To be a medic......
While playing medic, your main role is to support your team by reviving your team-mates before they die after the critical 15 seconds. If a team-mate dies an icon will appear on your mini-map showing the location where they died. They also have a hovering label over their body showing how far away they are. Prioritise on distance, and how recently they died. You score two points for every time you revive someone. A common belief is that you get a death count when you are revived by a medic. This is not true. You save a death point every time you're revived. The enemy still gets two points for the kill, but you don't get the death. You can kill an enemy from a couple of metres away, and you can revive your own team mate from the same distance. Always, always, go prone when you are reviving your team-mate. It's much quicker, and safer, less of you to hit when you're not standing.
You have a medic bag. Drop these at strategical points in the map so your team can pick them up, and stay in cover. Don't drop these at your own base. Common sense, you're not fighting at your flag, you're going to the enemy flag. Drop them midway. The medic bag is god's gift to the medic kit. You can heal yourself with your own medic bag. A good medic rarely dies. He hops around like crazy until he can drop his portable life healthpack and return to the fight good as new. Yeah, I support bunny hopping and dolphin diving for medics. Get past it.
An easy trick to staying alive, and capturing a flag, is to sit at a spawn point where you can capture the flag, and drop some bags around you, so you can just walk over them and immediately get health back. Like I wrote earlier, medics rarely die.
You should use your rifle to the best of your ability. Search the area where your team-mate died before reviving him, otherwise you will both die again. I died a hell of a lot by not checking my surroundings and going straight for the revive score. You get a kill, and a revive point at the same time. I can't stress enough how critical it is to use common sense as a medic. Do NOT, I repeat, DO NOT go straight for the revive. You will die before you get there, or you will both die. Being a medic is not all about reviving, its about staying alive, and being a walking killing machine with practically unlimited health.
