Why I don't Revive

80m away?

In the open?

Surrounded by enemies?

Challenge accepted.  I'll Michael Jackson my way over to your dead *.

You aren't dying today son.

I don't fear Death. Death fears me.

First, I do revive when

• Im playing in a squad with my friends
• It is a Mission

Now, that being said, I don't revive because I die half the time because the player wants the death off his stat, and doesnt care about me living through the event.

Here are my opinions about your responsibility to get revived

1.  Stop requesting it when the guy who killed you is right there
2.  Ping the enemies in the area
3.  Accept that you may have died where you cannot safely revive.  Release fast, stop begging for someone to die trying.
4.  If you are revived and the medic is killed, revive them if you can, Do not run off.

When I do revive, 50% of the time, 1 or 4 occurs.   Yet in chat, people are constantly whining.   I have never played a teamwork designed game where the players did not protect their healers, until this game.  

So, unless it is a mission, or youre in my discord channel...... Doctor says youre gonna die.

At first I thought from the thread title that you were saying that you don't revive as a matter of personal policy. But after reading your post I agree. After having worked in the healthcare industry for 40 years as a physical therapist my instinct is to heal and revive, and I am often killed doing it because players lay wanting revival when they shouldn't. For sure players should tap out when killed and they are laying in line of sight of enemies and especially the enemy that just killed the player. Reviving the medic that revived you is the right thing to do unless under fire or there is too much danger, because your death would not help the team win.

@Padding_Ur_StatsThat's kind of how I do things too. If they're out in the open then I'm not coming for them.

That's my policy now too, I die enough already without throwing lives away foolishly. 😊

Having said that I always revive when it seems safe to do so.

"Until they are home, no man left behind !” 

THAT is the right spirit my friend!

As in real life, having friends like you in the game is what makes it all worthwhile and fun.

And for your extraordinary acts of valor, you fully deserve this:

It also depends on the game mode.

If you are a Defender on Breakthrough or Rush, you have no tickets, so a revive only has tactical value.

Here is my Revive priority:

1. TDM

2. Rush and BT Attacker
3. Conquest
4. Rush and BT Defender

In general terms I'll try to revive whenever possible. Has been the case since BFBC2 really, yet in 2042 I will struggle to find the drive to do it....
Teams unwilling to cooperate 7/10 times from the get go, players skipping revives even if I mark them, smoke them dispose of most active threats but only if i am less then 4m away.

If I get the impression the team is compised of individuals whos understanding of teamplay stops at their nose then i will partake and my willingness to revive plummets.
It is not my job to dig incompetent players out of their negative KD. Teamplay is not a one-way road, and i will call out every team of bufoons i come across. My expectations have been lowered to the point where I call myslef lucky if my team is playing with their monitors/TVs turned on in the first place. I don't expect every player in the game to play like they are applying for an E-Sports team but if i see 4 "snipers" sitting 50m from an objective that we are loosing and not a singel one of them is pointed towards that objective but at the enemy objective 200ish meters I can not help but feel just as lost and this happens on both sides. I get it sniping is what all the cool kids do nowadays but maybe just maybe try and look at your map every once in a while.

Unless I feel you've intentionally let me die, I will do my absolute best to revive everyone (I notice).
