Medic issues

[[R-COM]Outlawz]

I do like to play Medic most of the time, but there are two issues, that piss me off...

1. No cover from the revived - most of the time, when I revive someone, he'll face me or we'll get stuck in each others asses like the 69 position....
Im defenseless with my med kit in my hands, so when someone spots us, Ill die with a bag in my hands and the other guy will cough to death up my butt.

For god sakes, cover your medics!

2. Not so common, but sometimes, when I revive someone, he rans off half dead and bleeds to death in some hole while hiding.
Im asking the R-DEVS, if they could add a message at the top, when you revive someone and he doesnt get meded, like a warning "player123 needs medical attention" or "player123, you neeed medical attention after being revived"

Think, the second one might work, as the first one would probably get displayed, whenever someone got wounded.

Thats my rant for the evening...

Agreed.

Don't look at me when I'm healing you. Try to cover us so we don't get ambushed.

And if you're healing me and I say "Thanks", that's NOT your cue to stop. Your cue to stop is when I'm fully healed.

More agreed.

When someone medics you, follow him to where ever he leads you.
Medics should retreat to a safe place to further heal those he revived.

I'm finding the lack of medics these days to be disturbing, or worse yet, the ones where they ignore you if you aren't in their squad!

When I revive someone, I yell "follow me!" and back into a safer spot to heal them. If they want to run off like a dumbass that's their problem.

[jackal22]

oh i hate those dumb asses that insist on staying put in the middle of a raod while your trying to heal them, i just leave them if they dont head for cover within a few secs.

[ErusF]

Yeah, I push "Follow Me!" and run for cover, if they stay on the open or run like crazy I let then die. And some Medics need to learn, if the player is under fire, DON'T revive him, he WILL get shot over and over, aways kill the enemy that killed the guy first, then run to revive and get back to cover. Or if he was killed by a sniper or there are mutiple enemys throw a couple of smoke granade, wait until it take effect and then run for revive and take cover.

Once I was revived 5 times under fire, the enemy was just killing me and the medic only stoped reviving when he ran out of battery.

That's what I do when I'm playing sensibly. Sometimes I heal them just for the points or if I have reason to believe they have some decent fighting skills.
Generally, if they don't have enough common sense to move a few meters to where you are then they probably aren't worth saving or are bleeding out so badly they can't see anything. If it's the latter I might save them if they aren't too exposed. If they are I won't take the risk right away.
I do go out of my way to save SLs.

For those that are reading this you can help a medic out by popping your smoke.

More than I hate the dumb soldier that I'm supposed to heal I hate medics that run off after reviving someone without further treating them even more.

Having said all that most of the rounds I play in Zen. I go on autopilot and am generally pretty aggressive. So even as a medic I might not be paying as much attention to the wounded soldiers all the time as I am where the enemy is. The thing is this works pretty well with the squad. That's where most of my business is. It doesn't work as well for the whole team. If my squad is moving out I might stay and heal someone else that I revived but chances are I'll regroup without further concern.

One word of advise is if you have problems with medics overall blame your squad not the whole team of medics. They aren't working together.

Lately Ive seen a lack of quality in the medics.

When I get on Ill try an be medic.

[M4nicMin3r]

I love playing medic and i have to agree with the OP.., thats why ive changed my play style to a degree. The ONLY ppl that get revived usually now are my squad leader and squad mates and ONLY them, that way i can tell them on VOIP that im coming to revive them and to to run for cover once revived.

The only time i will take any notice of anyone else ( outside of my squad ) downed in the field is maybe another squad leader if they have no medics around or if they others run to me for healing while im in cover.

A bit selfish play style i know, but ive found 9 times out of 10 if i go to revive anyone else they do the things already mentioned and i end up been killed outright.

Yeh that sucks and i try my best to not get involved in a situation like that. If its part of my squad thats under fire i apologis in VOIP that i cant get to them.., they usually understand
