i've said before: any respectable ground pounder goes medic. i'm medic 99% of the time. why? because no one ever plays it, so im always needed. plus taking cover and healing up is a huge advantage. yeah sure, i could get a flak jacket and an optic and some cool frags... but i'd rather heal myself to full health and then serve up a lead salad. although a lot of times it doesnt give me my healing points when i revive and heal someone. thats kind of lame. anyway, medic and rifleman FTW.

We should be sorting medic/ammo/repair points in 0.6

i usually play medic, was trained as a medic in the Norwegian army.. i find it the class that suites me the best.. the points don't really matter to me... gameplay does anyways i think the shock paddles are stupid coz in a battle soldiers don't usually die in a way that shock paddles would help them much.. i know it is asking much and won't proboably be done anything about, but instead of the medic "shocking" ppl to revive, inserting a Venflon intravenous cannula, or something like that and using a bandage or some sort of dressing would be more realistic hehe..

I totally disagree.

I think good medics get more points than good of any other class.

In my squad, typically I'll have two medics. Usually they'll be in the top 5, since I die so much and they get the points for the revive and heal.

I don't think the point system should change for medics.

Right, I'm back and once again - drunk as a sailor. Just the way you love me.

Now on topic.

I have noticed a rapid decline of medics, but took no real notice of it because of the new installment and new shiny weapons people got to play with. So I sat down and started thinking. Nothing wrong with the pointsystem. It's the new difficulty of beeing a medic in the last "patch" that did it.

Not so much that you have to zap 'em in the chest, it's more the fact that people run the opposite way of you after you ressurected them. And then blaming you for stupidity.

Or maybe the wave of medics where first timers that now have progressed onwards to play with the bigger toys?
