When reviving goes bad

EinZweiDie · 28-11-2009, 10:27 PM

Something should be done about it, like an option after you've been killed

X "can be revived"
O "cannot be revived"

Don't you just hate when stupid medic brings you up right under the fire and gets you both killed? Seriously sometimes it is better just die and chose different spawn location.

o-_FidoFido_-o · 28-11-2009, 10:30 PM

Or when you suicide and the medic is determined to keep you alive. Maybe they think you're being generous and you want to let them stat pad?

LOL, best part is that you have ZERO idea of when it is going to happen.... all the sudden ZAP! and you are like what the? Where am I ? Where are the bad guys? BANG, dead again.

Maybe the medic should be able to drag you into a building then revive you.

EinZweiDie · 28-11-2009, 10:37 PM

Killzone 2 has a good system. You either chose to stay semi-dead longer for a chance to get revived (but you can see what is going on around your dead body so you know if there is a medic)

or you chose to die and respawn quicker but this counts as death to your stats.

I say fair trade. Also the medic can see who are still semi-alive and who is dead clearly.

KylieDog · 28-11-2009, 10:44 PM

I suggested this, some medics complained if they make the effort to run over in front of an enemy tank canon to revive you it would suck if they found out they couldn't...

Honestly.

That would work for me.... the main issue is that I have no idea what is happening when I get "Reborn" if I could still survey the area it would be much better.

Personally, I could go for slowing down the revival process and adding to the respawn time a bit. Sometimes when I'm fighting a squad of medics I have to put down the controller so I can facepalm, and then I lose.

Being able to move people before reviving them would be even better, but probably not going to happen.

Not with current killcam you can't. I would suggest DICE to buy a copy of Killzone2 for educational purposes and play few matches in multiplayer. It is far from the quality of BFBC but it has some good design solutions which are not copyrighted by the way.

if both of u are stuck in a wall/rock like BFBC1 glitch, reviving ur suicide would be the funniest thing EVER.

It has happened.

Goddamn Rose.

And goddamn "helpful squadmate" who I get stuck 3 bases back with.

Verbal_Arts · 28-11-2009, 11:04 PM

Thanks for taking my idea from another thread

But yea, once your dead you should be able to press a button that will stop Medics being able to use the defibrillator on you. It should also display an icon over the dead body so the Medic knows if they are able to be revived or not, so they don't waste time getting the defib out and wondering why it isn't working.

Lol that happened to me on the 2nd set of crates in the city. I got stuck between a tree and a wall and I couldn't move. So I committed suicide and then someone revived me. I was like hey thanks and then I figured I couldn't move at all still... It was funny.... and dumb...

A man should be given the right to die whenever he want to

You should consider moving to Switzerland.

Honestly.

Remove the flashing icon for people who have chosen to bleed out. Problem solved.

spacefox00 · 29-11-2009, 12:19 AM

Heh, sometimes I have mixed feelings about what to think when I'm revived right in front of a tank.

-Should I be mad at the guy because I was revived and just died again..?
-Or should I be honored and grateful that he would risk his life just to try and save me?

Usually I go with #1.

Techincally you still only died once.

But he did waste a lot of your time...

Doesn't being revived still count as a death towards you?

It counts as only one death in the stat's then? I mean, technically, to be "revived" you would have to be dead...

It surely counts as two, if not, does the person who killed you the first time lose his kill???

Yeah, I'm pretty sure if you die, and get revived, it's still a death for you. Which would be why I'd pick #1. If I get killed by a tank and then get revived in front of it, and killed right away, that's 2 deaths right thar.

Are you sure? I assumed it didn't count as a death.

Pretty sure. Like 80% sure.

Anybody know?

Splatish · 29-11-2009, 12:34 AM

Does not count as death. Also, I pick up medics kits if they die and rev them. Good or bad?

So if it doesn't count as a death, do I get the kill points if I was the shooter? Doesn't make sense to get points for slaying but not for being slayed.
