Death Before Revive

[Yoster]

This is actually really starting to bother me. Who else thinks that this is something that Dice needs to get onto?


The old system is fine. Everyone is happy, and gets what they deserve, the medics do a bit more than usual sometimes, running out reviving people in the middle of crossfire, and even though they dont count as deaths, people get pissed.

Now they have something to really get pissed over. Of course medics will still try to carelessly rack up points, the only thing this new system has done is remove the reward factor to the poor soul getting revived.

Playing for 4 years, I can say I have no problem knowing a person I killed got revived and did not get a death, as long as I have my credit for killing him, the only thing I'm pissed about is him getting back up. So this system seems pointless, I would usually like to opt and respawn since I feel once I get an official death my mission is over. I would honestly not be surprised if this whole issue was just a bug, and the death counter jumps the trigger.

IMHO people should just be happy that they are a able to stay on the frontline and fight for the cause.
Tickets, however, should not be lost.

But sometimes being revived on the frontline is not a good thing, and the death just makes it even more of a crappy situation than it is, It just seems like a flawed decision.

The way I see this is that if you care about this, then it is because you care about your K/D. And if you want to use that as a measure of you skill then you have to accept that you did in fact get killed.

There are times where you would rather not have been revived, but that is a separate point from the death issue.

Helps bring down overinflated KDR; so it's fine.

There goes Vreki again... trying to be all modest and what not. "I don't mind being revived when my counter is at 1 and my next spawn point will be vital because I'm spawning to help a teammate *BAM REVIED n GETS SHOT TO DEATH(almost like robocop part 1)but hey as long as I post pone a ticket count for 20 seconds". "You people and your K/d issues tsk tsk tsk why can't you folks be like me, get revived and get killed"

I think it should have been like the other bf's, having a death after being saved from death is very dumb. Especially since you can die again after... Infact you can die multiple times in one life, it's amazing!

You know how it is: What is another year when you are already old? What is another death when your K/D already sucks?

Re: Death Before Revive

this ain't an issue if you're not concerned with your KDR.
