Medivac and MASH

[=]H[=TangFiend]

I have to agree with Thomas on this one. If a MEDIVAC system got to be too much of a hindrance I think it would just be easier to Give Up and die. Your char is already so fragile anyway you bleed out from a slip and fall accident.


Also the max teamsize is only 32. That's really not that many to be taking away from other squads. Already with many maps requiring pilots, and APC/Tank drivers. Need some actual regular infantry.

Would be neat to see those unarmed MEC and PLA 'jeeps' driving around with red crosses on them picking up people. Also could dump medical specific supply crates. Maybe could reload epipens and dressings off them quickly if not instantly. If they get destroyed the aggressor could face a +2 min respawn time or something. Like a Geneva violation.

Guess I am not saying anything that has not been said. I think increased medical features in game could be cool but not to detract from gameplay even more by putting small teams spread even thinner.

Imo it would just take out more guns from the fight. There are already enough restrictions on healing and surviving. It isnt easy reviving on slopes for example, healing takes some time not to mention the times a wounded soldier is lying in an area overwatched by the enemy.

Perhaps if some system could be devised where you could get in the ambulance and this woudl allow you to respawn as a 'replacement' while your previous incarnation is off being fixed. If the ambulance sucessfully delivers the 'casualty' to the hospital you get a ticket back to off-set the one you lost by spawning again.

Sounds utterly impossible on the BF2 engine, but it would save the 'sat in the ambulance' sydrome. :P

Greetings..

It was a thread here, don't know EXACTLY how I should work with this MAC.. ( Too complicated .. )

There someone asked to " take wounded " / " Carry them " to a safer place // to a MEDIC.
And that wasnt possible . So, then I don't think the idea you had is possible ..
Im not 100% sure though. Im not the experienced here.

Anyway, I think your idea was very smart and seemed realistic and thoughtful.

Would only be appreciated if you only had 1 life per round, otherwise just dying and respawning at the rally nearby is much faster.

I got a better idea, if you get shot to the point where you fall down and can't move you're dead. No revives. Just dead. Medics help the wounded--not the guy who took twenty bullets to the chest.

^ to an extent I think I would like that, it would make people really fear dying ingame at least.

but it would make the game too slow for some

If this happens, I'm never playing PR again.

Rounds would last 10 minutes max and people would flee servers when they die, utterly pointless.

The having 2 lives before having a really long respawn or something is kinda interesting, so if you went down you could respawn as a re-enforcement while your other "life" is been fixed up. So if you properly died by been headshotted you'd have a long wait ahead of you unless you wanted to be really stupid and endure a 5 min respawn or something.

Completely and utterly undoable though I imagine, I really don't think there's much point in any of this myself until we have like twice the people in game, something hopefully the next BF2 patch might fix if we're lucky.

Good idea, but like everyone else is saying, i think it would be a bit too much. Maybe in the far far far far future this could happen but tbh i dont think the DEV's will go for it anytime soon.
