Re: Only a few of us left...

For those of you who say they play medic and don't drop med packs and revive alot, why play it at all? A medic's job is to do just that. Reviving keeps tickets on the board so you are helping your team win by doing so.

Re: Only a few of us left...

I never play medic. I can't be bothered to put my *** on the line to try and save some punk that will only tk me the very next time he jumps into a vehicle and burns out on a solo mission of self inflicted pain. I don't call for medics either. I figure if I got caught, I can just take the re-spawn time and rethink my plan of attack.

On a side note, no matter how you word it, you will always sound like and arrogant prick when you assume people's skill level based on rank. It is bad form and generally should be avoided in gentile conversation. The other side of your coin would be that I would rather play with people with less than 10K points because people with high ranks are all stat padders. BOTH arguments are complete rubbish and do nothing but make assumptions and cast aspersions where none exist.

Re: Only a few of us left...

Because it's cheap. That's my reason i don't play it. I know it helps the team, i know it's the best goddam kit out there because it keeps tickets and they can kill anyone VERY easily. I know they get grenades which are about 3X more powerful than a GL nade. I know they have regenerating health. I know they can see who died and therefore make judgements on whats going on. I know they get loads of points for reviving and healing.

That is why i don't like playing the kit, all that = far too cheap for my standards. The lowest i usually go is using a dead enemy medics kit to re-heal myself. Sometimes if i'm almost about to rank up i'll whore the medic kit to get the rank quickly out of the way. Easy stuff.

Re: Only a few of us left...

I'm a major and play support most of the time. Medic is my second most played kit especially if I am a squad leader. Why do people hate medics so much. I know if sucks to be killed right after being revived but I know that when I hear a medic coming I am ready to take off running because he probably did kill what just killed me. As far as the self healing, its and advantage they have and if you can't bet it, do as they do.

Re: Only a few of us left...

i played 45 hours by medic, and now i avoid that kit, i much prefer support, specops. but it depends of map i play, when its kubra dam for example i love to play engineer :), on citimaps suport, specops, or AT

Re: Only a few of us left...

Well, I played the hell out of Medic. But for a lot of that time, I needed all the help I could get for scoring because my computer was below the minimum specs for BF2. Also, being an armor whore was the only way for me to really participate in the game at all.

But now that I am far beyond my 100 hrs as Medic, I have hung up my hat and I am endeavoring for what you are voicing. To kick everyone’s *** and get the top score without being a medic. Now, the thing is, if we are getting our asses handed to us and people are dying left and right, I will go medic. Mostly, because I can kill quickly, with good accuracy and then revive the two or three people lying at my feet.

I think there are too many kids right now that go for the +2 pt for revive instead of getting the +2 kill, +2 kill, +2 revive.

And now that I play assault more, I love medics beyond anything. Because killing one medic awards me +6 points; +2 for the initial kill, then I pull out the GL, and +2 for the Medic & +2 for the initially killed again = +6! Whoot!

Really though, I never play spec, AT, or support, but those kits are in the wings. Now that I am a 2nd Lieutenant, I really don’t care about pointing up. I am interested in using the rare kits to clean up the damage my stats got from medic whoring.

Yes, being a medic is bad for your health.

I would use the medic kit if it was just a plain kit without the heal/revive. I love the AK and hand nades. I will revive in safe places or throw some packs out in a nook. In case a teammate needs one and cover at the same time. I don't leave a path from flag to flag that people could walk on without hitting the ground. Or revive in the middle of fire fights or in front of tanks or choppers etc. Until all the enemy is dead or gone that I can tell.

Re: Only a few of us left...

Medic is the best class as infantry because you can do a lot of different things.
1. Revive people
2. Heal yourself and others
3. Kill just as fast as any other class

No other kit offers the killing/teamwork factor that the medic class does.

The only reason to play another class is to take out armor, in which case I'll switch to AT or jihad as Spec Ops.

Re: Only a few of us left...

ya they gave medics really unbalanced gun's they should of gotten sub machinegun style weapons pretty much anti tank should have the guns medic's have and vice versa

anyway I mostly play support just like it the best a friend of mine in my clan that plays mostly medic has like 50,000 kills to 20,000 deaths so he is one medic that I can saftly say dosn't just whore up the heal/revive points

The Revives/heals? or... the kill/deaths?

I rarely revive anyone, unless they are in my squad or laying there right in front of me. I also don't spam medpacks.

Well, I if you look at all the graphs at BF2s, you will see I had a real slump, but I have been pulling myself out of it since I bought a new computer. I think if I had the machine I have now, back at the release, I would have very sharp stats. I got addicted to just being a medic, and realized I needed to kill stuff. And you can see when I came to that realization. I know for sure that if I kept playing medic now, I could turn that kit completely around, without using commander.

Kills 6,290
Deaths 7,865
K/D 0.7997
Time 165:53:54

Heal 2,675
Revive 4,849

Re: Only a few of us left...

It looks like some of you missed the point, I think, Peoplekillingmachine was going for. He wanted to know if you are any good at the least played kits, AT, Assualt, and maybe sniper. I have over 1000 hours and around 200 hours with all three of the kits mentioned (AT, Assualt, Sniper). I also have over 700 hours as lone wolf, not because I prefer that but because I can rarely find someone who can or will hang with me.
Peoplekillingmachine is also right that there arent many who will go and die when thats the only way to take the Tank or Attack Chopper out. Ive even got to where I can take out the Attack chopper with the Tank. Not an easy task, trust me. Hes also right about the points you get, not many, doing this kinda stuff. However the effect it has on your skill level is remarkable. I can now take on 3 players with lower skill levels and kill them all and can see if its possible before I jump in there and get killed. There are many players with more, better skills but they are harder to find these days. . . . . . . . . . Red

*maybe we need to start a 1000 hour club. Just a thought.
