If you are only going to have 1 medic, then you might as well make headshots kill because I can see 5 people crowding around the 1 medic right now. Games will also be much shorter since medics won't be able to revive and heal as much, meaning more ticket loss.

I always preferred to have 2 medics per squad so 1 medic could work with half of the squad, and the other medic with the other half. That way, fireteams were semi-possible. Now, it will be even more impossible to split up since you won't have a medic that can be with both fireteams at the sametime.

Also, why not have the medic have the option of ironsights and scopes? On wide open and long range maps like Kashan, the medic can't really fight at all, even when there is no one to medic. I mean, everyone always tells someone in the squad to go medic (except themselves), but not everyone wants to medic at every second of the game, they want to fight too. And without a scope on certain maps, this makes them even more of the squad "b*tch" I guess you could say. Basically, the guy who is always there to provide your the squad, but never for his own needs. Players aren't hardcoded remember? And this game is still about fun remember?


And to the people saying 1 medic is fine, remember that this game is still based on the BF2 engine. No matter what you do to it, this engine was never meant for realistic play, hence why it is still so easy to die in this game, even if you are being "conservative." Just saying "be more careful" or "approach carefully" means nothing because half the time you do, but get killed because of lag, insta-proning, or lucky shots.

Instead of changing the medic, make headshots kill again. Don't limit one medic per squad. How am I supposed to have 2 independent fireteams? More and more and more limits. The maps get better, there is more content, there are more factions, but the gameplay gets more restricted.

00SoldierofFortune00 wrote:Point is, you can be as safe and tactical as possible in this game, but there are still too many ways to die as infantry and too many variables to being killed. I mean, you can trip or 2 feet down a staircase and need healing. 2 FEET LOL!!!!!!

But it doesn't really change the point that you're more likely to survive using roughly-realistic tactics (regardless of how many medics you've got), as opposed to going 'rambo' because the engine can be exploited.

I think you're exaggerating a little but naturally our experiences differ.

The battlefield is generally a dangerous place (RL or PR), you can't guarantee survival but you can certainly improve your chances.

BTW falling could be worse, in Vegas 2 you die instantly from falling off the tiniest ledge (yet can take several bullets and keep fighting).

That's yet to be seen but I'm not concerned, As I said I already enjoy performing the medical duties which you suggest are unappealing without multiple medics per squad.

00SoldierofFortune00 wrote:No, I said it will be unappealing once there is only 1 medic in the squad to pick up the duties of the second medic.

That's exactly the same thing just worded differently.

Because I don't find the medical role a burden, I think it's very beneficial teamwork element.

00SoldierofFortune00 wrote:I would much rather headshots kill again if we are only going to be limited to 1 medic.

TBH I don't personally care about whether head shots kill instantly or critically wound, either way the guys not shooting back anymore. Sure a medic can just revive him as it is, but that's why you try and kill the medic (more viable now that there's only 1 per squad).

I trust the dev's decision and if it turns out to be as detrimental to game play as you imply I expect they'll revise it in the next patch.

00SoldierofFortune00 wrote:I know and I never suggested going rambo. My point is, this game is still about fun and having one medic take the burden of the usual two is not going to be a good thing for people wanting to go medic IMO. Since headshots don't kill anymore, that one medic is going to be reviving every other second rather than fighting (when he can) because someone will almost always be wounded or critically injured (due to the massive amount of ways to hurt yourself ingame).

lets give the idea a chance
