finishing others while being revived just seems wrong to me..

if they are being revived, and i kill them, they are finished, arent you guys think that if i shoot someone who is being revived, he should be down again, waiting for revive?
i think it will allow much better plays and make the game a bit more intresting…
i would like to hear what you think

I agree, it would make the game more interesting

Until they stand fully up they’re not technically “revived”, so they still count as a downed player. It used to be as soon as a medic touched a down person they were invincible for a second after they stood up, it made Sparks pretty powerful, saving anyone who dies the instant they go down.

You are actually counting as revived while you stand up. Which has the bad side effect that you get the respawn wave you are finished in. I.e. you are incapacitated and your respawn wave comes up (click to respawn) but because a medic approaches you don’t click and wait for the revive, the medic revives you but you get finished while getting up. You have to wait for the next respawn wave to respawn.

Granted thats a edge case, but If you would still count as incapacitated through the get up animation you could respawn instantly in the above case. IMO Thats how it should be.

@exclusiveLodge your suggestion would create revivetrains again. granted slightly toned down compared to what we had before but a medic would be able to revive someone over and over again. The system thats in place now, is there to prevent exactly that.
