Medic class for FH2?

[Tsunami Bomb]

Guys,
I really think we should have a geneva convention for this game. I know some medics carried weapons and all US medics carried a colt .45. But there should be somthing like a -2 score for shooting a medic. Any side. But the medic shouldnt be able to shoot back at you. Not very many medics were shot in WWII, and if you think about it, the ratio of medics not being shot to being shot is greater. So I say we dont give medics a weapon, but instead give them an oppertunity to have fun while they are healing. If you have medics with guns, they are more focused on killing than healing.

Ok... So, you'll give me a pistol and a medkit? LOL I'm not going to spend 4 hours downloading FH so I run around healing ppl. I want to shoot the other guy too ya know. Whats going to stop some1 from shooting me anyway? -2 score, HA. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Badsed is right this isn't about Medi-class vs. respawn times. This is about how to incorporate medics into FH. Servers set thier own spawn times so will always be at there whim.

Let's face facts. We're going to shoot the medic. If it's on the field and wearing the wrong uniform.. I'm shooting! So no -2 for killing a medic. Don't give him a carbine though. Let him earn his points healing people like he's suppossed to. Pistol's for self defense nothing more.

it would be pretty neat to have it so that shooting a medic who hasn't ever shot his weapon is zero or even negative points, whereas if the medic is firing his pistol or trying to knife you in the face and you dispatch him you get normal points.

so it gives people playing medic can choose to either play aggressively or 100% as team/squad support.

or maybe not. if the medic is running around reviving people you just wounded then it would really be stupid to not kill him too.
