Give Medic SMGs

[Soanos]

How about increasing the range of the syringe gun slightly, to something like 2 meters to compensate the bunnyhopping, bouncing and leaping players they have to heal. Or give them a healing dart pistol?

I think flashbangs would be quite an useful tool too, if they stunned the enemy for a couple of seconds. I would have so many uses for these. Of course, I think Siren and Patriarch would have to be immune to it, and the effect should have a greatly shortened duration on things like FP and Scrake, as a downside this would enrage the FP and Scrake as soon as it wears off. Replace grenades with Flashbangs and limit their number to 2 or 3.

I don't see the healing dartpistol working, but a dart pistol could be good for de-enraging Fleshpounds and Scrakes. Especially useful when you consider that the FP enrages pretty much automatically now, and we can't count on the FP Decap / Scrake Stun exploits to be around forever.

I think flashbangs would be quite an useful tool too, if they stunned the enemy for a couple of seconds.

I don't see a stun grenade being very popular since normal grenades already stun and knockback. Perhaps some kind of nerve-gas grenade, that you can toss somewhere and lingers in an area, and Specimens that walk through it take damage? Maybe FP, Scrakes, and Gorefasts that walk through it lose their ability to sprint for a few seconds?

 

[Soanos]

Perhaps, but I was thinking that the specimens could get disoriented for a while and stand still for a little while, or even attack each other in the confusion.

A stun gun against a zombie type creature? If you haven't noticed, you can chop off the head of a specimen and it still follows you.

I still want my damn MP5.

"ZOMG THE SYRINGE IS INACCURATE!!!11!!!"

The syringe is accurate and the hitboxes are fine. The reason why it doesn't heal sometimes is because the healing isn't instantaneous and you can't make another injection while the health is going up. This is fine with most classes as you can heal someone twice without missing. Medics reload the syringe gun faster so you actually have to wait a second or two after reloading before making the 2nd injection. If someone else made an injection(or patient injected himself) you have to wait untill the health stops increasing before you can heal them further. This is what annoys me most about playing as medic, non-medics healing when i'm right next to them frantically trying to make injections.

I do think this should be addressed for the medic. And I'm not entirely opposed to left 4 dead style healing where the healer grabs the patient for the duration of healing.

Also how about the syringe gun injections being used on zombies for negative effects? That would make quite the medic weapon and i think it would go nice with armor and speed perks.

Too much griefing potential here, I think.

Or someone's deke'ing around and you weren't pointed at him when you clicked. Or you were further than 3 inches away. It wouldn't even bother me so much but why do we reload the Syringe when we DON'T heal someone?

As for the "no overlapping heals" issue, perhaps the stronger heal could override a weaker one?

Or possibly since there is the achievement 'Killing 8 Specimen With Your Knife in 1 Round' possibly a bonus of some sort with the knife.

Damn. Nice necro

Damn. Nice necro

You prefer new thread on same topic?

A little less spread would be nice, but then again, med gun is already very nice for sniping crawlers and clots.

yes, but this thread is nearly 3 years old, probably filled with outdated information, and his post is almost a direct copy paste from another thread he necro'd from the distant past, so yes, i would prefer a new thread over this, or even better, just not post it at all.

Medics are a defensive class. Your job is to heal your friends and keep them alive.

 

[RuneHarle]

I'm gonna have to agree with the whole "medic doesn't need a weapon bonus" BUT I am all for the medic getting a slightly stronger sub machine gun. I personally recommend the MP-5, MP-10 Avenger or a machine pistol like the MP-9.

 

[O-cactus]

The medic could have an upgraded gun with a healing "mist" instead of a dart. I'd imagine that the mist could be managed like a recharging flamethrower tank and it could heal a group of teammates at once without having to wait for the syringe to recharge/miss because of a bug. as for the gun it's attached to, maybe a something like an MP5?

 

[noupperlobeman]

Agree. Medics need some offensive weapons of their own.

Just because the medic isn't an offensive perk doesn't mean it shouldn't have some minor offensive capabilities. Most of the time on suicidal or hoe I feel I would be better serving my team with an offensive perk.

I think we really only need one or two teirs of smgs though. Three could be a bit much, because of the mp7.

 

[Grabbed_by_the_Spetsnaz]

Why so much MP7 hate? I love that little gun to bits ^-^

 

[Sammers]

Nah, Medics don't need offensive content added.
