Teamwork Points....Health/Supply etc. Kinda annoying.

Re: Teamwork Points....Health/Supply etc. Kinda annoying.

Maybe they are just trying to learn the game and since they might not be that great with a weapon they help whenever they can however they can...Nothing wrong with that dude.

When playing medic, I generally only revive those who ask, but it can be tricky I admit. The first, "Medic!" is automatic, but the subsequent shouts are strictly player initiated, and only when I hear two or more do I tend to revive someone.

Actually both are player initiated. You get 2 screams for help then you die a slow painful death while the enemy tea bags you...

No, they're not. Or if the first one is, then it's just a carry-over from the player still firing at his enemy and is unintentional, so same difference.

*hold on*

Nope, you are wrong. I just logged onto a server, spawned in (at Hotel on Karkand), and just stood there with my hands on my lap. A few seconds later a MEC came along and killed me, and the moment I died, I shout out, "Medic!!" Again, my hands were on my lap, so no, the first one is not player initiated.

Re: Teamwork Points....Health/Supply etc. Kinda annoying.

yea, the first one is automatic, anyone who dies will shout for a medic.

Re: Teamwork Points....Health/Supply etc. Kinda annoying.

At any rate, even if the first one wasn't automatic, I would still wait for two shouts--only then can one really be sure the guy wants to be revived.

Re: Teamwork Points....Health/Supply etc. Kinda annoying.

a dying man shouting to be revived. awww....

Re: Teamwork Points....Health/Supply etc. Kinda annoying.

ppl make their argument like you can be a medic and heal and revive, or cap flags, and attack enemies.....

when i am medic i attack ppl cap flags, heal and revive.....sorry if anyone has an issue with that, but its fun....its like assault/medic combined

perhaps you should consider a majority of their teampoints are from caps and neuts.....when i am at a flag, i damn pray a medic is nearby because its a dangerous area.....if im a medic, i hold the med pack out, so the enemy doesnt see med bags appearing magicly out of nowhere

also, thank your friendly local medic for helping your kill/death ratio a lil

Re: Teamwork Points....Health/Supply etc. Kinda annoying.

Many people's main issue with medics is the fact that they can get tons of points relatively easy, and there are "revive tards" out there who revive you 10 times for no other reason than to get points and watch you die (they revive you looking down a tank barrel, tank shoots, you die. they do it again. and again. and again. and ag-well, you get the point). Its great that i'm seeing some good medics here, but there are still quite a few bad ones out there.

Re: Teamwork Points....Health/Supply etc. Kinda annoying.

Again, i see nothing wrong with medics, and them getting points helping "YOU", the guy doing the stuff, some points. However, again, they too can get points the same way i get points. PLUS they get points.......see where im going with this?
I mean, SUPER HIGH teamwork points for say a medic, supply/engy, dont necessarily mean they actually used super teamwork.
Irregaurdless, i see no reason why,
(AGAIN)
a person can kill 5 people, die 12 times, and yet, get 120 points. That seriously makes zero sense. Like I said before, in alot of rounds where i've seen numbers like this, i never even seen this mysterious 120 point medic. And being a player that moves around considerably in game.......i find that mysterious.
Still. 5 kills, 12 deaths, 120 points.... like, 40 points more then second place?
Nah.....it totaly makes zero sense.

But.....im just arguing this point. In reality .........i dont care. But in this forum, sure, i do.

Re: Teamwork Points....Health/Supply etc. Kinda annoying.

Very rarely will a legit medic rack up points and deserve all of them. Like next to every situation he revived someone (2points) it was at any danger, and the newly revived soul made it out of any danger alive (e.g. actually made it off the ground). Because I don't mind this too much as it has only happened to me a handful of times, I let it slide. But one thing I really don't like is waiting 15seconds to spawn, getting to that last second, pressing enter to choose weapon and oOh nice attacking positZAP! ah, where am I, oh sh*t! BOOM! tanked.. another 15seconds before I can spawn again, this time I'm glad I was "killed".
I'm a combat medic, I prefer to follow my squad leader, attacking where nessecary, dropping med packs, reviving out of obvious danger teammates (if I can, I will single shot shoot down the sniper first, or burst anyone else). Everyone likes at least one meds in a team. I will be happy to allow the Med to have his points if I've ever seen him shoot, or knife, or defib (3pointer haha) an enemy.
The unfairity is, maps such as karkand, it is a constant massacre between USMC and MEC in the opening scene, only leaving any bloodsucking med to Zap up everyone during a grenade rain. If you've done a good Job I will announce Thanx buddy :)
Too bad that doesn't have a sarcasm side..

Well, thaqt is pretty weird. Since day 1 I noticed that when I got killed and didn't click the fire button all was quiet, I would then double click and hear "medic ,medic". I guess that was also changes, no biggie.

Ah I've had that before too, but most of the time I die I yell medic!
Even at the end of a round my game will yell medic before the **** won scene

Re: Teamwork Points....Health/Supply etc. Kinda annoying.

I always play medic and i think i never seen someone "just go for medic"
In most rounds when im trying i get more kills than anyone, and am usually in the top. I revive so many people and I a rarely ever get revived. When I do I am so happy. I dont go out of my way to be a "medic", I'll lay packs when im going from flag to flag or I see someone is red. Often I drop packs nearby someone in red but they are too stupid to see it and run away. As for reviving, I have put my life on the line often and die sometimes(something which I highly avoid now(putting my life infront of someone elses). I dont do it for points I do it to help team out and I know most people are thankful for it. Also, If im playing AT or something and I see a dead medic. If situation allows, i will ALWAYS take his kit and revive him (and his buddies). Which I have seen rarely done for me. I dont believe I get enough "thanks".
Oh well.

for fun my stats are:
Heal 625
Revive 1,541

As a Medic
kills 3,814 deaths:1,923 KDR: 1.9834
SPM 2.8329

Compare that with your stats then cry.
