Headshots & Medics

[imported_Neptune]

with everyone going prone on karkand and whatnot, ive recently been aiming for the head instead of the center body mass. I've stopped playing support, and im pure paramedic now. I use the g36e, yeah what a surprise. I get much more kills now. Im focusing on accurate-as-hell weapons now, any gun that has the chance to miss just seems inferior now, even the AK-101 believe it or not. It seems like a garbage gun. Any gun that has a wider crosshair settings than the l85a1 just seems useless now. I always knew the g36e was good, but not THIS GOOD. I realize now that the medic is too good of a kit now, and i think they should equip it with a almost useless weapon like engineer and anti-tank, to make it one of "those" classes (of course, this will only happen when chickens fly, EA ). This would force medicers to focus on keeping their teammates alive, and maybe we will see more assault troopers out there .

So im sad to say that im now a m[E]dic whore, but hey, it keeps me busy on the battlefield!

Re: Headshots & Medics

When I come across someone on an IO server, and we are both standing, I stay standing, and aim at there feet, and normally get a headshot as they dive to the ground.....if they stay standing, I aim for the crotch area, and let my bullets travel up the the head. And I think it is funny to shoot people in the crotch.

BTW, there is nothing wrong with being a "medic whore" if that is how you like to play the game, that is how you like to play the game. And you obviously do not use the Engy and AT kit enough if you find all there weapons worthless...

*EDIT* BTW again, I hate the G36E, cannot kill crap with it apparently....give me the L85, or the base weapons...except the -47, I hate that freaking gun to...

The trite medic appreciation/loathing post.

edit: I knew there had to be at least one this week. You're a bit late, it's Friday.

Think EA should leave the classes as they are, every time things change they are never for the better!!

As far as whoring is concerned, an experienced AT guy will win a CQB over any other class, as will an experienced assault, sniper, engy etc etc, it's about what your comfortable using.

The reason Medic is the most popular class is points for killing, healing and reviving.....points mean prizes:)

Im going for all the expert badges at the mo, got 11 so need 9 more, Medic is one of the one's i havent got, never go medic as i go for KDR over points but having gone medic more recently to get the hours in i've found the AK-101 a FAR better and well rounded weapon than the G36E

Everyone plays differently, part of BF2's appeal.

Did you ever realize G36E is M16 with different model and animations? but yeah, only headshots count.

are you kidding me ? use the G36E and get one mile headshots without iron sights and try and do the same with the M16.

Owning G36E whores with default guns is one of the the most satisfying things on the game

Re: Headshots & Medics

the best thing about bf2 is that no particular gun "owns" all the others. The g36e is accurate with a good fire rate, but its not a one headshot kill gun. The ak101 is more powerful, but with a lot of spread on full auto.

i use the g36e because i like accuracy, i also like sniping (not clamores)... thats just the type of player i am. some people like more powerful guns, some like more accurate, and some like higher firing rate; it just depends on the player.

And for all of you who think that medic is no good for kdr, check out some of my xfire screens of scores from io rounds. http://www.xfire.com/screenshots/flippydotcom/

i often get 3-4 to one kdrs as medic with best combat and teamwork at the end of the round. medic is good for points, kills, and helping your team, but only if you're good. its not medic whoring that gets me points, its skill. I can get plenty of kills as assault or sniper too, but i prefer having the ability to keep my team moving by reviving them.
you cant beat a team if you cant kill the players.

Re: Headshots & Medics

i get sick of IO basically coz all that happens to me is

a) barrage of nades
b) belly dancing medics with G-36E's

i was thinking to myself as i was killing/being killed "how crap would some people become if they completley nerfed the G-36E secretly"

Re: Headshots & Medics

Personally I dont like the G36E. I use the L85A1 almost all of the time. I just love the scope on that thing. The G36E is still a great gun.

Re: Headshots & Medics

I need some much practice on my one/one gunfights ... I mostly play as a medic with the unlock weapon but always seem to get shot easily.. still trying to figure out what the trick is
