I have a thought. They should get rid of people being able to heal themselves when in the DOWNED STATE. They should be able to heal themselves at any moment up untill the moment they are DOWNED.
It’s annoying to snipe someone behind cover and know that they are just going to get up or escape. This is more pronounced as you only have a few number of clips for your rifles as is.
A MEDIC Class would add realism and enable only that person in the squad to run around the battlefield and earn point for REVIVING the DOWNED allies. They could carry a side arm or even SMG. Healing could take like 2-5 seconds and they could use their own med pack or they persons who was DOWNED.
They could be worth 25% normal XP for killing a MEDIC, but the MEDIC could earn 100% XP of a kill for each person he revived.
Food for thought. Would add a whole new layer to the game w/positive gameplay aspects. As well, it would make it so that unless a MEDIC is running around doing his job? Those pesky people you snipe or get the drop on? Won’t just automatically get up in 10 seconds and escape.
For sure. I find most game developers only need an idea…their brains start rolling with the rest…much smarter than me haha, however it be nice not to have people reviving themselves when a MEDIC Class seems so perfect for the role. IMO
The vast majority of people can’t even be bothered to a build spawn point, how many people would ever bother to run around reviving people?
The issue of not being able to finish someone off only really applies to sniping. Every other time you can easily just run over to them and finish them off.
Or wait for them to get back up, knowing where they are and that they probably only have 1/3 health left.
Also, with the art/bomber spam problems at the moment this would be a complete nightmare.
Every game I play? People lay 2-3 spawn points per objective. People would play tactically if they were rewarded for doing so. If I knew I was going to receive just as much XP for healing allies…which helps them to take objectives…then I definitely would and I know alot of others would too.
Alot of people set up ARTY POSITIONS in order to call ARTY all game because they know it will help…and try get good XP from it.
It also isn’t just a sniping problem. It is a pain to shoot someone with any bolt action rifle behind cover or in a house and them just squat down to the floor for 10 seconds. I’m all for the DOWNED STATE, but it would be more rewarding knowing the only thing that would save that guy is a MEDIC.
Checks and balances make, IMO, everything much more fun to play. It may even encourage people to slow down and play more tactically knowing that they won’t be able to just go down and pop back up in a few seconds. It would add a whole new layer to the gameplay.
If I were downed and unable to heal myself, I’d immediately switch to another soldier. If there were no more soldiers in the squad, I’d just suicide and spawn a new one, so at that point being downed would be even more bothering than just being killed outright, due to the extra time/clicks required.
Staring at a red screen while waiting, no, HOPING for a random dude who may or may not be coming to revive me isn’t exactly fun and engaging gameplay.
I understand that, but that’s also the point. I think it would bleed tickets. It’s a decision to wait or to use the tickets and spawn in as another person. That’s part of the calculation. People’s impatience…including my own…would cause them to just skip it. Start a new squad…and you eat tickets. That’s part of why I think it would be great.
Lol you can still have fun waiting for a medic to save you…it’s only like 20+ seconds. We have to wait for spawn points sometimes too…that’s not always bad tho.
Can you even handle the insane amounts of fun you must be having by staring at the academy screen all the time it takes for your soldiers to be upgraded?
Agree, like I said…smarter men than I haha. Still, I think the DOWNED STATE could be reworked and it would make a better experience…overall to include the MEDIC…without it? The MEDIC seems unless or at least his pros wouldn’t justify selecting him, otherwise.
That’s like saying “Why take time sniping for one XP kill at a time when I can shoot a tank for 10 kills?” Especially if healing with a MEDIC was fast? It would be very viable to run around healing people.
If you are at a downed state you already have a medkit avaiable.
Since we can change to another soldier on the squad if avaiable on the fly medics make no sence in this game.
The only reason a medic squad would be implemented imo, was the ability to build crates to refill healh packs. And even that on such fast paced game isn’t wort the point.
It’s fast paced, but it isn’t THAT fast paced. Games like battlefield have already done something like this very well. Say what you will about battlefield…it definitely has its own issues, but it’s fast paced and the MEDIC is still useful and used well. He goes around reviving DOWNED players…
