Otherwise you will be forced to kill every single person in a squad or one of them will have 60seconds just to defib every person. How will it work to play sniper now when if you kill the medic they can just smoke the whole map and then revive him by stealing his kit. It is unrealistic already that a soldier just learns in the process of half a second how to revive and bandage another soldier back to life but now this will happen all the time. It will basically be the same as it used to be with spawning on the squad leader only that rounds will last alot longer due to the fact that the tickets wont drain.

I havent even gone into how unbalanced this will be against the milltia faction who dont even have medics. They wont have any chance at all now to win because most of the time the infantry which you kill will just get revived. Fools road will be 10x more unbalanced than it is now unless you put a real army into that map instead of forcing the Milltia to play against a real army on a huge map where they have scopes and defibs and the millitia dont. The Millitia are only effective on smaller maps where there is 95% CQC unlike Fools road where they have no chance and they will have alot less of a chance now. Fuzzhead you are part of the PRT and you have seen twice now how unbalanced fools road is to the british side just because of the facts that they have defibs which save around 50 tickets a round (probably over 100 now) and the scopes which pwn the millitia iron sights any day.

I mean even to the most veteran players it is very rare that you come up on an enemy squad and you manage to wipe out the whole squad so that there isnt a single guy left who could (after these changes) just hide for 30 sec or so and then nick the medic kit and get reviving.

Just my opinion.

00SoldierofFortune00 wrote:That's what I was thinking. The US or probably any country is supposed to care for the down or wounded, even if they are enemies. I think this would work if a squad was clearing a room and put some in the enemy as he was going down, but if he just comes across an enemy downed, how exactly is that realistic?

'[R-MOD wrote:KP;692122']Have you read House to House by David Bellavia? He's not a good writer, but it's a good read anyway. According to him, the US Army lads put quite a few rounds into downed insurgents, just to make sure.

Sgt.Smeg wrote:I like the idea of this 'variable' spawn time, kinda showing the downed player trying to stay alive or simply give up.

Hows abouts, Spawn times kept as they are without any change until you click..."medic!" then +10 seconds to your spawn time. You can only shout out every, say, 8 seconds or so 3 times after you're initially downed. The "give up" option is only given when you've bought more time.

This may seem kinda pointless but it might lessen the number of people that freak out at this new spawn time system and gives you 1 more thing to do when looking at the black screen of death.
