Medic self-injection needle issues

(Gump) #1

Currently, it appears as though the adrenaline self-injection needle and the revive needle use the same weaponbank. Press it once you get one, press it again you get the other. However, this isn’t real conducive to intense combat situations. Anytime I whip out my needle for reviving, it seems almost random as to whether I get the revive needle or the self-injector. I can’t count the times I’ve been killed over a body while shuffling between the two needles.

My question is, is there a way of separating them to different weapon banks or key assignments. If not, there should be, you shouldn’t be penalized for reaching the highest level in med. My suggestion would be to at least make the self-injector the weapalt function of the needle.

there are two different needles?

man i need to read up

(bleh) #3

it was like that is the test (weponalt changes between the two). dunno why they changed it.

(poorme) #4

Yep, same to me :banghead:

Yes, we want weponalt back to control which needle we wanna use!

Its horrible for running revives, i cant count the number of times ive injected myself when running past an injured teammate…

LOL seems we medics need some JACHO training cause I do it all the time also. I wonder what it looks like to be ther person laying there and seeing me shoot up in front of them…

Also the way its aimed, reminds me of that movie Pulp Fiction and The Rock. " You want me stick this f*%&ing needle in my heart?!"

Well, I guess the big question is, is there a way in the config file to change it back to using weap-alt to pull up the injector needle? Anyone know?

lol, its like

“Whew, ive been waiting here for 15 seconds, and the spawn timer just reset. But here comes a Medic!! Thank god. Here he comes…”

Sprints right over injured soldier’s face, stabbing himself with a needle at the same time.

Ahh, i can just see the pain :banghead:

Agreed, weaponalt for the self needle was much better. OTOH, jumping up and down on your teammates corps while shooting up does have a certain perverse appeal. :banana:

Splash people…

Please change it back to weap alt for super needle.

As it is now, level 4 of medic is currently makes you a worse medic than at level 3!!!

Alt-Weapon is not requiren, just make it taht the revive-needle will always come first if weapon bank 5 is selected, would solve all problems (and I actually like the double WB 5 usage :wink: )

(Brinkman) #12

alt syringe makes more sense

(Configga) #13

what does it mean in the manual where it says that medics get 2 extra syringes at level 2? can syringes run out? i’ve never had that happen to me so i just assumed the syringe was something that just always worked and never ran out of … umm … revive juice, or whatever it’s supposed to be :wink:

(SCDS_reyalP) #14

10 was the limit in rtcw, I’m pretty sure it is the same in ET until you level up.

(raag) #15

Yeah, you can run out. It sucks when you do to. It always seems to happen at the worse times, just makes me feel like an ass not able to help the fallen. Then I have to go kamakazi so I can get some more. Wish there was a way to resupply without having to become a suicide bomber.

(ExPLiCiT) #16

You get more from ammo packs I believe.

Also you can make a bind script for weapon bank five with a pause in it so it would prevent a double tap but it would be better I guess to use alt-fire, personally I rarely have this prob. probably cause my ping is so high I get a delay anyway.

(raag) #17

I dont think so, I’ve been out of needles found some ammo boxes and didnt get anymore. But then sometimes I’ve noticed when I pick up ammo boxes I don’t get smg ammo either, rarely does that happen. So do ammo boxes supply all ammo or in a specific order, ie. pistol, nades, smg?

(Jack) #18

No, ammo boxes do not give out syringes.

And binding weaponbank5 does not solve the problem. I have weaponbank 5 bound to mouse 2 in my medic config and I still get mixed up at times. Actully I have been using the same medic config since TFC…

I have gotten to the point now, that when after I shoot up, I make sure I switch it back to the green stuff before I continue hoping along. Its just gonna take some getting used to I guess.

(MuffinMan) #19

in rtcw you get new needles with ammo packs but only with shrub or osp

There’s another needle? Never seen it. When I whip it out, I heal my teammates. Never had a problem.
