Medics. Do they exist?

Please get PROPER revival sorted out.  Get smoke cover and quick revive like bfv.  Or one over a distance like bf4.  I think I can count on one hand the number of times I was revived in any game because nobody wants to spend almost 15 seconds out in the open rubbing those horrible paddles only to get shot. Either have a proper effective revive or don't have it at all.

    Agreed @RacialAdhesive- , and I wish those COD players just would buy the COD game and stay with that then instead, so the rest of us could get a well working Battlefield game!

    If it's COD you want, then think COD is probably even a better game than what BF2042 will be any time soon...?

    And now with the specialists and all soldiers, friends and foes, just looking the same.  Everybody playing the lonesome Rambo, with no medics and no ammo being shared around.  It's last man standing these days.  Btw, Apex Legend or Fortnite may be the better game, if that's what you want...?

    Battlefield has indeed lost it's own identity with BF2042...

    I would have if I known how to do it on PC and be able to do it to other people than my squad. 

  • Just play bf4 or bf1, not this chinese version of battlefield. 

  • There was virtually no obscuration in the beta, I’m not sure if that was deliberate by the devs to test out other aspects of combat, but that’s a huge component to not only being a medic but moving around the battlefield generally.  As mentioned, without obscuration the game lends itself to lazier play styles (camping snipers/tanks), which coupled with proxy sensors, makes it difficult to be strategic/close the gap on the battlefield. There’s no doubt there will be those abilities in the actual game (the recon ribbon mentions EMP and blind specifically) so hopefully they will play a bigger part.

    The  revive speed could be faster (easy fix for the devs if it’s needed), but unlike BFV you can revive from the prone, that with smoke should make the revives a little more common. 

    Devs need to do something about the healing pistol, just not effective, too hard to hit teammates to heal, it’s also not immediately obvious if teammates need health, I also was unsure a lot of the time if my darts were landing. Faster darts and more obvious indication that people need health would be a great start.

    @KillerB3asBeing a good medic in BF4 and especially BFV is a real speciality (never played other BF titles). Having a really good medic(s) in your squad/team is considered to be a massive advantage. As is having good infantrymen and support. And they've basically blown all of that out of the water without presenting a good alternative. So, now everyone almost seems to be not quite anything. It's just running around and shooting or camping and looking just like each other on either side. 
    I think CoD has that dull method perfected. I'm really hoping the final product is BF and not a product merely to woo back the losses made to CoD MW during the BFV disaster.

    Because I really want to play BF. Not Apex, etc.

      Agreed,

    I've been a medic since bf1942. They took everything that made it fun to be a medic away. We need to be able to revive people fast, throw out heals quick . There is no quick smoke to give cover fast enough. The paddles are to slow a medic should revive someone way faster then a different specialist/class. Should have left revive through shooting a syringe in the game I can barely get 2 revives before being run over or sniped. No crouch run, hard to tell when players are down or even if a medic is near by. Being a medic is running into the crazy and reviving as many people and killing a lot of enemies while healing all at once. If done correctly you take the zone and are a hero that's the exactment from being a medic. Where are all the rewards for playing like that. We need a score board that also reflects people playing the objective and there class/specialist. I was not expecting so many things to be left out from this game. They have done things like this before and should have built this game upon what they learned from before not repeat there mistakes. We have been let down big time. On the plus side this game has huge potential I still do have fun playing it and I believe if they listen to the community and add in a lot of things and after the bugs are fixed this will be an amazing game. 

  • @ColonelPara The biggest problem with reviving is that most people don't even care about anything except their own needs in game and they will run right by you and not bother even if it's completely safe to revive you. The players are idiots. That's the bigger problem.
