Ashamed to live in Miami... Dan Marino needs to be revived by a Karkand medic, speaking of medics- this is a guide to them. Neat how I tied that in, huh?
In this game I find there are two basic scenarios a "critically wounded" person will experience with a medic.
1. The medic will continually revive you in the middle of a street, despite the fact that your lifespan lasts several milliseconds due to an enemy armored convoy sitting on your head.
2. Three medics are all within 5 feet of you, you are in a sheltered and safe position- yet they are all overcome with a sudden urge to open fire with their recently unlocked G36Es at a distant supply crate.
However- you do not have to be one of those idiotic medics yourself. In fact, you can be the medic that twirls around balancing a plate of ownage along with a dish of shock paddles.
The actual tips (and more lame attempts to get a laugh out of you...)
You can't revive anyone if your dead, so don't die! What do I mean? I mean this: we all love to charge in first and waste those two guys in the little building- of course that third guy always gets you, or the seconds guys claymore or your team-mates frag grenade. SO: Let your mates get the crap blown out of them, then calmly follow them in, finish off the enemies and revive them.
Which brings me to my second point- always kill the enemy if they provide an immediate threat to you or the person you are reviving. This does not include people 500 meters away down to their knife- it means people who could kill you or the person you are saving. So, clear the immediate threats out (1), then make the revive (2), then engage non-threatening enemies (3).
I figure this is as good a place to mention it as any, so... you can swap kits with a dead medic (the aforementioned medic in the first tactics paragraph). This is a smart tactic- so often ignored, however please use it.
Don't coat random areas with medpacks- it drains your revives and heals your enemies. Use medpacks if you are engaged in battle, digging in to a position, or healind someone- not to see the pretty colors.
You can revive people while standing or crouched. However, a quick prone dive followed by a hop (to get you back standing) should not be regarded as a stupid tactic. It minimizes your profile to any enemies that you "forgot" to kill.
If you miss a rez by misaiming, switch to your gun and switch back, this gets rid of the animation and lets you revive them faster. If you miss a revive because they are stuck in something, throw a medpack at them and try again. If you miss twice then give them a quick teabag and move on to the next victim.
Some random combat tips: bunnyhop, crouch spam, and prone roll in and out of cover no matter what the realism junkies say about an Uncle Sam's soldiers ability to spring around like a kangaroo who just ate too much birthday cake. In CQC, never go prone before the first guy. Forget about iron-sights at anything less than 100 meters, they're all screwed up anyways. Tossing medpacks threw a door and chasing them through can give you that extra beef (beef? that doesn't make any sense...) of health when you engage the enemy waiting for you. Always paddle enemies that stack medpacks around them- it is the only sure fire way to not be defeated by their nearly limitless health.
'Sides that, you'll have to figure some stuff out yourself.
Leave me alone, I'm signing on to the Patriots band-wagon...
