Yeap, go prone and look up and your good to go in a few seconds

I think its perfect, when you heal yourself you are looking down and not paying attention to whats happening around you, just like it should be.

When prone look straight up I believe this is the same for crouching.

whats this gotta do with realism?? its just a little confusing for the new medics around (hell even i get nervous when i get shot as a medic)

Does that mean that originally the idea was that a medic could only be healed by another medic or his own field dressings?

You got it.

Yep: prone = look up, standing/crouched = look down

On several occasions in earlyer versions I would only chucle when someone over voip would ask how to heal yourself with the medic bag and another player would reply that it's impossible (and I'd be standing right next to them healing myself)

As a medic I actually like the idea that you have to look directly up or down.
When a medic self heals himself, he shouldn't be able to look around for enemies etc.
All of his concentration should be into healing himself, separated from what is going on around him.
It gives the medic less of an opportunity to scope an area out while healing himself.
You should have to rely on your squad to keep u safe long enough to heal yourself.
Yes, having to look up/down to heal yourself is basically due to the BF2 engine, but it's a good limitation imho.

Hence why the medic always says, "Medic, have to heal myself" on voip. He wants protection.

Sometimes I get to thinking, how much is it that we clan players (or players who played together for a gawd awful amount of time) really do that has just become a habit nowadays...worth thinking about.
