I've been having trouble figuring out where to aim the Epipen after resuscitating a guy, because sometimes doing CPR will cause the soldier to, say, fall off a roof or otherwise start sliding down a hill. I've wasted quite a few shots trying to revive these guys.

Should I still be trying to stick the body, or where he was first resuscitated, or what? (Although I have a feeling I'm about to be told that there is no solution, and some guys are just meant to die.)

you only need CPR if they are stuck into the ground or wall or something. And the body is where you stick it.

I have always tried to lay parallel to the soldier and jab them between the shoulder blades... Interesting question (and probably really stupid - be kind )is there a hit box associated with the eipipen?

The eipipen is the same thing as the defibrillator so aim it as a defib.

The cpr is only needed when the body is stuck in an object.

Aim at the body, a good way to ensure you hit the body is to press Q, the 'clear' emote button gives you the centre of the screen to aim

CPR simply unsticks the body as others have said, which gets round a BF2 bug where you couldn't revive people

If your good at recognising the bug, you can decide when yo use CPR, otherwise use it all the time

CPR can make the body move unfavourably (or favourably, depending on the situation ), be mindful of this when doing it.

IF the body is going transparent, ITS DEAD, LEAVE IT. Probably some n00b asked for a medic then gave up just when you made that death defying run across the street to him (true story :evil

Stand on his crotch, look at his face, and stab him with it!

Already answered. Aim like a defibrillator.

And YES, this IS annoying.

If there arent that many bullets flying around your head I'd always use the CPR. It takes longer if you first try eppi and that doesnt work.

Lol what better way to make a guy feel better than standing on his family jewels and stabbing him in the face with a needle

I prefer squatting on his face and stabbing him in the crotch!

Teabagging whilst getting points & helping a squaddie makes Sgt.Smeg smile.

just like a defib, I aim for the feet. it has never failed me. . . unless they died in some strange way and are standing while dead.

Really? IIRC it only works on the torso.

Yeah, torso is the key. I find that aiming the epipen needs alot more precision then the old defib.

i like to aim for the buttocks area

Just wondering but does the CPR unsticker work on enemy casualties? Next time I might try pushing a wounded enemy around (or off a cliff) for a laugh.

I aim in the head, looks fun.

Yes, and it works on vehicles too.

And living soldiers. Nothing like breathing heavily and massaging the crotch of an allied soldier while he jiggles around.

Something tells me Truism's really into... experimenting?
Worth a sig, that one
