Ro 2 needs medic class!
- Thread starter Alu
- Start date
Plus admit it RO 2 turned to be arcadish in some way.
A medic class won't happen.
Hmm the arma medic ? like in ACE nah that's too hardcore for most people and way too difficult too play for people who are non familair with Arma.
I remember you could do a bunch of actions for wounded people like giving morphine and stuff, I don't even remember but it was deep.
I don't see any medic here magic healing any soldiers, it is just silly.

you have to realize that RO2 is not a class based shooter, per se.. where classes have roles that need to be fufilled. A class, in RO, is dependent on the weapon they carry. A skilled player at RO knows where these weapons can be used most effective and how they can help out the rest of the team. There aren't that many other gadgets in RO2 except for smoke grenades and binoculars.
I dunno if this was the case but I thought Medics back then didn't fight and you were not really supposed to shoot them either were you? Like they wore medical cross's or something so you knew they were just there to treat the wounded.
But honestly I don't have much problem with the bandage system we have now. Though I think wounds should actually effect you. Legshots slow you down an arm shots make your aim less stable. Torso shots probably both.

no1 likes it, but no1 at TWI seems to care.. these forums start to feel more and more like EA UK BF3, both in terms of the rage and how the staff cares less and less (hero only MKB-->MKB 4every1!).
Regardless, I HAAATE medics.. as much they as promote REAL teamwork, especially when they can revive its just unreal and annoying as hell when you kill 5 careless squad noobs, 6th guy gets you and revives every1. (Project Reality any1?)
Game is "forgiving" enough as it is with the small maps and the amount of time it takes to get back into teh action after you die
Medics in RO wouldn't 'revive' just stop your fatal bleeding which doesn't happen often cos usually 1 shot=death. RO 1 is realistic. RO 2 is neither realistic or arcadish it tries to be both, and it's bad. Just like one of the best reviews of the game said.
I wouldn't mind a medic class so long as you couldn't do the voodoo zombie revivals of earlier games.
Just make it so you can't bandage yourself, but make the bleed out much longer to give the medic time to show up. No magical healing either...maybe at the most morphine to erase limping/unsteady aiming once they introduce limb wound effects, and then only for a few minutes perhaps.
And make sure he only gets a rifle so people aren't using him to get an automatic.
One thing is certain: the bandage mechanic already in game needs to be made more involving. It should be a bit closer to Far Cry 2's bandanging where it takes at least 5 seconds and it takes your eyes off the action. And the aforementioned limb effects from RO1 need to come back.

This would not work for Red Orchestra. No medic on the planet today, let alone in WW2 Stalingrad could magically heal all wounds in just a few seconds.
This is a realistic WW2 game, not Star Trek, where some sort of healing tricorder might exist.
This arcadey stuff will never belong in the RO series.
Sure why not. This isn't a sequel to Red Orchestra, just a game using the name.
My last game, half my Russian team was running around with pistols so they could "get their unlocks" and proceed to insult me when I asked for objective support.
GG on your cod clone, you accomplished your goal TW.

Yes it is where you bandage yourself in 1 second, you can even TWICE bandage yourselves. You can twice get hit and still can fight like nothing happens. Yeah Realistc RO 2, sorry but RO 2 is no longer realistic same with SHOOTING. You sprey at enemy from 1 meters but somehow he survives and still kills you.
Where did I say anything about how just because BF has it we cant here?
Once again, this community absolutely fails when it comes to other games. Zomg CoD, Zomg BF.
It's a bad idea because it is a bad idea. Let it stay in Battlefield or ARMA. It has no place here at all, it serves zero purpose here at all.
Dragging people back to your lines? Why? His body vanishes after a certain time anyways. As it stands, there is nothing a medic could do in that regard. Bandaging? Everyone can do it for themselves as it, and wounds have really next to no effect right now.
People don't "get out of the fight" in video games. There is no being sent to a field hospital, none of that at all. That is what medics exist for, to save a soul. That has next to no purpose in a video game.
This game isn't hardcore enough for ARMA style medics, but isn't arcade enough for BF style medics. The only thing that would make sense is a bandage distributor.... which..... How often have you run out of bandages?
I know I haven't. By the time I need a third I'm long dead anyways.
