Yes, usually most people play as medic, but there are usually one or two guys who switch between medic and assault depending on the situation, if you watch the team HOT CPL video, you'll see that on mash DEP appears to use assault exclusively. So its obviously useful in many situationsI don't clan, but I bet clans use almost nothing but medics in IO games because it's the most effective way to get the job done (the job being capturing flags and killing the enemy more than they kill you).
Yea.. im sure this has been said on here.. but EVERY class/thing will get bashed if you own with it... I mean.. A guy goes 80 and 0 in a jet = JET WHORE ... a guy who likes flying around in chopper healing their gunner will be called a MEDIC WHORE.... a guy who lays a few claymores a game = CLAYMORE WHORE.... oh man my buddy was even called an ENGINEER whore for laying mines at the refinary every round... But really, Anybody who calls anyone an anything whore on bf2 is simply a NOOB.. (With the exception of Unlock whores..I like my m16/ak47 )

ok i will tell you exactly why the kit is bashed because it is someone trying to get in your head so your worrying about what he says rather than killing him and obviously its worked exceptionally well cause it doesnt just end after that round is over here you are worrying about it out side of the game man really you will always have people bashing this kit and have the ones that cry....Medic whore Jet whore Tank Whore Noob tube its all bullshit man just to get in your head and affect your game play most of the time it is some KID who is having a a little fit just ignore the comments and have some fun with it kill the shit out of him and + Tea bagging they will eventually mouth of enough to get kicked or leave which will let you go back to doing your own thing
Oh so all of the guys I play with are obviously padders who can't play the game properly and only get good results because, after hundreds of hours of gameplay, they think playing medic is the most effective way to get the job done . Silly me. I must be an idiot too since I apparently cannot discern between skill and just playing medic.Djbrown wrote:

Tellingly enough, when I play with good infantry players they almost always choose medic.
your basing that off k/d's now arent you. all stat SPM / KDR padders play medic, hence when you see 8+ KDR's you think theyre actually good infantry players. Good infantry players can use all the kits equally as effective, ESPECIALLY assault if they were any good at the game minus the medpacks
No, no they can't. Why? Simple: The game isn't balanced. They can use the kit to its full potential, but many kits are either too strong or too weak. Look back at the history of BF2 and, during each different phase when any given kit was the most effective due to some feature that hadn't yet been nerfed, you'll see the C4 chucking brigade, the noob tube brigade, the medic whore brigade etc. People go with what works. If Dice patches the game again, there may well be another shift towards a different kit depending on the changes.Good infantry players can use all the kits equally as effective
Medics revive their buddies, self-heal and can capture and defend objectives better by doing so. The KDR is neither here nor there in terms of measuring skill, I agree. However, there is a big save in terms of ticket bleed and, obviously if you can save your squad leader in a good position (or indeed any of your squad when capturing a flag) then you're going to make a more effective team. I'm not arguing that playing medic makes you a more skilled player or anything of the like. I'm simply saying that the medic is generally a more useful and effective kit to choose because the kit has better overall abilities.
I reckon a good infantry player is someone who can get medals on maps he/she plays regularly, go on a completely new map (Special Forces) and after a few rounds STILL get medals.
Also someone who uses different kits for different situations.
E.G. I love using Engineer at the start of Karkand as USMC, up to Square, then I play Medic, then near Factory, Warehouse I use Assault for the GL.

Why would anyone bash assault it rocks once i taken out an entire MEC team by using a combo of M203 and M16! After using it for a while i can do long range GLing out of 5 shots i can hit abt 3 @least. Plus Tube whoring was designed to counter Medic Revive whoring .... IMAGINE while many medics are reviving u shoot a GL to them & it hits..........

I don't like assault. Its basically medic without the health ability. I don't mind the kit, its not bad. Just kinda boring. Being on the front lines is pretty sweet. but then the armor rolls in, and you can do nothing.
I don't really suck at Assault, its just kinda boring to me. Plus, no one likes flash bangs. They are one of the cheapest things in the game.
Its stupid of me, but I play with a little respect to the idea that we're all playing to have fun.

who bashes the assault kit? they just need better smoke grenades. im mean why the FUCK can you be blinded by a flash bang for longer than a smoke grenade lasts . the smoke should spread 2-3 times as much and should last for ~30 seconds. It should at the very least be like the smoke that armor can use.

Assault class is okay if you use rifle AND gp, but if you go around only using the gp and shooting the feet its retarded
OK, in the process of making an Assault Vid, may take a while to get footage good enough for you picky bastards, but it will come.
