Medics too strong

(Aspone) #1

Greetins

Well, after my post many people will make vodoo dolls of me, but there is goes

Medic is an unbalanced character, for many reasons

  1. Makes no sense Medics with highest Health. As a army medic myself in real life I can tell you tht I am not, by far, the strongest/healthiest men on my unit
  2. Medics can regenerate. What is that? They are all Wolverine relatives ??
  3. MedPacks heals too fast.

Solutions

1)Medics should be the weakest character when talking about health, at least not the strongest. There is no logic argument to favor the high health
2)Just stop regeneration, makes no sense
3)Health packs should take some seconds to regenerate Health, like 20 points over 10 seconds. That would prevent the run-to-get-the-4 health-packs-dropped-in-the-corner-before-the-shooting and the running’n’healing. Also, dropping health packs should make the character stop walking/running.

Some smartasswannabe would say: If medics are the strongest character, why not everyone is playing medic? I answer this question : for the same reason that everyone is NOT playing CS. Figure out the reason out of this. If you can´t , I explain later

Never play medic so I cant really comment but wtf.Medics I think have the extra health as they "Go out in the open to revive fallen players"So i think maybe they are given this extra to encourage the team function of the game.Hey just my thought though I do agree about the self revival.

this discussion has already been beaten to death.
Though most people agree (me including) with your points, it is not very likely that things will change. If you think medics are strong as they are, try taking on a medic with adrenaline.

I don’t agree with number 3.) I like healthpacks the way they are. This is a fast action shooter and things need to happen fast.

It’s funny sometimes because all rookies want to be rambo medics, and I rarely play medic, but I almost always beat them in a fire fight. So much for the extra health.

im very sorry that you guys have problems with taking out medics, but if you play more often you will be able to kill them eventually :). it has been this way since RtCW and thats good. if your team is good you will have about half of them medic and you go revive each other all the way and get the objective :banana: .

I love the double standard…

When a medic is on your team, you expect them to be strong, run into enemy fire, risk their “life” to revive you.

When a medic is on the other team, they’re too tough and should be weaker.

ToeD, Digm exactly
plain stupid discussion

Medic’s do only get 30 rounds tho which more than compensates for having extra health

Yadda, Yadda, Yadda. Go write your own game and give it away fir free.

mmm medics are powerful and when u contact one u always know there on full health and they probably have a good 30-50HP more than u but, everyone takes advantages of things that aint meant to be

field ops, there meant to artillery buildable things but pepople take advantage and spawn camp. engineers sometimes mine spawn etc so medic is like the only class when dead u cant carry on killing people oh and cov op but who cares about cov op, all it takes is a good shot to nail a medic or take them by surprise they are VERY powerful and i think there health shouldnt be 150 but its not that hard, or just go medic urself :smiley:

i do agree that medics are slightly overpowered, but not entirely, I mean look at the upgrades Soldiers and Field Ops get. the only thing I would take a way from them is the ability to regenerate health.
Level 2 Medics giving himself packs + regeneration=lots of health.

Medics do need the extra health to dash into a kill zone revive a teammate and run back to cover to heal himself, to prepare for his next revive.

Medics don’t have that much more of an advantage in a firefight, if you’re better than your opponent Medic, you’re gonna beat him, simple as that.

They aren’t that powerful you just need to shoot them in the head. Btw any other class can have 140hp after level 3 battlesense & 3+ medics on the team so the HP difference isn’t that much. I think the greatest ability of medics is to keep their health high so it nearly always does take some good shooting to take them down.

(Demo) #15

since when does medics have 30-50 more hp then a newly spawned engineer??

Medics (without level three BS, which everyone gets!!!) you has like 15 more helath… that is one shoot to the body.

But I can understannd the regenerationpart.

Ok about the max health, but it is the way that health packs works that overpower medics. it is just too fast. If a medic retreat and protect him self for five seconds, he is on full health again. If he drops de pack behind some cover, he is on full health in 0 sec after retreating it. So, if the packs would take like 5 seconds to regenerate health, not cumulative with others packs, wouldn´t be so unfair, IMO. Also, running and dropping med packs to himself shouldnt work. everyone, not medic, should stop moving to get the pack…

(Demo) #17

As it seems now the medic would:

Have 80-90 health
One clip of ammo
One grenade
No regeneration
Stands still to take medpacks, and it takes years for them to fill up your health.

Lol and omfg

Hmm…
They are overpowered… I KNOW!
Lets take away their ability to give out health packs and regenerate!
Oh Ooh oh! better idea scratch that blasted needle too! I mean if you get shot down…why should you be revived? Its only fair you start again at spawn! :banana:

No, get rid of the respawn, thats not realistic. Oh and while we are at it can we PLEASE add realistic panzer flight paths! :banghead:

If you want some realism then go play Americas Army. Simple as that.
