Health bar on other players

I tried making a search…but way to0 many non related topics…

The health…its on purpose that you doesent always spawn with full health?

Ive often wondered about that too. Lets wait for someone with more define information to answer, but I think it only happens when theres no medic on your team. An added incentive, over and above the extra hp, to have medics so to speak.

Also…sometimes its like…that even the bar on the other player is NOT full…he actually HAS full hp…and cannot take more medic packs…also vice verca… that the HP shows full…but the player actually need packs…
(more a bug thing tho…i think…it was also a issue in RTCW.)

medics NEVER spawn with full health. which is why you notice you can pick up 1-2 health packs usually right outta spawn.

players with level 3 battle sense, dont’ spawn with the extra 15HP bonus that Level 3 BS gives you.

at least that is what I notice in my observations.

When you get the ‘improved health’ battle sense award, it only raises your max health, not how much you spawn with. So unless you get topped up by a medic, it doesn’t do you any good.

You do spawn with the bonus that is given for having medics on your team.

Feature ? Bug ? Who knows.

Medics don’t spawn with max health either, but regeneration fills them up.

If you have 3 or more medics on your team you get more health of 140.

Here’s what the thing is.

Medics give a bonus HP when they are on your team.

If there are no medics on a team all the bars appear full. If a medic joins the game, the bar will appear to be almost but not quite full, and the bar will not be reset until he dies or is revived by a medic, this means that the extra HP bonus doesn’t kick in until the player dies, but the bar still acts as if that player had the HP bonus.

Sorry, I could have explained that better if I was talking to you instead of typing. Here in America our English sucks. :slight_smile:

I’ve noticed that when you look at a disguised enemy their health bar will show full, then a fraction of a second later it will drop to the real value. I see this happen and it always makes me suspicious, and it almost always turns out to be warranted.
