Revive/Death System Annoying?

Re: Revive/Death System Annoying?

Beuh, no ticket saving when you revive someone, why would I risk my life to revive someone if it's (almost) not even helping my team. I'll always try to revive everbody near me, but some people don't because they don't care.

What's the point of reviving someone in you squad? Points I guess, because otherwise he can just spawn with you again.

Re: Revive/Death System Annoying?

Im starting to wonder if this death thing is a bug now. Earlier i was on a kill streak of 7, i died and then got revived a little later and killed a guy to get the 8 kill streak pin? So kill streaks carry over even if you "die"?? All a bit odd to me.

Also i agree with MrChris, its really annoying having the invincibility straight away revive thing. The amount of times i have killed 2 players but the medic revived someone only to have me pump fairy floss at them.

Weird on the first count and I agree on the second. Although, I usually like to wait for the medic to revive someone just for the extra kill (I can't tell you how many times I sat and killed the same guy over and over again in BF2142 while some stupid medic revived him from around a corner :laugh:) .

Re: Revive/Death System Annoying?

You lose a ticket when someone dies, but it gets refunded when they get rezzed. It still counts as a death in your stats but that means **** all to anyone other than people who are concerned about their KDR. My suggestion to appease both those people and the people (like me ) who find it amusing that all the people who used to toss themselves off to their stats can't roll in four-man medic squads and end up with awesome KDRs every round simply because they get rezzed every time they drop, is to change the system back to the BF2/BF2142 style where it doesn't count as a 'death' until you actually respawn or are considered unrevivable, but have a separate stat that shows how many times you've been rezzed.

I miss those days. :eyebrows:

Honestly, I have so much trouble getting a KDR over 2. Once I finally got god in BF2142 it was fairly easy to get a KDR of 3 or higher on most maps. Now I struggle half the time to keep it above 1. D:

Yeah, I have rounds like that. I'm usually at a steady 1.5 right now in nearly every round I play so I still feel I'm more of an asset than a hindrance to the team, but I do have rounds where I get completely schooled and others like the other day where I went 18/1 just whoring the Remington on Atacama. It all evens out, though. In 2142, however, you didn't have the 40mm nade with the explosives perk, and as annoying as the PK rockets could be, they were seldom an issue for me because I was almost always on the move so I wouldn't sit back and eat the 2-3 it took to die. I find myself dying to rockets and the 40mm in this game far more than I ever did to the explosives in 2142.

Re: Revive/Death System Annoying?

I too feel Deaths should not be counted if you get revived.

For a game that bases itself around a pretty large Stat System, they should know that people wouldn't take fondly with getting a death tacked on, even though they get revived.

I hate it, because it kills my KDR, and my squad is full of Medics. The only positive thing about Medics now in a players standpoint is they get you up quicker than the 10 second wait.

Re: Revive/Death System Annoying?

I feel guilty about reviving people now. I've never been the one to complain about being revived, but i'm starting to hate being revived and being killed 3 times in a row. It happened to me yesterday because i had no more ammo and i kept getting revived and killed.

My general strategy now is that as soon as I'm revived to start sprinting for cover as fast as I can.

Thats been my strategy since BF2. I'm also aware of my surroundings (who is around me) so there's rarely a time that I get revived off gaurd.

I'm thankful for every revive I get and would never complain. Its amazing the amount of people who don't revive even though they are playing the medic class. When I'm a medic, i'm constantly reviving. That won't change regardless of whether the person wants to be revived or not.

I think part of that is because they might not have unlocked the paddles yet.

which is quite annoying... it's not even like the 1-2 unlock...it's quite a ways into the medic tree

Re: Revive/Death System Annoying?

Deaths should count as they do now, just because there's nothing more frustrating than to play on a horribly losing side and see opponents getting revived non-stop. Stats should be based on how well you can stay alive and shoot, not on how many buddy medics you have running with you.

That said, revives as they are now can be extremely irritating, if you end up dying several times in a row or are revived without ammo, etc. Here's how I would solve this: once you die, have a big "RESPAWN" button in the middle of you screen, that once pressed, makes you un-revivable.

Re: Revive/Death System Annoying?

I kinda wish they didn't have KDR in this game..

NO! NO! NO!

Gosh, the ideas some people come up with!!! :shakehead:

If you don't like being revived then stop dying. Its amazing what people can find to complain about.
