Body Gibs and Corpse Dragging

[Syd]

corpse dragging will always pointless when you can use your invincible revived teammate as a shield.

I know that this is too versatile for one class, but I didn’t mind. I never hated playing against teams with a lot of medics, even when I was an engineer or Field ops.

Not a universal sentiment.

[QUOTE=Kendle;415498]The most powerful feature (of the ET Med), IMO, is the med-pack.

I was a full time Medic in RTCW, and started out as a Medic in ET. The term “rambo Medic” didn’t exist in RTCW, it was coined sometime after ET’s launch when everyone jumped on the bandwagon and realised it was the most powerful class.

The difference between RTCW and ET is actually quite subtle. In ET the guns are weaker (same damage, slower rate of fire), the Medic regen is faster (I think, can’t remember exactly), and there are XP bonus’s that gave you even more health. Having the ability to pack yourself back up to full health between gun fights, often even DURING gun fights, made the Medic a far more formidable soldier than any other class.

Agreed, and something I’d love to see, as I was what I call a “proper” Medic, using the classes abilities to support other players, rather than turn myself into an invincible super-soldat!

Trouble is, so many people played Medic (in ET) because of the health advantage that debating it never achieved anything, they’d all insist it wasn’t OP and didn’t need nerfing. Hopefully DB will give us back a more RTCW-ish Medic than an ET Medic.[/QUOTE]

Rambo medics didn’t exist in ETQW either. Why? cos no number of health packs will save you from a hyperblaster or a tank or desecrator.
