Medic class for FH2?

You're thinking about Bf1942 when you talk about "preventing everyone from going medic" this is BF2 and you gotta remember class limits are going to be moddable for real.

Yeah, we've already got one medic pick-up kit in Karelia of all places. End the madness now! I'm not even sure what the point of putting it in the most obscure of maps was, but I suppose it was just the whim of the map's creator.

Are you just off the short bus gator or do you realize you can have a medic class and not have them heal themselves?

You do know that it's entirely possible to mod it so you can't heal yourself, a la Eve of Destruction? Anyways, the way I think revival should work in BF2 is this - if possible, make a delay, around 4-5 seconds to revive. The person being revived will go up to 50-75% (I prefer 75, but at least 50). 20% is a dumb idea because anything would kill you then. You can't do anything with 20%.

for reviving give him horse syringes with adrenaline

It shouldn't come back by itself - morphine does not come from thin air. Maybe from a supply guy, I guess.

I dont think its stupid they took it out for realism means and i like it, as i was thinking i dont htink they will implement this because no medics.

Can someone explain what he meant?

I'd like to see medics implemented the way they are in America's Army. Medics in that game cannot bring people up to full health but can only stop the bleeding which prevents further health loss.

No. There is no way a field medic would be able to or SHOULD be able to do that. I think its creepy actually. The stories of Robot Nazi Super-Soldiers from Wolfenstein and stuff like that kind of influence people into bad ideas.

In BF2 Demo people are instantly ressurected to FULL HEALTH after dying. This makes NO FREAKING SENSE. If you are hit by a 7.92x57mm round, you aren't going to get back up and be right as rain no matter what sort of miracle worker your surgeon may be. Even the 6 million dollar man took a couple weeks of work and that was FICTION.

NO medics, NO revival. If you get shot, you die. Deal with it. I see people in BF2 jumping out of copters with no chute, and then land and die and get ressed and go about their business.

If your shot in the head or torso you should be dead, end of story.

I hear what your saying Mcgibs but come on lets be realistic, there are 7 classes in Bf2 and I imagine there'll be room for a medic.I mean think about it.

1.Close quarters
2.Rifleman
3.Support
4.Engineer
5.Anti tank
6.Officer
7.?

If anyone else can think of a better class to fill the last spot please tell me.

heavy support. HMG, mortar, ATR etc
