Maybe it should be a HUGE sign flashing on the screen "NOOBS CLICK HERE" or just make it big and explained so EVERYONE *turns and looks at noobs* knows whats happening

DB, these changes go a long way toward making the Medic kit no longer the one that the SL is forced to assign because no one wants to play it. Hopefully, we will see fewer squads running around without a Medic and as SL we will not have to force the kit on someone.

Yeah, I suggested that detail previously. As per standard BF2 medic routine you can only call out 3 times, each time is 10 seconds long. So the 1st is automatic, the 2nd and 3rd you control by clicking.
Basically anything after the first 30 seconds Medics will start realizing that finding revivable soldiers may become a problem. Hopefully something can be done about it.
Glad you noticed that Deadfast. Good attention to detail.

Iv'e read through every page in this topic to see if anyone had asked the same questions as me, which someone did...

...Although, he/she never got an answer yet.
My question, the same as the above, a bit: If you have the ability to stay "critically wounded" for 5mins, the kit you dropped will it disapear?

Well he said 60 secs so thats how long the kit will be available for I guess, you need the kit bag in case you get revived
So that alone has a knock on effect to HAT kits being lost or captured. Im not sure if the bag would disappear when you give up or stay till the full 60

Personally, I think 60 seconds is too short. A responsible squad would want to clear out any hostiles that downed you in the first place. And if you're fighting more then one or two enemies, the battle could be a lot longer then 60 seconds. I'd rather see a 5 minute criticly wounded time, with the traditional 30 second respawn time. So we can sit there and listen to our squadies fight on and hope they can revive us, and if not, then we just respawn.
