Out of the metric ton of complaints I might have about BFV, I personally consider these two features something that may be worth keeping in BF games.Squad revive helped to have more revives than in any other BF game before. It feels great to be able to be there for your buddies even if you are not a medic.For those who do know know "hardline resupply" is that feature that was mostly imported to BFV on a patch that allows you to click on medics and get healed / click on supports and get resupplied even if they are not being that cooperative (though it is rare on medics because it needs the box that few people use over the throwable bandages)I think I would like these two features to stay in the next game.How do you feel about them? Have I missed any hidden implications?

Many heroes would not be as great without their sidekicks.

@UP_Hawxxeye Squad revives: Not for it. I disliked the idea in Battlefield 5's beta, and still do. If I'm not a medic, I'm not trying to revive anyone. The feature (in my opinion) made people expect to be revived, and not try to not get killed.This with squad leader points made me make my own personal squad in most all Battlefield 5 games.I've never personally experienced "hardline resupply". If it doesn't add an animation to my screen I'm for it. If my character starts showing animations while I'm sending and/ or receiving I'm against it.

@UP_Hawxxeye well I hope they fix grenades and ignore the grenade spam crew.

@NoodlesocksToo many medic was a common complaint in BF3/4 too. As they only seem to heal self and had the better weapons. God even we had video of Influences whine about medics not reviving, while footage showed them ignoring to revive.Even competitive scene in BF3/4 started to restrict classes because of the over use of medics. Remember no vehicle classes too.Taking health/ammo should give 0XP.I too wish we had better in-game communication.

Squad revive and the "hardline resupply". Do you want them moving forward?

Maybe they could go even further where you can share your ammo and health resources with others on your squad? Making support and medic roles something completely new and tying resupply chain to squad, drops and stations.

Collaborative behaviors should be much better rewarded, so we do not just have 64 lonely Rambos rambling around on the map.
And even more so, when not just for your team, but for/with your squad mates!

I would not say there is any way these could ever adversely effect good teamplayers who are supports or medics.

@UP_Hawxxeye I have less qualms about squad revive then buddy supply.
However squad revive and lying on back needs adjustment, if your dying you should either be on your side or face down. It just a small game help if there is no spotting again.

Buddy supply I don't remember using in BFV had plenty of crates around giving area effect. Is it bullets only? I hope so. I am still pissed that crates could not give grenades but I could pickup AT rockets and trip mines.

Might be a good idea to have a visual cue class on team mates. A coloured arm band or a class icon over head.

@DingoKillr Agreed about some cue being needed when someone is lying on their back. Have lost count of the number of times what I thought was a corpse has killed me.

The buddy supply is just bullets though (or health, of course). I also found it a bit strange about crates not resupplying grenades but assume it's to stop 'nade spam.

I honestly don't know how I feel about the whole squad revive thing. Yeah, it's nice to be able to help your buddies out and all, but I can't help but feel you're wasting the Medic class as a whole; You obviously revive faster with the dedicated class, but I miss my syringe pokes - BFV was still a little janky imo.

I don't agree with players earning points from players taking ammo/meds off of them - I think you should have to actively hand that stuff out to benefit but it's just nice I can still get stuff even when the other guy doesn't wanna play his role properly so I guess it's all good
