Re: To whom it may concern.

You point to the main problem with the way IO (and infantry combat in general) is handled by BF2. Lets give everyone superhuman sprint distance to further enhance the Medic class. Get hit, no problem, just run away to a safe hole and throw down a medic bag.

I play for fun, but I have a preferred kit (Spec Ops) that I use for regular BF2. I also seem to play alot of AT on regular as well. My clan has been on an IO kick recently, so I've had to play that more often than vanilla. My solution: pick whatever the hell kit I want to have fun. I've got all of the unlocks I want, so I'll pick something that will either be entertaining or help out the team.

On IO, I play medic about half the time, and usually only when the squad doesn't have enough of them. I've played every class on IO, and I usually have the most fun when I'm not playing medic. Here's what I play on different cases and why (again referring to IO, I play these kits for a different purpose on vanilla):

Spec Ops: lay C4 traps at flags and at choke points to stop advances and prevent enemy from retaking flag
Sniper: act as "assault marksman" (especially with SVD) for advancing squad, lay claymores at flags for defense
Assault: love it on IO, use the F2000 to flashbang all those medics, noobtube them as they revive someone, and rip through people with the rifle
Support: spam grenades on the mass of medics, set up ambush position with PKM
Engineer: pump shotgun, very entertaining, brings back the satisfaction from older games like Doom
AT: use the rocket like a sniper rifle, watch medics try to revive those that cannot be revived, rip through people with the P90 or semi-auto shotgun.
Medic: one man assault of flag, help out squad

IO would be great if the following things happened:
1) don't allow medics to heal themselves
2) don't allow support to rearm themselves/limit grenades to one at a time
3) eliminate claymores, require manual use like C4, and/or remove them when the sniper dies
4) eliminate the superhuman sprint distance

People who don't practice versatility are the ones who complain the nerf bat comes; simply because they fail without an advantage.

Re: To whom it may concern.

In IO, I will usually play medic, simply because it's the best class... But I also use egineer when I'm US. Bunny hopping + Shotty = Easy kills

I also like to use AT in IO, just because it's fun to SRAW people. But I still use mostly medic.

Re: To whom it may concern.

Man I don't know, recently I've been playing Assault, and I still do very well. I usually get more kills than any tank whore or medic. Sure I may have a bit more deaths but I don't care :) I don't want to be stuck to using just one gun, Assault + that default gun = fun

To whom it may concern,

How do you go every round playing the same class...and of course its medic.
As soon as I enter the server and check the ranks I know all the higher ones like you will be medic every round..doesnt it get boring?
Have you ever felt the excitement of beign the only one brave enough to be an infantry engy? Ever use Spec Ops other then to jihad? Ever use sniper to snipe...just to not claywhore it up, or use as an ejector for the vehicle you "own"?
Did it ever cross your mind you could get those class time and kill badges out of a vehicle? Is having 100 team points, self heals, and a god like gun more fun then spiceing things up with changing your class? Did your copy of Bf2 come with one class option? I can understand the guys under 50k needing points for guns...but whats the point of continuously being the same god class or sitting in the same vehicle..2 hours straight..
You just spent a whole round going 50-1 TV'ing every living thing on the map..you just spent a whole round revivng every person on your team 5 times and insta killing with your 36E/AK....You just proved that no creature on earth will stop your J-10 from raping every land, sea, and worhtless carrier on the map....seriously was it fun doing that over, and over, and over, and over..again..every single round.

Thanks..

Why not just worry about your self? Did that ever cross your mind? Just because you don't find it fun, doesn't mean others don't. I agree that playing the same class all the time gets boring, but whatever floats your boat.

FYI, I play the medic class, a LOT. Why? Because I join squads and stick with my squad leader - usually he is not a medic and it is just us two, because the other 'members' are off going at it lonewolf. If the squad is playing as a squad and there are already medics, or the squad leader is a medic, then I'll pick another class - Anti-tank or support, usually. AT is almost always needed because of the number of tanks and heli you are facing off against. Same for support if you have a couple of AT guys in the squad.

I don't really care for spec-ops because they are are not as useful when in a squad that is moving from point to point capturing objectives. Same with sniper. For whatever reason, I don't like the assault class. Maybe because it is just a 'generic' soldier with nothing that really makes it stand out.

Engineer is a nice change, but usually only when commander assets need repaired (because no one seems to do this). On wide open maps like Wake or Dragon Valley, or pretty much anything but Karkand, engineers aren't much fun to play because they have no range. I don't drive heavy vehicles (APC/TANKS) a lot because they are plane, helo, and AT magnets. I mainly use light vehicles to get from point A-to-B, so I don't spend a lot of time repairing. If I could get a gun with better range for the engineer, I might use it more.

