It was a bug but they kept it in as it's not a problem. I know I like it.

Yeah, I figure that being unable to defend yourself, because of you looking down at the ground, makes up for being able to heal yourself. I've caught my fair share of self-healing medics in the past.

I rather use the field dressings I have and stay out of trouble, no exploiting medic bag glitches for me

Not much good if you don't have any left. Also, i'd rather keep them for other people/emergencies. And it's not a glitch if it was a 'bug' that was kept in intentionally is it? It simulates a medic healing himself by having to look down while standing up. Maybe stiching up a wound or something.

Never works for me, I tried looking down before with medi bag, doesnt do anything

Gotta press and hold the button too. If nothing happens, move a bit then try again. The key is to look as far down as possible. If you're not looking straight down and not moving, it doesn't work.

I didn't know this was intended as a bug, lol.

It was not intentional, but since they could not remove it, they had no choice but to leave it as is :/ BF2 is Hardcoded =)

Well, it is still a nice feature.

I have also never heard about it (I used bandages all the time in 0.6beta and I had no problem with it) and found this bug only thanks to Spearhead's guide.

I think it is realistic feature, but it should be much harder (slower in game) to heal himself then to heal others.

I agree.

Sure you are standing up when you try it?

Take a look at Wolfe's 60 second v0.6 newbie guide, tells you basically all you need to know that's new.

Can you confirm that this is the official stance on the issue?

I like it. It makes you very vulnerable as you have to look down and it works best when sing up exposing much of you to fire.

Another good tip would be once you get the self healing going ( whilst standing up) go immediately to crouch, when the healing stops stand up for a split second to get the healing going again then crouch.

Least that way your not totally a sitting duck.

Heh, but you're acting like a duck!

I mean, Medic!
