need a medic

(elite team killing newbie) #1

I started playing et the day it came out but the one class I always avoided was medic.

why?

I like to kill people and blow shit up.

well, I have to say, after just starting to play medic, I have never had as much fun in this game as I am having now.

I always “do what is needed for the team” in pub games.

Like if we need an engineer and the entire team wants to be field ops and just sit there calling in air raids (happens a lot) I’ll be an engy and go fix stuff even though I am not good at it.

Recently I got stuck doing the medic thing but instead of being a walking bulls eye like I thought I would be, it actually made me look at the “team work” thing in a much different way.

I have noticed even a crappy team can win a map if they have 1-2 damn good medics who know what they are doing.

If those medics just keep them alive and you keep herding your army of retarded noobs towards the objective, sooner or later you will take it.

I’ve spectated some damn good medics in pub games who I can say did about 75% of the team work for their team… but the messed up thing is they don’t get the credit they deserve.

so the next time you guys win a map, give your medics their props, if you are lucky to have a damn good one, he/she plays a much bigger part than you think.

Medics don’t do anything. It’s just a rumor. Engies give the needle and Coverts drop the health packs. Good-for-nothin’ medics just stand around pretending.

You didn’t try medic before because you like to kill ppl?

Medics great for killing ppl it was the only class I used to play - haven’t you seen all the posts lamenting about "Rambo Medics"and how powerful they are? :banana:

Yeah, really, im gone for two months and constant debates and eventual arguments of Rambo medics disappear…

Shame!! :smiley:

Rock on fellow rambo medics! :drink: :beer: :clap:

I used to be just the same until i discovered the joys of poking people. Sticking my needle in team mates is clearly the way forward.

No cos i’d expect you to win with an HP advantage.
Say if you played an exact copy of yourself. You
a ‘Rambo medic’ and your copy say an smg soldier.
You would own your ‘copies’ ass because of the HP
diference. And does that make you better in a
1 on 1 firefight?.

no

Lol, to the person who misses the rambo med posts,
I think i’ve started the ball rolling again…
Imo, rambo medics need the xtra hp and self healing to be any
good.

edit

nearly forgot, I’d like to see all those players/members
who have avatars such as ‘I own u’ and such change
it to ’ i’m a smg soldier and i own u’.
Now that would be impressive! :smiley:

So what you’re saying is I need the HP advantage to be any good in a 1 on 1 firefight?

My 40% accuracy with over 50 headshots a round doesn’t help? I’ll go make a demo as an SMG soldier for you right now. :smiley:

EDIT: Need to host it somewhere =/

After having seen this sort of thing several times, in several discussions, I have setup a public portion of my home FTP site for people of this forum to use. Anybody on this forum is free to post/download in this section. Just, please: nothing illegal, or even dubious, no porn, etc. Just ET stuff (And only stuff that is either in the Public Domain, or you have rights to distribute). Also, since it is my home server (DSL 768/128) please be gentle. Ok, as for the important bits:

My email, if you have problems or want something else (I get bored easy, and have a bit of a socialist streak in me): admin@dragon-tech.net

Cool man thanks a lot… what should the max demo be? I don’t wanna suck up your space. :drink:

(ETplayer) #15

just make it like a MINUTE long {60 seconds, show some
M4� 1337 M45T3R 5UÞ3R skillzz) :blah:

(SylverDragon) #16

Well, its a 50 GB partition, with about 48 of that free, so, have at. Figure, if its under a gig I’m not going to worry much, if its over, it still doens’t bother me really, though it may not last quite as long. I’ll probably do some house cleaning from time to time, so there really shouldn’t be a space problem (unless I get really lazy).

Damn youre 1337!

(amazinglarry) #18

Anyway to edit them to make it shorter?

(SCDS_reyalP) #19

Damnit, you have been specing me while a sneak off into a corner, shoot all my issued needles into my arm, and then /kill ? so I can get more :frowning:

(Sauron|EFG) #20

Being good isn’t only having good aim. You pick the appropriate class for a specific task, and the medic is very suitable for Ramboing. :blah:

Saying that you’re a soldier with a SMG will never be impressive. :smiley:
:banana:

IRT AmazinGLarrY:
AFAIK there’s no way to edit/trim ET demos.

(OMG I’m gonna watch your demo with r_shownormals 1!!!111 :eek3: :wink: )
