A better clarification is ticket loss occurs at the point where you cannot be revived after dying. So if you get killed in a vehicle, ticket loss occurs instantly even though the the timer just starts. You also get situations like getting run over, death by arty, and suiciding where the body disappears soon afterwards and that would be a ticket loss.

semi relevant bump.

Though 2 medics are not in the scenario anymore, but being able to get directions on where to move and and having suppressing fire put down if need be for you to move is worthwhile. However, maybe its just me but I've seen some be able to sprint after being revived, alas i can never do that and have to hope and pray i don't get shot again.

Its worth bumping, common problem in the game I'd say. Second only to medics walking past people needing a revive

If the victim is black screen they can still throw smoke which personally I'd appreciate most of the time. If it was deadly ground previously chances are smoke can only help.
Other stuff might be to drop an ammo bag since a good medic can run out of revives

Squaddies can throw patches on a guy needing a revive, to mark it, to help heal and get him moving and also to move the legs of the body out of an obstruction or whatever

best thing about pr is there rarely times that some thought doesnt help improve the odds a bit

I've gotten better lately at paying attention to the shadowy figures hovering about me as I get revived and following the one I think is the medic to his hidey-hole.

+1 to pancho. Randy, i swear to god, you must be scouring the forums for threads to necropost!

one of the reasons I love mumble is that you can give specific instructions to teh wounded.

"When I revive you, follow me/Head NW"

"Don't stare at me!!! Cover the door!"

etc

as an SL I treat a downed squad member as a minimission :P once on bi ming we were withdrawing (i.e. running) from Communications since the next flag was neutral, one of us was taken down, so we all fixed bayonets and charged back with various warcries. But we got suppressed, but we were so near our comrade, we were saying on mumble "We Won't Leave You Behind!!"

Eventually fought our way to him, revived and ran, won the round as well

Too right.
Some of the best medics give the person who they revived/going to revive, directions on where to go. For example:
"Go east after I've revived you, keep prone, and I'll tell you when to stop."
This greatly improves safety for the person being revived, as you are telling them to go to a point where they'll be covered from the point they were killed. If you're reving a blue guy, you could type it out, or just hope. Or get mumble.

Note :I'm not copying the below/above post. I posted this only after seeing the initial thread-post. So don't get your knickers in a knot.

I think this is a bit to open ended to properly discuss. Every revive is unique, the parameters change. Theres never going to be a perfect revive formula. Sometimes you have to move, sometimes you dont. Sometimes you need to use your patch aswel as the medic to get it done fast, sometimes you need to get up and bloody leg it.

The positional audio of mumble is also fun to use in finding the wounded bodies, even when the wounded are in your squad.
The medic and the wounded can play "Marco Polo" or "Hot/Cold" in the process of locating bodies.

Ivan_the_bad · 08-10-2009, 11:57 AM

Main thing to remember is you have 5min to revive some one!

At one point my squad got ambushed and every one got killed, luckly i was the only one left alive coughing and bleeding, i rushed for the medic kit and hid. 4 minutes later after the enemy left i ran down and revived the squad.

Time is your friend use it wisely!

Or, you can taunt an enemy medic into teabagging your corpse, while your squadmate sneaks up, guns him down, then steals his kit to revive you!
