BF2S Forums Dumbass medics

i lag and so i cant shoot for crap ( on laggy servers ) so i revive. and do anyof u whining idiots actually use that stupid medics unlock IT SUX! if we revive u just get the hell up and run. and cover us. and if u need health and we r fixing u DONT RUN AWAY!!!!! WE CANT RUN FOREVER!!!!

so stop ur whining about medics we do our job, u do urs

we dont tell u hoe to do urs, so dont tell us how to do ours.

Aint like we got alot of time to 'clear the area', especially if it's a tank just around the corner and you can't simply jump up and run. If you obviously arn't ready to jump up and run the 2ND time you get revived, then that's your problem.

We could die at any moment trying to revive you so you can get the fuck up, be thankful we even try, especially if you are assault or special ops.

God knows how much time we would save if we could see a countdown of how many seconds left next to each persons name.

True, Slick - but the medic can see the situation better and they can make better judgement on it.

Generally I jump up and survive after a revive, but occasionaly some medic keeps reviving me and i get blown away. Resulting in a collective 1 minute spawn time... thats annoying.

Like with all things, it needs to be a judgement call. You need to gauge your chance for success.

Desired outcome: You revive the teammate and undo a potential ticket loss

Undesired outcome: You die attempting to revive and both of you are ticket losses

Acceptable outcome: You die but get the revive off just before doing so, and the teammate kills or escapes.

So you have to gauge what your chances are. You can't make a blanket statement of "never res while there are enemy around" because there are times when ressing is the smart thing. One time I turned a corner to see 3 dead teammates who fell to the hand of two enemies hiding behind a piece of blockade. There was no way I could attack the enemies myself, it was 2on1 and they had entrenchments. Considering they had just fired their guns and it was logical to assume they were probably reloading, I took the risk, dashed to the first teammate, and flopped on him just as they started firing on me. Revive worked, I got up and hid quickly behind a corner, and the teammate I just revived started retaliating. Teammate distracted the two, and I ran out again and revived the other two teammates. Enemy killed the first teammate, but two new revives killed them, and I re-revived the original teammate.

Risk was high, but so was the reward, nothing ventured, nothing gained.

Of course if it's a hopeless situation, like an APC sitting right on top of you, there is no point, as you are always going to get the undesired outcome which is double ticket loss. But in general, if you are a grunt complaining about actually receiving medical aid, you need to give your head a shake. It's so rare that there is even a mediocre medic, let alone a good one helping the team that you unfortunately have to take what you can get.

Why do medics "flop" you can revive while you are standing plus you can move faster and easier. I love it when medics flop because I know I can just fire my rounds into the wad of bodies and hit something.

I shouldn't say anything because often times I least get 1 of the 2 after a flop, giving me a free kill. But I was just wondering because when I was medic I would drop health leading back to cover run out revive standing up and then run back. I made sure to try and drop 2 bags so my teammate can run over it on his way out.

i feel ya, man.

What would be nice is a big button that says "DNR".  I hate spawn-die-spawn-die-spawn-die etc. gets on my nerves.

Also if you want to spawn on other side of the map, or you don't have any ammo.. There are loads of reasons you don't want ressusitated (sp)... yet the medics keep charging in...

CLEAR!

it is annoying to get revived in the middle of a fire fight just to die again and again i too wish medics would try yo kill the enemy before giving me aid as i usually dont want to respawn there anyway

I really only play several Kits.  I play in this order.  Support, Medic, Assault, Anti Tank.  When I play support or medic, I always drop shitloads of med/ammo bags.  Secondly, I think the L85 isn't the greatest rifle, and I only rely on it when Im not on the USMC side.  The M16 is prolly the best rifle in the game I think, I prefer its power and precision accuracy to the G3, and AK's.  I may kill a few peeps when in a firefight, but If revive. get your ass up and run.  Just cause you got killed, don be like ok I will wait to spawn.  Keep yourself on your toes and ready to go.  Be happy medics are there and do their jobs. 

I've started playing as a Medic recently, and when a guy is gunned down and there are enemies nearby, I know I suck at shooting, so I try to revive him so he can shoot them for me. Another thing is that Medics are always worried that the guy will respawn when they're clearing the area. Think about it.
