Make Medic A Limited Kit?

[Meester]

Why?

Now Im not sure what the ratio of medic to basic combat soldier is in real life but sometimes you see on some maps, three medics clustered around one another or you can get three medics in one squad.

It just seems unrealistic among one team to sometimes see so many medics around and not seeing them spread out more. I think that turning medics into limited kits would see a reduction in their numbers and see them where they should be (one medic per squad?).

Maybe it isn't unrealistic but seeing three medics in one place reviving one another seems strange perhaps?

since medics ingame are just soldiers who have completed various medical courses ontop of the standard live savers course I would say no.

Although I am always interested in that old suggestion of limited medic kit that heals and revives, and a spawn kit that heals. But i'm not sure if BF2 provides the best platform for a system like this.

that mixed with CPR giving extra seconds on the wounded timer would = win (thats asking too much I know...)

nooo. don't limit the medic kit. it's hard enough to get 2 medics in ur squad as SL as it is (it's easier in .8 though )

[Zimmer]

Blasphemy.

never limit the medic kit. there is already hard enough to get one in your sq

[Rudd]

I'd be happy with limiting it to 2 per squad (assuming a full squad of 6), but limiting it like the other kits seems a bit overboard.

oh yes, that is a good idea, I hate medic squads who just revive each other all the time

[Solid Knight]

An all medic squad is pretty limited in capability. Besides if they are busy reviving each other it puts several members of their squad out of the fight for a while. I don't think preventing people from being stupid should be a goal of the mod.

Yeah it's all been covered, I always play medic, and with the current limited kit spawn times, would be very annoyed having to wait all that time just cos I tried to save someone.

[chudley]

^^ agreed, you should not limit medics, or how are they going to build a field hospital

Not every soldier on the battlefield is a combat team medic, but they do know how to keep someone alive until help arrives.

I think the current balance is about right, dont forget it takes a fair bit of time to heal some one, which can be a lifetime under fire.

No. Also Medic Only squads are fun.

[LithiumFox]

besides, i mean with all the people who choose hats and snipers and stuff, =/ do we really need to limit everything?
Hah.. thats funny to think about
Everything is limited: 64p server...
