One thing that has really been getting me of late is the reloading animation when you get revived.

Here's how it happens: You get into a gun fight, 2 on 1 against you. You kill one but run out of ammo. Your almost finished reloading but you get shot down. 10 seconds later you here "Clear, alright your good to go!" and your reloading again. Now your dead again and so is the medic. You get revived again and have to reload again. You die again. You get revived again and have to reload again. You die again. You just had a minute and a half of wasted time where you could not do anything.

I hate this game flaw. Besides the stupid medics that revive you when there is someone waiting to kill you both you have to site through the loading animation 4 times and its worse if your trying to load the nade launcher or the AT rockets. /rant.

i think the reason you die like that is because your almost always a sniper

I was told if you open the spawn point selection window thingy you can't be revived during that time.

It's very annoying when a non too savvy medic revives you when you have 0 ammo, pistol & rifle so you have to get your knife out and run around (if you can actually move without being spammmmmmmed) looking for a safe place. Spamming pgdown usually helps.

Why don't you just switch to your pistol when you run out of ammo in the middle of a firefight. Makes your chances of winning a lot better.

^^ WTF do you mean, if your aims straight you coulda taken away the most part of his health so 1 or 2 shots with the pistol will finish em off, seriously, you snipers need to get some practise in before you start charging the flags with your bolt actions.

When I play as a medic, I would not revive any one till it's safe to do so, for me or a person or a person that I'm reviving. And if I'm being revived on empty, I'm trying to not reload but seek cover, and than reload.

That spawn point selection thing doesn't work... what does work though is if you open the screen, change kits, and get revived you spawn with the new kit. Weird bug.

nope... when I am a sniper most of the time there are no medics close close enough to revive me. Pistol only does so much when your getting camped by someone with a PKM or an AK. Lately I have been playing medic and AT anyway. So Fuck off Patton.

I run out of ammo more often with the sniper kit than others, but I don't cap flags with the sniper rifle out unless I have a good vantage point, I use the pistol or better yet I steel a vehicle.

This really is about reloading over and over. If you try and switch guns you die before you get it out and then you are back to the reloading the gun you originaly died with. For me it has been while I am trying to destroy a tank with AT.

last time I checked you can't finish loading your gun while your dead. No really a glitch.

It happens more like this:

You kill the first dude
You run out of ammo
You hit the mag release button
Mag falls out
Place a new mag in
You die
Mag wasn't fully inserted the way it should be
Mag falls out of your gun as you drop it after you die
You get revived
You pick up gun and pick up mag that fell out
You try to insert the new mag a again
You die before being able to snap it into place
Lather
Rinse
Repeat

Simple way to fix this: don't play Karkand.

I hate medics like that. They aren't smart enough to kill the enemies first, then revive.

you should be able to kill more than 1 guy in a clip =]

but aye that does happen... but if it happend more than once in a row id go to my pistol... if that runs out .. i grenade and hop like a bitch for cover.

oh something pretty slick that ive managed to do is to grab the persons kit that i killed... tada new ammo... and of course it can be any kit on the ground you can get your hands on.

Heres what you do

- get revived
- immediately switch to grenades
- right click (drop on ground in front of you)
- suicide + tk on the annoying medic
- smile, enjoy the -6 and open the spawn select screen
- pray there wasnt 2 noob medics hanging around.......
