Medic self heal?

Clonearmy3 · 02-16-2010, 04:36 AM

So anyone want to explain to me why the medic has to be looking all the way up or down to heal themselves? It just seems kind of silly and unneeded.

And I have a friend who I tried to get into PR and it bugs the hell out of him...hes weird like that

its to make it unconfortorable to get shot (atleast i think it is) if you get shot, you have to look at a weird angle, making you an open target, this way you can not watch a corner or anything while healing yourself=P

thats atleast why i heard they did it

nah, its because its the BF2 engine, you have to look at your (invisible) self to heal yourself

It's actually a bug, but it's fine as it is

it's because the medic bag only heals in a small cone in front of you. when you look down or up you hit your own body with this cone. originally it was a bug that was noticed and used by the better players, but it made it's way into normal gameplay and worked quite well.

from what i remember anyway

So why does it work when he looks up? Is he healing the tip of his hair? :P

ah, interesting

I suppose looking up when prone heals you because the camera is located at the chest and not the head?

My experience is that it doesn't heal you when you're prone, only if you're standing. Crouching may work, but I've had many occasions that didn't do the trick.

Jesus the realism nazi's are out in force this week... The self heal works well and has become part of the gameplay stop trying to spoil things that already work fine.

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

now now don't get nazi's involved leave the nazi's alone they're bullied enough already
yeah it is a bug and yes you are healing like a tip of you hit box which could well be his ear
