Shouting out medic

bundoman · Post by **bundoman** » 2005-08-11 13:59

DO you guys think that it would be a good idea if when you shout medic when you are critically wounded, you have to stay there for at least a minute or two. IT is incredibly annoying when you are a medic, everyone shouts medic and by the time you have got there they have respawned! this will make it so that if you want to stay a live you have to wait. Rather than it being a hopefull attmept at stying alive and wasting a medics time

Everyone, always, automatically screams medic when they are critically wounded.

But he is talking about when you manually do it

You can't do it manually after you die, it won't let you.

You can do it while you are critically wounded.

I think the original point is a longer "critical wounded" time.

I like the idea. It gives medics more of a chance to revive you, and it will keep your "inactive" longer. Thus giving more of an advantage to the team that killed you (one less soldeir for a bit longer while he lays wounded).

Something like this may be a good medium point from the short spawn time of an arcade (bf2), and the extreme 1 life per round suggestions that have been brought up.

Oh, I never knew that.

yeh the idea is so that people are out of the battle longer thus giving a medic a more important role

After the initial time of being critcally wounded.
why not have an option. press *** to stay for X amount of time and wait for possible revival or press *** to respawn.

now that is a good idea. although, you wouldn't want to have a map full of people waiting to be revived.........

I do not mean stay like that for an unlimited amount of time. simply an extra time allowance of say? 20secs? if you want it or not.

*content not apporpriate for... those who don't live in a low class ghetto like me.

My idea requires voice talent, but we need to have guy

SCREAMING!!!

HOLY SHIT HELP ME IM GONNA DIE! O GOD MY LEG! GRAAAH!

same thing for being shot, you don't go 'oof' you go 'AAAAAH!! FUCK! AAAAAH!!!'

Sounds can even go as far to make animations appear to do somthing they did not.
Point is like everyone knows - bad sounds = bad game. Gotta get sounds right!

Figisaacnewton · Post by **Figisaacnewton** » 2005-08-11 22:35

ya, like the noise of a weapon dropping 75% as the difference between not being directly behind it and standing next to the guy who is shooting it, not to mention every weapon sounds way different in 3rd person than it does in 1st person

What about if you didnt call your own medic... I mean you just got criticaly wounded your in shock, maybe unconscious. I think it would be cool if your teammates called a medic using something like the spotted commands. And if he gets healed you get a point or something. This would also influence sticking with a wounded buddy to make sure a medic gets there.

TerribleOne · Post by **TerribleOne** » 2005-08-11 23:15

Thats a good idea about being able to point but you can shout medic anywhere atm anyway so if your next to them its the same effect. drawing the medic over hell soon see who needs his attention.
But i think if you got hit unconscious then yea mabe somthing is needed to give your medic call further 'range' if you dont wnat to leave your post (which no one would who plays in bf2 :evil
