Calling for a medic in a non-annoying way would be to use your mic and be like

"Hey... if you're not too busy"

or

"Heal me, please"

or

"I'm gonna fuck you... softly... I'm gonna screw you gently"

Yeah. Goddamn medic should be healing me instead of prancing around in the air all the time. Grmbl.

Dr.Satan · 02-07-2008, 04:19 PM

The new special skill is going to go a long way in helping that!

Right. And nobody uses it unless they want to either be annoying or are trying to get the attention of someone.

Well shit, maybe I'm the exception to the rule then, but if I'm calling for a medic I'm LOW ON HEALTH and there is a medic somewhere on our team. Sorry to distract you guys from your conc-jumping, christ.

Oh I don't know, I think the FF ones are pretty good, though I still miss the frantic "MEDIC!!!" from TFC.

That's my attitude as well, I just haven't mentioned it because I figure that's close to blasphemy around here.

Not really, I mean most med's have the attitude of not wanting to heal...but I play O (med generally though I do switch it up a bit) and if I see a player needs help I'll take time to help them out...not everyone does I know. That's part of the reason the medic is being given tossable medipacks as a secondary attack now. To encourage healing on the move...hell you can call for a med b/c your infected and the med can say "Medpack tossed at ___location come get it." Then it's on you to run there and grab it, but it's a step...In fact I think I'll make a bind that says just that for when this goes public!

pF · 02-07-2008, 06:01 PM

Heh, i was half joking.. but yeah, i'm waiting to see what the tossable medkits are like. Sound good.

Being a dedicated healer becomes boring very fast (See the TF2 Medic). It's nice to be able to actually help by healing and capturing the flag. It makes the Medic much more efficient than just sitting around at D and healing whomever gets scratched or being blown away while trying to heal some guy on O.

greenday5494 · 02-07-2008, 07:15 PM

i heal people whoever call it. and people heal me. i use both the in-game call, and a bind i use.

Chips · 02-07-2008, 09:47 PM

If I have a conc primed and someone calls me, I'll toss it to the side and help em out. But only if they call me. Med has typically been an O class in TFC and not as helpful at times on defense as they could be. But I'll help anyone that calls me...even enemy spys.

You don't have time to look around at everyone's health and see if they need you if you're trying to push on offense. Call me...and I will come.

That's actually a good point.. maybe a medic should be able to see a teammate's health status more prominently on the hud (bigger text size or something - possibly even a health status bar floating above the other models)? It'd be helpful to medics who are interested in well, being medics, and it'd visually reinforce (part of) the role of the FF medic.

Hey I don't suppose we can throw health packs to infect people huh? Like the diseased cow head from Postal 2?

I kill two birds with one stone by having a bind that calls for a medic and shows my current health and armour. :P

Tsukasa · 02-08-2008, 05:33 AM

So when's 2.0 coming out? rough estimate. The main page says first week in feb and its feb 7th >_>

Dr.Satan · 02-08-2008, 05:41 AM

Still a lot of stuff to hash out. Things have been tested and needed tweeking so they have to be changed and tested again. I would say in no more then 2 weeks but:

1) I'm not a dev
2) Shit could pop up that needs to be tweeked again and it could potentially take longer or shorter.

CaLeB- · 02-08-2008, 04:20 PM

I remember how in TFC, any medic would help you by healing you. Hell, that was my main objective when I played medic: to support your players by healing them. That's how it's supposed to be. Unfortunately, more people forget in FF that a medic's primary objective is to support and heal your folks. Now almost all of them are on offense by concing and ignore your cries of help. That's what the scout is for...

ensiform · 02-08-2008, 04:54 PM

Actually I get healed quite often in enemy base by friendlies even in disguise as long as no enemies are around in that situation.
