Medics?

DoctorRat

I was curious as to wether there were ever going to be medics in the game? I'm sure this question has been asked.

Was the idea shot down for realism issues?

Yes there will be Medics, and Engineers too (not to forget Paratroopers)

Yep they are planned, and by the sounds of it they are going to be a very cool addition, not something simple like a guy who runs around with healing packs, but something more immersive and realistic. As such though it will take some time and I believe they said they need to finish some other layers of the game to make it work well. I believe the new UI that went in was one of those.

First they need to improve the damage model of the player, a gun shot wound to the leg should make you walk slower or limp.  A gun shot to the arm/shoulder should make you have trouble aiming, a shot to the chest should cause to stop being able to shoot but stll await a medic to get you off the field, within a bleed time.

Also like to see concussion from shells landing near.

Ragdolls when explosions kick off, so that when you die to an explosion instead of just going black, you see an angled shot of your body being flung up or wrapped around a tree or tank etc.

Would also like to see whiplash from shoulder hits, so your body takes the hit that spins you.

Shots should also cause you to fall to the ground.

Lose the black screen and red screen, as above you should see your death cycle from different camera positions around your body.

Playback the last 4 seconds of your game time just to see how you died.

Medics yes, Medics like other FPS medics no...  medics should be able to stop you from dying slowly (when you are bleeding to death slowly from a lucky hit), but they should never be able to bring you back to full fighting condition after having half your leg blown off, like other FPS do.

Hopefully when they add them all they will do is let you RTB from the point they get to you. Basicly sending you to the aid station. Anything else would just suck