Yes, I get bored playing medic sometimes, but I'm also concentrating on helping my team win. If that is what they need to win, that is what I'll do.

Re: To whom it may concern.

I agree 100% with the guy that started this topic, its sad..
Nowadays on ANY SERVER I PLAY ON. At least 75% of the medics on the server arent rezzing, these stupid, oxygen wasting, T-bagging, bunny hopping, dolphin diving sacks of horse dung. I myself feel that USMC's default assault is the best gun in the game, I swear, 7/10 I beat anyone fighting me. My hit/miss ratio with the grenade launcher now is probably 6.5/10 and going up, the m16 has the semi auto which is really nice and accurate and is great for headshots on enemy snipers, the burst is good for close-medium range fighting and the GL is great for any situation, from getting that annoying sniper out a bush from 50 feet away, hitting a wall/crate like object right next to the sniper as he camps the roof tops to giving a little bit more of a boost to those bunny hopping noobs who think they're so "l33t". To those of you who approve of/use/endorse bunny hopping, I want you to die a slow and gruesome death, preferabbly in a fire or through copious amounts of poison.
TY for your time.

PS: I find it amusing how all these people are posting, making up sad, half-*** reasons as to why they're medic whoring is acceptable.

O2zi3: I play medic alot cos there's more to do.
What the hell are you talking about? Engineer can repair and lay landmines.
Medic has shock paddles and medkits, I see 2 abilities each.

RingPirate: I get most of my fun out of having intense fire fights on the ground. So for me that means alot of city maps and a alot of time being medic since medics are the superior infantry class. I don't really revive much.

Thats the purpose of a medic, you can go kill your self now.

Worst...excuse....ever..... on most squads that arent squadding for heli/armor all I see is medics. *stabs*

Go,kill,yourself, poison your self..ANYTHING, just KILL YOUR SELF. Jesus, bunny hopping has reached epidemic proportions.

Re: To whom it may concern.

Its because the better players play in leagues and matches.

There are no unlocks in CAL or TWL, and if you have 5 or 8 people on your team, you want to be able to revive your teammates. Trying playing with some of the better players on BFPro, you will see that everyone goes medic, not because it's the easiest way to get kills, but it helps out your team the most.

I guess a lot of people aren't team players on infantry only, someone being engineer would be foolish, because as soon as you meet someone 20yds away, you don't have a chance.

Spec Ops is also pointless because the chances of you running all the way back to their main base to destroy the UAV and satellite trailer are unlikely.

I'm just saying that it is more teamwork oriented than point oriented when playing competitive.

Re: To whom it may concern.

Recently I've been playing nothing but 24/7 Ghost Town servers, as a Spec-Ops.

That's because the assets are stationary, and cannot fire back.

I find it amuzing how someone comes on here who's been a medic most of the time and tells others why medic whoring should be unacceptable.

I know what the medic kid's been designed for, I play it differently...

PS: I fail to see why fun is a half-a$$ed, sad reason for doing something in a game.

Re: To whom it may concern.

I've been playing a lot more AT lately and sniper I used to medic whore a little, so I could get gold medals, but what ev'.

Pretty good rant Reborn, I agree with alot of what you said. However, don't lump everyone who plays with the medic kit into the group of "T-bagging, bunny hopping, dolphin diving sacks of horse dung." When I say that my squad doesn't have enough of them, I mean at least one to two for a 5-6 man squad. If you don't have at least two medics on a 6-man IO squad you're just asking for your squad to get wiped out. You have to have someone revive you when the rambo-sniper runs in the middle of the firefight to throw down two claymores for his easy kills...

When I play medic, I know my primary goal is to keep people alive. There's nothing more irritating in the game than shouting "Medic!" only to have 3 of them run right over you to get their next kill.

The good part about having dead enemy medics all over the place is that I know that if I get hurt, I can grab one of their kits, throw down some med packs, and pick mine back up.

Examin how many rezz's and heals I have? and yes I did play medic for a very long time when I first got bf2, my last 20 hours of gameplay have been more assult than anything else.

PS: I find it highly amusing how you spelled amuzing.

Tell more people to kill themselves. You seem like one of those smelly kids that doesn't shower, has ugly *** friends, and has greasy hair and wears those pants with the chains and ****.

PS: I'm glad you resurrect ("rezz") people with shock paddles. Also check out dictionary.com for the word "assault", there is an A in there somewhere.
