Coughing is so annoying

Ok, so I'm coughing and like "arghh this sucks, need a medic" so I try to run...
Oh yeah, I'm dying, I can't run.

So, I call for a medic.
Oh good, I can see their icons on the map but that's it, I have no idea where I am otherwise.

Well, guess I'll just fire this m203 at my feet and be done with it.

All you have to do is run towards the icon, if your going the wrong way it will get farther away..... if your going the right way it will get closer......

hehe...i prefer to just drop a grenade at my feet.... nice idea when being chased as well... just before going around a corner...

I heard when the japanese where returning from burma over the mountains they would just give the stragglers a grenade and 2 guys would pull the pin and give each other a nice warm grenade hug...

what a way to go..jesus this world is sick....

there's currently a bug where the coughing is starting too early and lasting too long... it's actually only supposed to start just before you die and end as soon as you die.

should be fixed in next release.

those tear gas bullets piss me off, i always though the near death thing would be a darker screen or some kind of motion blur, rather than the tear gas effect from SF

If you are coughing up blood, then you are beyond a medic's help (but then Im also against shock paddles/defibrilators too so..)

The coughing I thought added to the realism so just fix those things you mentioned and it will be great.

Why do I cough when I am on the ground and I can't move anymore nor can I even fall on my sword to end the coughing?

OR Better yet

Just make the coughing last 2-3 seconds no matter what (I think this gets the point across).
