    Do Not Resuscitate Option

    I just posted this in the DICE Question section and would like to know how you all feel about it.

    "While playing Sharqi lately I have run into a common problem. I die and would like to spawn else where but I am revived and killed about 5-10 times before medics stop reviving me. I think it would be a fantastic option if, after being revived 2 times by a medic you could issue a do not resuscitate (DNR) order by clicking the right mouse button while dead. This would prevent medics from getting complete denial of revive points, but it would prevent the annoyance of having a medic revive you several times during an artilery strike or intense fire fight where you live for literlally one second. I would absolutely love to have a DNR option added to the game. Oh yes, make sure to have it be a toggle just in case someone accidentally hits the right mouse button. I suppose it would also be necessary for the DNR option to be visable for medics approaching corpses. I suggest that where you would normally see the lightning icon to show a dead soldier, you could replace it with a the same icon but with the classic red cirle with a slash through it icon. This way medics would know not to waste their time with someone who has decided to turn on their DNR option after two revives. Obviously this would reset everytime someone fully died and respawned. Please consider this option."

      I also forgot to stress how frustrating it is when you want to spawn on your squad leader who is about to capture a far off point, or when you want to spawn on a new point that you know is under attack. It really ticks me off when I work so hard to sneak to the east side on karkand as USA and then my squad can't make it because they get revived for five miuntes over at hotel.

        Yeah... did you thought of simply 'not clicking' the left mouse button to call a medic?

          I usually play as a medic, and I try to keep everyone around me alive if I can. I think a DNR option would be nice, perhaps it would show up as a different symbol on the radar. That way I would not risk getting killed to get to you.
          When it is a tough fire fight you need to keep certain people (anti tank, commander, squad leader) alive to try to hold the spot. I know what you mean though, several times I have wanted to spawn elsewhere.

          I am not sure that is enough, esp when things are very busy.

            Don't look at the revives as something they do just for you (unless you're in their squad). Likely, the medic is reviving you for points for himself and to save the team a ticket. Don't be selfish and cost your team a ticket just because you don't want to be revived. And yes, every single ticket does matter, games have been lost by 1 ticket.

              Unfortunately, the medic has no idea that you dont want to be revived.
              I've had countless times where I've revived someon who called for a medic, then have them angrily type " OmFG N00B! W teh F! uR suc a gh3y! omgz!11!"

              If being revived is really that much of a problem for you, click the "suicide" button

                  Ive been revived and shot right away more times than I can count, and as a medic I am sure Ive made the same mistake even more times than that.

                  I think its a great idea, lately I have been holding back and making the call myself to not run in and revive someone because its obviously pointless in the situation.

                  Edit: A good medic should be able to make the call 90% of the time, but it sometimes happens that they dont see an enemy poised to shoot.

                    You should be able to press assault charges if you have DNR set and they try to revive you.

                      Would be a good idea. I hate when I'm a kit, let's say sniper, and a tank is around and i get killed and medics keep reviving me and i can't respawn to kill the tank.

                          If you don't like being revived, hit Enter, and push the Suicide button. ONLY time that doesn't apply is when you're pinned.

                            thats it folks

                            when your critically wounded - hit enter and theres a suicide function in the lower right - click it and watch the medic try and try to revive you. and then get shot

                              But doesn't that take points from you or not when you have been critically wounded?
