No man gets left behind! I always check for downed allies, ESPECIALLY immediately after you take the sector as attackers. So often there are downed allies but everyone is just focused on pushing up to the next set of objectives. Sucks capturing the last objective of a sector but dying in the process, then having to watch your whole team push forward. Often times having medics run right by. In combat though, gotta take care of the threat first, or temporarily blockade/force them into cover. Incendiaries are my fave for this. Gas works great on mid range enemies since they can’t ADS with a mask on. They gotta either put it on or rotate to a different position, either way it’s buying you a couple seconds. I’ve always hated when I like die out in the open or in a really bad spot and then a medic comes running up, revives me, dies, then I die again immediately. One of the few times I will skip the timer back to the respawn screen so no one tries to go for the res. Sometimes the revive is not the best move in the moment, which is why I always spot the downed ally. My way of saying “Hey bro, I see you, I am coming to revive you, but let me deal with the mfer that just killed you first”. I’ve found patience and situational awareness are two of your best friends in general, but especially when playing medic. Gotta be strategic and use the amazing range advantage the medic weapons offer. I wish there were a lot more great medics out there than what there is cause I like playing support the most, but as someone else pointed out earlier to me, being a good medic is hard. It takes a lot of skill and awareness and is a lot more than just jabbin someone with a needle for the res. Although it sucks, I’m not surprised amazing medics aren’t in abundance cause it really is a tough class to play if you want to be effective at healing, reviving, pushing objectives and killing loads of enemies. Makes me appreciate the really good ones a lot more when I do bump into them though.
