Excellent post and it raises some very important points. With the enemy ticket count hidden, each player needs to treat every ticket on their team like it is the most precious resource. Revive, revive, revive! Work together, get your fallen teammates up, and DON'T GIVE UP!

This happened on EJOD last night, I was SL on the US side, the Siren had gone off, we had 2 tickets and one of my guys went down un a difficult spot, it took me a couple trips to get him up, but when we finally got around the corner and I was healing him up, the match ended, and we had WON.. 1-0 !!!! I was amazed..

Pancho.. MEC was 1 ticket, and I decided to suicide >.< I owned our team.

Buuuut, what I forgot to mention as well, is that as a medic, Squad first, Team second.

So just because the medic isnt in your squad, he still might (and should) revive you, the blue guy. (And he probably will, if its me.)

Also, I have a pretty banner under my name now =)

Sometimes if I get mowed down with my squad and I call for a medic and see a few are near in say like muttrah city, I wait it out because I forget I have the option to give up sometimes to spawn and space out, then someone comes along and stabs me with the epipen at around 1:30.
Waiting works for the tickets.
You may right click the give up to get more medic calls.

And here I was thinking I was the only one

+rep for this great advice... I had no clue. One question though, does it change the icon on the map for the medics? Two clicks in two minutes really isn't enough and I believe you are right that not enough people know about this.

Since 0.8 I had multiple rounds with a death count of less then 2 and sometimes I even finish a round without dying a single time...

Yep, it is true. A great thing to do and it works as long as you are still "alive" but wounded. Works better in English for the USA teams though, as some people can't understand Chineese or Arabic as you are calling for help.

There is an option in the Audio Menu In-Game to hit English VO Only. It makes whatever anyone says english.

yes, but you're playing project REALITY.
Not project make everything in life easy.
I keep english only off so i get more immersion, and i can tell when enemies are close by. Just take some time listening to what they say, and try out the coms yourself.

**llPANCHOll** · 09-30-2008, 07:14 PM

I cant imagine playing in english only.. You get so many cues.. From enemy locations (SL's vocalize every time the change their move their marker) Plus people calling for ammo... If they are calling for a medic, that means the guy you just dropped probably isnt alone...

I would think if the DEV's wanted you not to push that they would have removed it from the menu like some of the other options. One of the first things I click. Say your a pilot:
1. Your flying someone somewhere.
2. The guy wants out RIGHT NOW.
3. He clicks Bail Out in the commo rose.
4. You either: Understand what he's saying and land. Or dont know what the heck he's saying and keep flying to the destination he said b4 takeoff.

Anyway I'm not going in to this. Just letting everyone know in case they decide to push it.

I play Eng Vocals because "arghashs" is REALLY HARD to understand in a jet, where as "Ive got a lock" is clear as day (Because I understand it, AND its louder.)

I kinda wont bother to learn 2 languages to play a game, not that hardcore =P (If you want PR to the max, learn the two languages, and use VOIP in them where you're that team. Is anyone ganna do this? Nope.)

Ive had a squad... if not two or three (it was all on the same principle: small (3-4)) that have had 2 deaths a piece at most. We were BEL the entire time, and took out a minimum of a third of the Caches. (I only play these squads on Ins.)
We have one medic for the squad.

Something that was mentioned in my post but hasnt been replied to: -If a medic goes down, take his kit, attempt a revive. One less ticket lost.

I don't see this enough. In fact, if my squad medic goes down, I have to ORDER people to take his kit and get him up. If nobody is around, I do it myself.

Theres two more of my cents.

I've learned all the common foreign language calls by calling for them myself all the time. I use my commo rose way more than I really should. I knew the foreign language calls back when I used to play BF2 vanilla, actually.

It's easy to learn the calls with english off.

Infantry = English Voice Off

Vehicles = English Voice On

It'll help me with infantry, becaue I'll know whether it's friendly or not.

It'll help me with vehicles, so I can listen to what people are saying.

Some good advice in this thread, especially:

"Heal yourself before others": This is the same in real-life in first aid situations(wilderness first aid anyway, which is applicable) - don't make yourself another casualty. You can't heal/revive your mates when you're dead. This also goes for not getting yourself shot/killed trying to reach the unreachable squadmate. Sometimes waiting 15-20 sec is enough for the enemy who shot your buddy to lose interest and look elsewhere.

Also, regarding comms/languages: Sometimes if I'm the last one in my squad to die (with no hope of revive, no medics anywhere near, our objective changes) and I know there are enemies around, I'll hit the "Medic" button a few times, just because a lot of people think it means there are more of you around. Keeps them looking, might buy you some time elsewhere.

With the extra time to revive, you can also really "prep" the body now, with a chest-pump to dislodge the body, and a bandage or two (if you have time/cover), once you revive, the guy is already up to half or so, and you don't need to keep holding the bag patching him up. This can sometimes work well with two medics in a squad - one can prep with bandages while the other goes for the revive.

that's an interesting (and very sensible) point of view, i never thought of it that way (seeing how i have no first aid training or anything). i just always heal myself first because i can't see what i'm doing with blood gushing from my eyeballs :P
