First aid . . . No point?

[jnick]

Alright so here's the deal. I've noticed a LOT of times I'll thorw first aid to someone with maybe 10% of heatlh left, or 3/4 of health, they pick up MY pack, and I don't get ANY points for it. What gives? I've been playing the game since release, and never had this issue until recently. I KNOW I'm not giving it to the same person to many times, as it'll happen the first time I throw a med pack in a round.

Could it be that when I approach the player, it starts to give him health before I throw it? Or SHOULD I be getting closer to the player so it does give him some health before I throw it?

Any ideas? It's hard to go for expert First Aid if you're not getting points for giving the health.

You need to give them 100 % health to get a point.

If a person picks up a health kit, that person gain 100% of health.

If you already have thrown one before to that guy and he picks up it, you dont get any points. EA changed to that in one of the patches to prevent padding.

Re: First aid . . . No point?

also, i think you have to give 100% health (like you heal one guy who has 10%, then you heal a guy next to him who has 90%, after the second guy you get the points, right?)

No idea on how they work the system, repair points are confusing as well, sometimes you repair something and no point comes up, but I think that for repairs you should get more then 1 point.

Anyway im trying to get my Veteran First Aid, and its hard because theres like 10 other medics on your team throwing medic bags all over the place.

Can you get a point for healing if you just run up to the person who has like 10% health or whatever and stand infront of them with the medic bag? and it heals them?

Yes, that is correct.

I know this. As I stated in my original Post, this is not the case as it can happen the FIRST time I throw a med pack in the round. Thanks for the suggestion anyway.

Yes, the system is quite messed up.

To prevent statpadding all they needed was more heavily admined servers.

Now I will be in a squad and will constantly give ammo to people that need it, and we aren't statpadding and I don't get any points.

This is how it always works in life, something is great and a few bad apples come in and ruin the fun (or some of it in this case).

They should also look at how much time you have to revive a downed man. By the time, I get to them they are usuallly gone.

I think you get plenty of time. Especially considering you get as many points for a revive as you do for a flag capture.

Yes, you actually get more points if you stand there holding your bag. If you throw your bag and someone picks it up, you get one point for a heal. If you hold on to your bag and heal someone, you get several points for the heal.

its a padding preventive issue that disables the points given when you heal the same person twice
