Re: Revive system idea (we need to change the system)

Well i mean that it would be for all classes, specially in tdm as it makes allot of difference if people dont die.

@NL-Chaos But not all classes can revive everyone. If you're not playing Support then you can only revive squadmates. Also, how would it account for people who die out in the open where attempting the revive could mean the medic dies too?

If you want to punish one class then all classes would need to be penalised for not playing their role.

I don't see how this would promote good game play. If they don't res me then they don't. I'm still going to res others no matter what, unless you fell in the line of fire then you are on your own.

I understand the frustration, as a Falak main seeing squadmates run past me is quite a pita. But you can't punish people for not playing their role or even ptfo'ing. That would mean snipers get punished for not spotting, engies for not repairing. assault for not throwing grenades? (I dont know what assault does). At that point we aren't playing BF anymore.

This exactly! Punishing is going to change just as much as rewarding it (which is currently the motivator), Nothing! 
You can’t force random people to play according to your expectations.

As @ElliotLH also described sometimes people die in locations where a revive just is not possible, but instead of respawning they wait out their time or still request a revive even. 

And it will also not solve the rambo reviving, which is one of my gripes. People reviving you to get the XP, or in your case avoid the penalty, only for you to immediately get shot again because they did not secure the location first but just rush in to get the revive of. Similar I can’t change that behaviour from others.

@NL-ChaosOnly as support you can revive anyone. But if you play any other class you can only revive your squadmates but no other teammates.
