying to clear any enemies around before your timer runs out. Often the timer is almost dead before the medic can reach you; be thankful you got resed in the first place. I play with buddies on vent, and you can even res people in front of tanks and APCs if you and your buddies are smart.

Overall, you may die now and then from multiple res's, but it is actually very rare (like once in three rounds) if you play smart. Also, if you aren't willing to pick up a medics kit to res people around you, then you don't get to bitch about anything to do with medics. Good medics go out of there way to res people and fight, and that means anyone who bitches better do the same or stfu. Yes bad res's happen, but you can survive 80% of bad reses just by getting up fast and jumping to safety.

yeah, no, if you are LUCKY, the player that killed you won't be there to own your ass as soon as you are revived, i don't care how fast your reflexes are, if you have someone with half a brain, they will wait until the medic revives you and then kill you both, especially if they are in a vehicle

i vote for a sticky

Look out for enemies! It's no use if you get revived and killed again because the noob medic didn't look for enemies.

Nah guys, I admit I ALWAYS try to revive people, even in the heat of battle, even in front of an enemy tank, even in front of 4 MEC enemies. I do a dive, revive, and get back up, run, turn around ,and fire at any attackers. From my experience more then 80 % of the time my revived teammates don’t die right away. Those  who do die are usually idiots who don’t’ scamper for any cover but lie there on the cement road of karkand and get killed by the same hot shot sniper that first took them out. And ya I will revive them again and again- because I don’t’ lost anything, the team does not lost anything unless he is DEAD, the revived don’t’ lost anything but wait time. I would not take the sniper out first because to risky for me

Well the tip i learned recently was that you did not have to actually on the dead body to revive him. But there are times when the guy just won't revive or my shockpads are low because i threw to many medic bags away- need to be more efficient at healing other people.
But dont' get me wrong there are numerous of time where i would gun down enemies in front of me first and then revive; mainly because i have my m16a2 out already.

Medics should be a 1 shot one kill for a sniper, that is why this game is so B/S.

A man holding a revive pack in real life? Come on.

1 Shot 1 Kill, but leave the G36 Medic rifle as is or make it worse and more deadly.

This game is b/s and not to be to mean but “a man holding a revive pack in real life? COME ON?” ......ZOMG! More comparisons between games and a RL! I mean why don't the tanks run out of gas? why does it take like 3 shots to the head with a 9mm? Why don't I bleed? Why do I fall I don't break my leg and get still run fullspeed? Why are the Chinese fighting the US of A? Why doesn't my gun break when someone's bullets hit it? COME ON!!.... Why? because its a game. Btw medics are 1 shot 1 kill, if you hit them in the head. And a true sniper will always goes for a head shot

Um, I've played ~450 hours of Sharqi with vehicles, all of my time on the ground, and honestly I meant what I said.

I completely disagree with you, it has nothing to do with luck, if you are ready to move, 99% of the time you will make it away, and if you don't make it the first time, I'll res you again, and if I die, you can res me by grabbing my kit. If you are not fast enough to do this, it is your fault not mine. If you don't res me back when I am getting you up safe, then you should be glad I even bother to res you in the first place. (I will kick you from my squad if you do not return the favor on a regular basis).

The fact is by resing you, I create two targets for the enemy, instead of just me, and I now have two guns, and only one of us has to survive to res. Even better if you play in a squad with friends, then of the 3-6 people, only one needs to survive to res everyone. If you have ever played any kind of league play, tournament play, any kind of competition whatsoever, you will know how vital it is that your medic and your squad plays as a team and plays smart.

Leaving guys down may seem ok to you, but it is not ok to me - I need their eyes, their guns, their ability to resupply, heal, claymore whatever, and most of all, I need them to be a meat bag to flush out the enemy. The enemy may kill one of us, but then we know where the enemy is and 5v1 = dead enemy + res teamate and now its 6 v 0. You get the idea. Everyone I play with on xfire can take out at least 2 guys reliably before going down in a 2v1 fight. Rolling together only multiplies that force and thus I will do anything I can to res a teammate - including taking any nearby medic kit, a teammates medic kit, or my own if I am playing medic. Honestly, try it and it is worth it, the few times you get GL'ed or grenaded as a group is like 1% compared to the number of times you can get your buddy up safely. Your KD ratio will be further enhanced if everyone returns the favor for eachother. The only draw back is that after 100's of hours of medic time, people understandibly want to finish off their 100hours in other kits. So someone has to be the medic bitch each round. Draw straws or something.

Finally, yes I understand there is retarded medics who will revive you right in front of the barrel of a tank, but honestly if they are that dumb, your team is screwed anyway. Play in a squad, or join a new server. There is always an exception to a rule, and being an idiot is an obvious exception - I hope you have a friend or someone you can play with who won't be that stupid!

Another tip is to throw a medic bag on the corpse you are going to res. If you or the person on the ground gets shot while you prone dive and res them, the medic bag will top either of you up and get you both to safety. I do it when I know an enemy is close by, or say I run out of ammo, theres a man down in front of me, and the enemy in front of me. Rather then duke it out with the enemy with my pistol, I will toss a bag on my dead buddy, prone dive revive him, and switch to pistol, while he has a semi-full gun to finish the douche bag off. You can also throw a nade at the enemy to buy you some time to res your teammate. Any kind of diversions you can think of to get another body off the ground will pay off in the end if your buddies res you in return when you die. You must be willing to pick up a medic kit!

u play with bad teammates. i dont take risks to revive noobs that i know will completely fail. u can usually tell within a minute who ur good teammates are. u stick with those players or you die like some lonewolf noob thats trying to get teamwork points off a corporal.

I was right about to post this topic myself when I saw yours!

The only reasons I can give for not reviving someone is:

1. I'm dead too!
2. You're not squad leader and there are lots of dead (You gotta revive that guy first, particularly if you're near a red CP)
3. You're not a medic and there are lots of dead (Revive the medic, and he can help you with the others)
4. I'm too busy chowing down on some PB&J. Booya, I love that shit!
5. I packed PB&J sandwiches instead of my defibs this morning.
