What do you think of the new medic system?

Megagoth1702 · Post by **Megagoth1702** » 2011-07-16 01:18

The medic cant heal himself anymore - that keeps him out of battles even more but in situations where he cant control the damage he's taking (mortars, falling randomly) it becomes a clusterFck and people have to switch kits in order to heal the medic.

What do you think of this change fellas?

Really... My medic was complaining about that and we thought it was a bug. Not sure what to think yet as I'm usually an AR, AT, Marksman or Rifleman and my experiences when I'm down have so far for the moment been the same - No problems with the medic.

I guess this makes Medics having to actually hang back now but it could be troublesome.

Its a change in what we're use to but it's realistic which is the reason I'm playing PR and currently going away from console gaming.

It's ridiculous to do something like this in the name of realism while you can get blown to pieces by an HE round or get swiss-cheesed by a machinegun and have a guy come and stab you with an epipen and it's like it never happened. Since the DEVs haven't said anything I am assuming this is a bug.

I was waiting for it.Not like DO TI DO IT!, but, i always thought it was acceptable, after all when you get badly injured, i dont know in what state your brain is... you would probably just mess yourself up trying to mend the wounds...

Lets not start on the realism side of BF2

R because its just not worth it.

Even if you manage to hang back and try your best to stay out of bullet paths you will get shot/mortar hit eventually. The pain starts there.

Yeah same. I always wanted it in PR but thought that PR is way too soft to implement it.

Nice surprise. Like it, adds challenge and even more thinking into battle. The less reckless arcadish behavior in game then it's more enjoying for me. Ofc it's just my point of view.

But I think it's feedback thread that should be closed. ;]

Oh you will have problems with it, for sure. Maybe you don't want to admit it, but you will, same as everyone else.

Atleast now the medic is less of a one man army.

Realism to the extent being possible; this being possible.

One would think that a change like this would be listed in the change log. So it might be a bug. But then again they could have not listed it to gauge the communities reaction/adaptation to the change.

Since when was the medic a one man army?

It has a rifle, just like a grenedier, a rifleman, or even a crewman. If your argument is that the medic can just kill the enemy and then epi all 5 players of his squad to full health then I don't think your argument holds much water.

If your entire squad can be taken down by one medic, then there is a problem with your squad.
