Re: Cheap to kill a "just-revived" player?

I think its ok because the medic should look around before reviving someone. I would never revive a teammate unless I know the guy or armor that just killed him is still around.

Though its fun, specialy in a dead pile of soldiers, when the medics dont even notice me and I just knife each one he revives till I stab the medic lol

Exactly, this is why I always aim for the medic first. I want to save his squad mates from being victimized so that he can get 2 points.

Yeap, that's the way I handle it.

Heh. How about looking away from the ground for bodies, figuring out who just killed your teammate, and taking him out first so that none of your other teammates get killed. Or are you so used to looking at the ground that you cannot lift your mouse that high anymore? Psst.. the sky is still blue..

I think you missed my point. I wasn't talking about a one on one or two on one situation where you are at some far away flag. In that situation i will always check for danger, or the enemy that downed you. If he is not in my radius i will quickly revive you and make my search further.

The situation i meant was a firefight. 5-10 men on each side shooting from across a wide area. e.g. Gatehouse to train accident or square to hotel (regularly happens). So by your logic you expect a medic to take out 5-10 men across a wide area all in 15 seconds in time to revive you? Sometimes you have to take a risk, Paddles, get up fast and run for cover. In my experience 8/10 people will reach cover alive. For me they sound good odds.

Please don't revive me ever.

Next time i see you on your ***, screaming for a medic, i'll stand over your corpse with my paddles out

Re: Cheap to kill a "just-revived" player?

I was just curious what the BF2 community thinks about killing a player that just revived. You know, when a medic revives someone, they are on the ground for a good 1-2 seconds so you can get an easy kill. It is almost like spawn camping since the player cannot react. One time I got 3 kills off someone continually being revived. Is this cheap?

Actually the problem lies with the Medics who revive you in direct line of fire--it's called being stupid for a point or two. Any medic who revives you in the line of fire is just an ***! (my stars)

Re: Cheap to kill a "just-revived" player?

no, not at all. if the medic is enough of an a$$ to revive a friendly directly in ur line of fire kill him and the medic that revived him. then go teabag the medic.

Absolutely not cheap. I actually love to see medics dive down to try to res someone when I'm really close; I'll dive with them with the knife out and hope for two kills.

Unless you are the one doing the reviving, then no. :p

I play to have fun, but also for my team to win. If that means downing a just-revived enemy player, then so be it.

Re: Cheap to kill a "just-revived" player?

Im not reading all of it, but to answer the OPs question, If your alive Im gonna kill you. Just revived, getting revived, you and your medic are dead. If its unethical then I guess in this case my ethics are questionable.

Sometimes, I wait until they get revived then I jump in and start stabbing .

Re: Cheap to kill a "just-revived" player?

It's a great help to your points in a round. Being that most medics with paddles out already will do everything just to get that 2 point revive, as getting those 2 points will be harder than 2 points to kill you, they'll do it. So occasionally I'll open a close range clip AFTER he has revived them and walk away with 4 unmovable points (e.g. teampoints can go down again).
Cheap? No, if he had the chance to walk he could become a threat to you or any of your team points, better to send him back into the 15sec zone.
Just like spawn killers are cheap because they hang around those points. If a squad has someone guarding all spawn points while 2 others are on flag, then it's ok. Else, no attempt at flag? then there is a cheap sticker!

Re: Cheap to kill a "just-revived" player?

should it also be uncool to kill someone with their ammo bag out, or a pistol, or god forbid, reloading? Maybe I can type to them "let me know when ur ready so I can shoot"

Its war, killing the enemy actually helps your team win. Can't tell you how many GL kills I've gotten shooting someone crossing the street, and then switching to the gl to pick up the medic and the fallen soldier right after he revivied him.

this isnt dm, there is no cheap.

Re: Cheap to kill a "just-revived" player?

It's your JOB to kill the enemy - perhaps especially in Conquest.

However, if you wait for the medic to revive instead of killing the medic, you are basically wasting time getting personal stats.

You're objective is to bring your team to victory by being as effective and efficient as you can. If you can kill the medic and stop the revive, you are more quickly able to move on to the next challenge. If you do not kill the medic when you could, you are wasting time and keeping yourself from controbuting elsewhere. Basically you are taking more time to accomplish the same thing than you have to.

Cheers :-)

Re: Cheap to kill a "just-revived" player?

Like said earlier, it's the medic's fault for reviving without looking around first, i do it all the time, and i love it(killing medics and their recently revived buddies). When it's done to me, i blame the medic that revived me, not the guy who shot me.. sheesh, IM RED.
