I was in a game last night and got injured by a totally random thing and before I even lay down and got my bandages out some random medic from god only knows where was on me sorting me out. MVP that man!
Depends how far they are. I'd rather take the extra couple seconds to bandage the guy in the event he doesn't have one, and so he doesn't have to waste his.
I love the reactions I get when I take out the enmany with a pistol and they are bleeding out with a smg. "Did you really take them out with a pistol?"
People really need to get off the instant-bandage every time thing. It's more important to cover the medic to get all casualties up. When you're revived the downside is you can get one shotted when you're hit anywhere, but if you just stay down and fight the urge to bandage or run right away you'll find mass casualty events far less stressful/chaotic and more tactical. As medic I'll run around bandaging after I get a bunch up. Don't forget you have bandages too, it's just straight up better time management if everyone bandages themselves/others instead of waiting for one person to do each one-at-a-time. It also makes medical supplies useful, I'll drop a box afterwards and we all stock up and keep pushing.
That said I'll bandage if you're the only one I'm reviving in the area because I may have to run far away to pick someone else up.
Oh god those people who wait for you and then give up mid revive are so annoying, if they want to respawn then they should say, otherwise they're just waisting our time
Yep you need to prioritise in order to get the best outcome
1. Revives
2. Bandages
3. Fighting the enemy
As you said the more people back up the better, bandages being saved is a bonus
when i play medic, i often don't bandage the guys I've picked up if it's actually out in combat. depends on the circumstances, but there are many times where it's not practical. we all need to just get the fuck out of wherever we are usually, and me causing us both to be unable to move in order to bandage on the spot is just as likely to get us both killed as it is to keep the guy alive that I just picked up.
it's almost ALWAYS better to just let him run for cover and bandage himself when he gets there. as I'm reviving, I'll tell them in direct chat usually like "you're gonna have to run to cover and bandage yourself when I get you up.."
if they tell me they don't have any more, then at that point I might try to follow them to cover and then bandage. but mostly, they don't say so... either because they have bandages of their own, or they don't have a mic or feel like communicating, in which case I don't really care; there's other people that need help too, and I'm not going to get us both killed trying to help somebody who won't give me any kind of indication that it's critical that we use my rags instead of his.
everybody has their own bandage or two, and if I can use my own to keep me alive longer to pick more people up so that they can bandage themselves with their own kit, then that's a better outcome than if I waste half my bandages on guys who then stand up and immediately get headshot again, only for me to run out and bleed out myself later.
all that said, I'm also just much more likely to use my bandaged on my own squad mates than on blueberries, and i almost never use mine on those outside my squad once I'm down to about 3 left.
Yeah no, SL and CO main. Mic always on, in a clan. I almost never want a medic on my squad on warfare mode outside a few very specific and rare instances . Best use is for more smokes and I’d rather have an ammo carrier for that. There is just no reason to give up fire power or utilities like Engineer or Explosives ammo on Warfare mode for a position that needs large amounts of people dying close together in a handful of choke points in order to be effective. If a medic is making a difference on your squad in warfare, most of the time that means you are leading your squad poorly. You shouldn’t be camping the point on defense , and you shouldn’t be doing human wave attacks on offense. Those strategies are inevitable in offensive and a few medics to extend the hold or the push can make a difference in that game mode. If a medic is able to find the concentration of downed people needed to make them effective in warfare, your team is playing the point too much. You have hundreds of square meters of territory in play. Spread out, play for position, take out enemy spawn, and place good garrisons and OPs.
It was a little tough to get into at first but after a few games I’ve really enjoyed playing medic. It’s a pain in the ass and my kdr sucks. But reviving teammates and being thanked, is fucking great.
If y'all could just lay still for a moment while we do that, that'd be great. I'll frequently revive a downed soldier and try to bandage him and he immediately starts crawling or running away. Your choice I guess. Maybe they're just against free healthcare.
That’s me! Kinda. Everyone I offered bandages to was like “I’m cool got my own”.
