not u 6

hmm another little tip i noticed

you can switch classes and deploy ammo/meds then switch back to your original class

gr8 if your recon/eng and in dire need of c4/rockets or even a quick heal

Now that a lot of people are medic when I pick up their gun I can never use it so would love my beautiful m16 back after I rev people, otherwise I'm useless hate the m60!

you just havent given it a proper trial yet. there is a reason everyone uses it

and tbh, the m16 is just as g36e as the m60.

Don't be such a fag, not every assault class on the field carries an m16 its always xm8, every medic ever carries an m60 (which from your bf2 days opinion = biggest unlock noob ever) and the ability to whore about as a medic make the class unbalanced.

im sorry, what class did you play as in bf2?

this game is way different to bf2 in terms of classes and weapon usage, the unlocks in bf2 had little to no advantage over the stock guns (with the exception being the g36e) - they were all pretty evenly balanced.
the xm8 is the second best assault gun imo, the reason people use it over the m16 is because they probably havent unlocked it yet (the m16 is the last assault unlock whereas the m60 is somewhere in the middle so more people have access to it).

in bc2, the only advantage of being a medic is the ability to rev people as the ability to heal yourself is pretty much reduntant because every class regains their health over a short period of time anyway.

in bc2 the pkm has little to no chance of beating someone using a saw or any other unlockable medic gun including the m60, whereas in bf2 you could just as easily take someone who is using an l85/g36e using your m16/ak101 - the difference being guns like the 185 had a sight so you could kill people at basically sniper range. thwe point being is that in order to kill others in bc2, you need a good gun otherwise you will get slaughtered (as proven by your use of the m16 over any of the other assault guns).

the m60 is powerful yes, but it takes more bullets to kill someone then any 40mmgl. all i was saying is that i dont get why 'you cant use it' - its a simple point and click gun just like rest of them.

it seems like they're nerfing it soon anyway.

Granted bf2 was different and yes I used medic only but with bc2 it reflects differently, you get your unlocks much faster than bf2 so people cam start being m60 fans soon enough, the ability to heal may not be as much of a benefit but don't tell me a squad of m60 whores will beat a squad of m16 whores. I've also seen pleanty of high ranks using the xm8 because of it being full auto, I wouldn't say it takes much longer between getting the m16 on assault to the m60 as a medic. And you managed to kill people at the same range with the m16 as I could with the l85 so although the scope was a benefit, it wasn't a noob addition. I don't know why I can't use it well yet but maybe it'll take time, I've adjusted to the assault class so much and I have much less fun being a medic as other people have shifted the other way.

i'll agree with K about a good squad and medic class

about the only two times I've played with 5, its often just me and him actually playing as a squad, both medics, and both usually the top 2 scores on the server


wouldn't even need necessarily 2 more medics... just 2 more guys who stuck with us always and we'd be getting even better scores i'm sure

Well you may be right about getting higher scores but I don't really care for that, all I ever want is a k/d ratio above 1. People have been going on about squad play for ages now and I try but its harder to stay as a squad in comparison to bf2, as with the gun debate above the game works differently. You're also talking town infantry only fan boy so at the sight of a tank I run away to a different flag and find someone I can have an equal fight with. I miss karkand

i think you'll find that with both 5 and me being medics, we aren't exactly trying to take on tanks either..

and tbh dude yes the game is different but there isn't really any reason you can't stick together as a squad. unless the squad specifically leaves you behind..
5 and i, for the most part have been running around, getting in to a fire fight, raise the fallen, and wait 2 secs or so to get our bearings, and then run off again. once everyone is dead it shouldnt take you more then those 2 seconds to locate your squad mates and keep up. they are always on your radar!
shit, PR had NO radar, not even a map screen that had your squad mates on that.. and we managed to always stick together..

i think the real problem with this is, 6, that you have always been known to not stick with your squad too well.. even back in bf2! you've definitely always had a bit of a case of tunnel vision when you play.... ^^

hehe maybe so, but I am trying harder to play with a more team based effort. However I'm not going to stop going on my rambo missions because sometimes its good to break away from everyone and slow the pace down a bit.

id say this game is way easier to stick with your squad then bf2

likewise raile is the only person ive found who is a squad player, i find that when playing with him/as a squad you naturally get a better k/d (which youve said is the most important to you) because we rev each other thus meaning you die less....

imo thats the way this game is meant to be played and its certainly how i get most enjoyment out of it

Well I still dislike playing medic atm, and although you say its easier to stick with your squad on bc2 I find the problem is knowing where the fire is coming from to find suitable cover. It was much easier to spot people on bf2 because of the poor gfx in comparison to bc2 so you knew where the shots were coming from and could keep an eye on your squad more easily (sound fx also add to this problem in bc2). Being solo just works more for me, but I don't go solo all the time.

Correct me if I am wrong, but even if you get revived in BC2 it still counts as a death, it just means you get the ticket value back. So if that's the case you don't get a better k/d from reviving each other, just a better chance of your team winning.

keep in mind 6 that as you learn the maps more, you'll be able to keep up better too. remember that by the end of bf2, everyone knew karkand so well it was pretty much impossible to lose your squad unless you were trying to.

oh and realise too that you can play assault and stick with me and 5.. you don't HAVE to be medic. as I said though I think you need atleast 2 medics to be a really effective squad. and as you have done for me a few times, you pick up my kit and rev me.
that said, you should still get good at the medic guns, because there is nothing wrong with them at all, you just aren't used to them. likewise i need to learn the assault kit better. and when we both do then you can play assault and we can swap as we need to when you have to rev me...

interesting.. i dont know if that's the case, but it would explain some things if it was..

i'm pretty sure jaffa is correct

6 usually revives me in the middle of a cross fire so i can get gunned down again

rofl, stop dying on me so I wont have to pick you up with your kit then

its probably best to finish ur drink and get a fresh one before running across the map to engage in combat. otherwise you may find urself almost there and needing a new drink. and by the time you return from getting ur fresh full drink from the fridge your already dead and have to start back at the other end of the field.
just a heads up for those who do this like i did a few times last night
