First aid . . . No point?

Re: First aid . . . No point?

Correct.

No. I healed my buddy like 2 or 3 times in a period of 1 minute and I got all of the points.

I appreicate the responses, however with all due respect, actually READ my original post CAREFULLY, then read my replies. This issue has nothing to do with the time limit on how much you can heal a SINGLE person.

Let me make this a little clearer. I find a server, join it. 1 minute into the game, I see someone needs health, as their bar is down to about 10-15%. I throuw them a med pack, they pick it up, get full health, and I get NOTHING. Note, this is the FIRST time throwning a med pack in the round.

The limit has nothing to do with it. I believe it works the same as the repair point. You need to heal a combination of people for 100% in order to get a point.

Re: First aid . . . No point?

I read somewhere (of course I can't find it now) that it gives you a point for giving out 100% health - that is, you heal someone up 90%, you don't get a healing point until you go out and heal someone another 10%. Can anyone confirm or correct me?

That is correct. It was ALWAYS like that.

I think that's the case and also how repair points work. Healing and repairing are carried over to the next person healed/object repaired until you get a point.

Exactly.

Say that 100% is actually 100HP. As I understand it, to get a healing point you need to heal 100HP. So, when that guy picked up your med kit, you only got 85HP, which isw 15HP shy of the 100 required for the heal.

The next guy you heal, say you heal him for 50HP. That means you have a total of 135HP healed and you get a point. When you cross the 200HP barrier, you will get another point.

The only exception I know to this is that in patch 1.03 they put in a gaurd against stat padding so you can only get a certain number of points from healing or reviving someone in a short period of time. I have healed/resupplied and revived my squad many a time and I have NEVER noticed it not giving me the points from it. I really think you have to be REALLY stat padding for this to kick in.

What I don't understand is how I will be following a guy as a medic and he is down to 15HP and he doesn't take the med pack! That drives me mad.