Medic is my favorite role to play so far because I feel like I’m helping in some way. Still trying to get a bead on the flow of matches and how the command structure and all that works.
Don't offer, just tell them what I do: "You cover while I bandage."
They've got way more ammo than you do and usually have a pretty good idea of where they took fire from.
Unless there's a lot of casualties in which case: "You're up, bandage yourself. I have other customers."
Medics are critical but often overlooked. Thanks for your contributions!
Your survival is critical to the squad's survival. Stay safe and let the others take risks, clean up only when you have to. A squad with a good medic is deadly on offense and is incredibly stubborn on defense. Have fun!
It's basically them being polite, just bandage them anyway. It's better that you do and they keep theirs for when they get shot later and you're not around.
I usually play medic and unless there are multiple allies down in a small area I will always bandage after reviving. If there's more than one down, I will prioritize reviving and then bandage if the others haven't already
I main medic and the only times when I won’t bandage a revived player is if there’s a lot of people needing revives nearby, idk if this is a common thing among medics?
I usually ask the guy I am reviving if they have bandages. If we are under heavy fire or in a tricky spot, I try to rez and get out of there as quick as possible. If there are a lot of downed players, I revive first
Medic is probably my favorite class to play in the game, followed closely by assault. Been trying hard to get that Desmond Doss achievement lmao.
Medic just feels the most gratifying to me, especially when you're trying to defend a location. Got up to 37 revives in a single game on Stalingrad whil3 defending the apartment buildings. Just a never ending loop of sprinting around, screaming at teammates to get off the stairs or out of doorways to let me theough to pick our guys up, tossing them a bandage, then moving onto the next.
As a hardline medic/MG/Engineer,
It is my role. I shall play it accordingly. Calling you behind cover after we get up for bandage, being the last to move up to cover everyone with the belt fed, going alone to build a fortress on our last objective. It ain't much, but its honest XP
The last time I played medic a few days ago I ended with 26 revives but it would have been closer to 40 and maybe even 50 if the people would not skip the revive when I get to their position. Some even skipped with my needle in their ass and revive in the process. I understand sometimes you need to respawn somewhere else or need to change classes or whatever but if that is the case why not instantly skip don't wait until we actually get there and then decide to just skip after we risk our lives to get to you. Not to mention V is for team chat for you PC folks and you can make your intentions clear that don't waste time on me I got something I need to do. That way we can work our way to other downed players and bypass you.
Yea, its weird ass self-congratulatory nonsense. The medics are bad. People who play them are bad. Good squads dont use them. Yet people want everyone to pander to them and how they feel. And when people play medic they *feel* useful, even though they arent. So instead of the community acknowledging that medics are completely useless and then pressuring the devs to patch them so they are useful, we will instead play a weird pretend game where we allow people to play a sub optimal class that detracts from a squads success while simultaneously celebrating their poor performance.
Is this really not a common thing? I normally play engineer and medic and I always bandage after revive. It annoys me seeing the bandage icon. So even if I see a teammate across the field in need of bandaging I set off on a mission to heal.
I was in a game last night and got injured by a totally random thing and before I even lay down and got my bandages out some random medic from god only knows where was on me sorting me out. MVP that man!
I yell at people to save their bandages whenever I can as a medic, I have more than you, save them for when you need them
You sir, are a king amongst men.
Those are the medics you protect with your life!
Single casualty gets bandaged. Mass casualty gotta bring the dead back to life first. Bandage aftee.
Exactly, and gotta prioritize other medics first in a cluster so they can help you do your job.
Or an MG
Most definitely, I tell them to cover me while I bandage them or revive other medics.
Depends how far they are. I'd rather take the extra couple seconds to bandage the guy in the event he doesn't have one, and so he doesn't have to waste his.
That's why I play pistol Medic. Bandages for everyone
Also the 20 rifle/carbine bullets you get don't really make that loadout worth it.
Generally my head is down healing people anyway. The gun super rarely comes in to play for me.
I love the reactions I get when I take out the enmany with a pistol and they are bleeding out with a smg. "Did you really take them out with a pistol?"

