So the MEC, being the smart little middle easterners they are, start throwing grenades in there and racking up kills. Suddenly 2 very noobie medics (both privates) run in there like bats out of hell going crazy with the shock paddles. the MEC notice this and open up again, so once again, we all die. Our medics then come back and do it again, only to have the same thing happen to us. After screaming at them DON'T HEAL IN THE MIDDLE OF A GRENADE BARRAGE!!! they learn their lesson. But is my story over? oh no, my friends. Later on we had the same situation occur, this time in the warehouse. just as it starts up, who stroll in there and start popping people with their shock paddles? you guessed it. Now I remember why I didn't play BF2 for a while. I don't mind being healed and have done the same thing before also, but DAMN, at least I knew when to heal and when not to heal. Heal during cover fire, not in the middle of a freaking bullet/grenade/artillary/tank barrage.

I bet you never tapped the mouse button and called for a medic right? I hate it when people complain about medics. Medic players are some of the few players that are actually team players. Think about it, they revive you, get you back in the game. Those guys sounded ready and willing. I would be glad to be revived by them, not complaining. What if no one ever revived you? I bet you would be much worse off. Also, I hardly never die when I am revived, I usually get up and run, I don't lay on the ground and wait to get shot. You should be ready to be revived and ready to move to cover.
Sometimes you have to look at other points of view too. Maybe those medics saw you and others rushing the flag to take a stratigic position. They saw you go down and rushed to the flag to revive you because bodies on the flag get the flag captured. If you take the flag and die, at least the enemy can't spawn and lose some situational awareness as they move to take the flag back. You can spawn and move in to defend. Those guys did their job, even if they didn't do it very well, they still did it. BattleField 2 has enough people that don't do their job. You shouldn't complain about the ones that do or else they may just stop.
