New class - medic

Use the search dude.

And there won't be a medic class.

I do not think that a medic class would appeal to the style of game-play that attracts this particular player-base. In an "attempt to be ultra realistic" game such as Arma 2, it makes a bit more sense.

I'm obviously speaking for myself when I say it wouldn't be a fun class to play in RO:2. If you're going to be administering triage, you're going to have to be somewhere safe which pretty much means the spawn areas (where you're not exactly safe). Otherwise you're going to be a constant sitting target. Unless of course, you have a squad of men around you to watch your back in the thick of combat. But then that's taking up resources for capping the objectives (which is the point of the game).

Whilst I do not have anything against a medic class in general, I just don't see it gelling well in the RO style of game.

There are threads dozens of pages long on this. It isn't going to happen.

Personally I'm all for it but TW... isn't.... so I'm hoping for a mod with it.

I generally find medics are a great advancement in realism based shooters. Don't know why there's a certain decline these days. I'd love to see them in RO... but I know it's not gonna happen.

Medic doesn't appeal to people? Are you new to games?

Such a class is extremely desirable by many players. Realistic and none realistic games. But throwing realism out of the window. The Medic class would of added so much depth to this game and allow you to do more with the wounding system already in place.

Damaged arms? More gun sway. Harder to aim. You can bandage and stop yourself from bleeding but a Medic can do one better! Reducing the affect of the damage done to you. Legs? Reduced speed/less sprinting bar. Medic saves the day again.

Medic is the only real class which makes a difference from all the soldiers currently on the battlefield. The current classes are more "Weapon assignments" than "roles on the battlefield". A squad leader is just a riflemen with some smokes. An MG is just a riflemen with an MG. A SMG guy is just a riflemen with an SMG. Everyones just a riflemen with a different weapon. Everyone acts in the same way. You'll get your SMG campers. Your rifle campers. Your MG campers. Your SL campers. You'll get your SMG/MG/Rifle/SMG rushers.

Theres no real difference on how they play. Just the weapon they use.

Oh, btw: if I remember correctly medics in WW2 weren't allowed to carry weapons (a pistol maybe)...

Medic would be nice but the current adhd 10ish sec spawn time and almost instant action after spawning just doesn't cater medic system at all.

If the game would be a lot slower paced then I would agree on the medic class. Now the game is just too fast paced.

I hate that we used to mock the idea of medics because they were unrealistic and inappropriate for a game like RO. The exact argument being this

"If you need a medic to stop you from dying and bandage you, then you are combat ineffective and count as 'dead' for game purposes. If you take a hit that you can continue fighting with then you don't need a medic"

The real solution will be to remove 'bandaging' I think, I have given it a fair go now in the beta, i didn't want to judge any RO2 feature without trying it but it is just inappropriate.

I don't think Stalingrad and the Eastern front were famous for the amount of combat medics on either side. Maybe for mods.

Oh... this again? I though we were supposed to wait THREE days before reposting the same question again... but no, two will do.