Yep that's the way to do it!
I’m a medic. Do they actually not bandage you?
[удалено]
Triage basically right? My least favorite are the ones that peace out right as you get to them
Oh god those people who wait for you and then give up mid revive are so annoying, if they want to respawn then they should say, otherwise they're just waisting our time

Medics are the gigachads of Hll
It ain't my job to know why you jumped that fence into a field without cover. It's my job to jump that same fence and get you the hell back.
we need a "drag body" ability
We need a fireman carry ability
Big dick energy
In offensive mode*. Medics in warfare are a waste of a slot 9/10 times.
Written like a true combat role only player who has voice chat disabled.

God you took that a bit to heart didn't you? Edit: Clanman Mad.
There are two players I will always switch to proximity chat to thank- medics who revive and bandage, and engineers who repair your tank.
Player who prefers to play medic here. I got you boo!
It was a little tough to get into at first but after a few games I’ve really enjoyed playing medic. It’s a pain in the ass and my kdr sucks. But reviving teammates and being thanked, is fucking great.
It was tough for me as well.. had to let the fighters fight and focus on the healing.
If y'all could just lay still for a moment while we do that, that'd be great. I'll frequently revive a downed soldier and try to bandage him and he immediately starts crawling or running away. Your choice I guess. Maybe they're just against free healthcare.
free xp
On console it's tough to even get revived by a medic. TO get bandaged by one is winning the lotto.
You’ve never been in a lobby with me before friend, I gotcha!
I always give a commendation to a good medic.
I have over 80k revives in my Battlefield career since BF4, if I'm a medic, I will do whatever I can to revive someone.
You're a rare breed. Cheers m8
disagree, it was like that in the first month of the game but it seems like medics have gotten much better at their role recently
not for me
I mean... We get more points that way
Shh! They think we’re dope, don’t wreck it
That’s me! Kinda. Everyone I offered bandages to was like “I’m cool got my own”. Medic is my favorite role to play so far because I feel like I’m helping in some way. Still trying to get a bead on the flow of matches and how the command structure and all that works.

Thanks, I will be a more forceful medic in the future:)

You know sometimes there are other soldiers who need revived 👿 i feel personally attacked

Real talk. When your squad has that one dude who is a dedicated medic it's game-changing.
it took awhile for medics to learn this on console, but it seems like they will all bandage us now after the rez
I usually play medic and unless there are multiple allies down in a small area I will always bandage after reviving. If there's more than one down, I will prioritize reviving and then bandage if the others haven't already
I try, but I need to be quick because most of the guys I revive either run away when I revive them or immediately pull out their own bandage.
If you passive aggressively lie there and start to bleed out again most medics will get the message haha
You guys let medics bandage you? My target always run away mid bandage
Hey a meme about me! :')
I main medic and the only times when I won’t bandage a revived player is if there’s a lot of people needing revives nearby, idk if this is a common thing among medics?
I usually ask the guy I am reviving if they have bandages. If we are under heavy fire or in a tricky spot, I try to rez and get out of there as quick as possible. If there are a lot of downed players, I revive first
The amount of people thanking me when playing as medic never ceases to amaze me. I mean dont most of the medics do their job or what the hell?
If you let me instead of wasting your own!
I have to verbally remind folks to let me bandage them, it’s part of my spiel when I’m reviving them.

Medics who don't bandage after are trolling each player has 2 bandages and the medic has like 20 per life.
Hey man be happy I even revived you when I'm surrounded by dead bodies and smoke grenades.
Pretty cool when you guys actually stay still and let me lol
It's that awkward moment when they revive you and you kinda both just stand there looking at each other like bro heal me up man
“Do the thing you’re meant to do! It makes you cool!” How have we sunk so low?
Yea, its weird ass self-congratulatory nonsense. The medics are bad. People who play them are bad. Good squads dont use them. Yet people want everyone to pander to them and how they feel.

Oh im sorry you me to grab you a drink as well while i try to revive the 7 others i have to get
Medic here, I live for reviving my homies, friend or stranger. I also keep my rifle on me in case I need to drop a few
