Default Medic Perk - Please give points!

I would like the medic perk to give points when you heal allies and money (if your a medic, low amount) to make it viable.

In a massive offense i spend at least 80% of my time healing the team, so i cant shoot the zombies as im running around healing people.

Get no points for this, or money, so we win and my money is something stupidly low, so i can just refill ammo and do it all over again...and again :P

so in short, i would like the medic perk to give points for healing and money, so that its more viable to heal and not be screwed over at end of round. Ive actually been kicked for a low score before, just because i spent an entire round healing

Ask your teammates for money?

As is it, Medic has some of the best advantages already. Cheap body armor? Better body armor? Running faster? Great self healing? Slower cool down?

Ask them for money. Medic already has so much going on for them.

Actually, you do get cash for healing teammates.. but it's an absurdly low amount. You're better off shooting some Z

Good suggestion, though, I support this.

The benefit you get from healing team-mates are healed team-mates. That should be incentive enough to heal them.
Aside from leveling the perk, which isn't too shabby for a medic either.

So I don't think getting money for that is necessary.

Points at least.

Ive just dc'd and left my team to die, had it.

Four rounds, and by the 4th im broke and had nothing but a pistol and a bullpup with one clip. I filled ammo from running around grabbing it =/

Teammates wouldnt give me any money at all, till the shop closed, then gave me 200 and then was like 'whys your money so low'

...Because i spent the last four rounds saving your *** ! D:

Medic needs more money, or at least, frequenter amounts for healing. On hard and above, as a level 3 medic, im expected to spam my heals at my team to keep them alive during the onslaught, thusly getting no moneys.

Its really quite difficult if your the only medic on a team, to switch to a gun and fire off shots, get kills, then heal them because theyre dieng again.

Aside from that i love the game, its just a shame that ive yet to be in a server of the old community style, where the medic was valued

it be quite easy to exploit the giving money for healing teammates. You could just get the last specimen to attack your teammate while you heal him for infinite amount of times. If you want money, just heal them when they are dangerously low and then continue shooting, that's not hard is it?

The game revolves around teamwork, if they dont give you some cash, then its a bad team. Keep it as it is currently. Teammates should be just that, TEAMMATES...protect and look out for each other. If your buddy cant afford the high cost of living...help him out : )

I think it's also so people don't end up trying to play a full-time healer. You can but there are drawbacks. Good team coordination (and teammates willing to share) are how you get away with it. But I don't find that people need a healer baby sitting them 24 hours a day. Berzerkers get that and they think it's an excuse to stop playing smart.
