Question...

**hinder1371** · 10-20-07, 02:18 AM

Why are there so many medics that do not revive? There have been to many times that I have died and seen 4 medics around me when I call and not one revives. Now I know there are situations where you shouldn't revive or can't but all four of them couldn't have been busy enough to take 5 secs to revive someone.

Now I'm not the best medic but I'd like to think I do well trying to revive and heal everyone I see, but I have also noticed people only reviving people in their squads and really cant understand why people would do that, if it was conquest you're just hurting your team. And I know some people don't put the defib in there choice to use but I doubt every medic doesn't have a defib.

Sorry about this little rant but it is just really frustrating watching a medic walk away. :5

You might have run into some bad luck. Normally on this server I find that there are a LOT of people ready to toss a defib down and grab an extra point here and there.

It might of been bad luck but it has happened quite a lot over the past few weeks and today I just had to say something, even though today wasn't as bad as other days.

some medics don't carry defibs, but most do.

here is the thing that gets my goat. I can call out medic! multiple times in game, and have one right in front of me and will not drop a med hub. and this is not the first time it has happened. I figured it was a bad night one night. I am down to around 4 health and call out medic, I move to the closest medic. *note that I now show up on their hud with a + above my head. I keep calling medic, he turns around to face me and then turns back. no biggie there is bound to be someone useful around the corner, the next medic. Who is now sprinting away. when I catch up I am still calling medic. I walk in front of him calling medic. and after I get that "What are you doing soldier? get off this channel!" message he drops a hub and then I get shot. (by the bad guys) 15 seconds later I am a medic, because all the ones we had were useless. I'd have to say it has only happened to me on about 3 nights or so, but it really drives me up the wall. I know they have a medic kit, I know it takes less than a second to drop one, I know it gets me points when I heal people. I cant see why those few times its happened I got no response.

hey Brudder...I'd drop ya a Med Bag.

Heck I even do to the other team .... If I hear the enemy call out for a medic after I kill them, I'll drop a Med Bag right on top them.

well there may be a time where it the medics life over yours when hes killing you, the medic may have forgotten they are a medic, or he is just an asshat trying to annoy you.

Dont worry I try and res and give med huds usually over my own life.

**FragRaptor** · 10-20-07, 09:13 AM

oh and call people out if they dont give you a hud say like RES ME or FRAGRAPTOR RES ME(name used as ex.).

I happens. There are some really good medics that spend most of the round reviving people and there are some that just like the rockets on the gun. The best way to avoid this is to get a good medic on your squad and when you VOIP them to res you, it usually happens.

Then there are stupid medics who res you in front of a corridor that is being nade spammed. GAAAH

I try to res any time, any place.. Yes, I will res you in the hall getting spammed with grenades. If on same squad, and it's hectic, I will usually call the person out and say get ready.. You've got a better chance than just waiting for the time to tick down. if you know it's coming, you can be ready to jump up and run out. Some die immediately, some make it to safety, our numbers stay higher thus chances are better. I'd say 90% of my points are from revives though so I do what I can.
