See a medic running on the other team going to revive his teammate do you hold your fire and wait til he revives? Or just shoot down the medic and not get the extra kill.

Yeah, thats right. Even better though can be not killing the medic at all. Wait for the revive, shoot the guy being revived, let him get revived again... and so on. Good if you are hidden and there is no chance of the medic coming after you. Unintentional kidnapping ftw

depends on the situation. if im taking other fire or if the medic knows where i am, ill just gun him down. if im well hidden or in a safe spot ill go for it.

I always let medics live, it makes them think they're great thus continuing the pretence that medics rock, when in fact they just give us more people to kill, and I get to kill the poor fucks they revive, time and time and time again (usually after I killed them in the first place) it's like legal stat padding.

If it moves, kill it. And NOBODY revives my kill, dammit.

Although I tend to pick on the isolated types, myself. I stay away from large firefights unless I'm AT; way too much fire going around and too much chance of teamkilling accidentally.
If I'm going long-range, a clip is usually good for two kills. A reload will let them get away.
Short range, too much risk of d34th.
Ultra-short range, I'm probably charging around in circles with my DAO12 reloading and firing like crazy and don't have time to check anyone's kit until I wipe out the squad and start checking kits for health and ammo.

Varies depending on the precise situation. I don't play for points, so I'll do whatever is of most tactical advantage - some times, if they're an inexperienced medic, it is tactically more advantagous to only ever kill the non-medic - keeps two enemy units busy whilst you deal with other threats - at other times it is more advantagous to kill the medic before he revives - if you're surging for example and you want to overwhelm a base before they have a chance to respawn.

same here. But I go with what feels better. It's weird but I just know when it's best to shoot.

Well, I almost always throw a grenade on any dead body(s) in case a medic comes. If one does comes and revives, 2+ kills. If not, there are usually ammo bags everywhere. Unless I'm sniper, I aim at the head and just get headshot after headshot while the medic just keeps on reviving.

I take out the medic as soon as he drops, so that I can hit his head more easily. He usually gets to revive the other foo, then I drop the other unlucky sucker who thinks he's got a second chance to pwn me.

Kill the medic before revive.  The other guy will be back in 15 seconds to kill later.  No point in risking two guys getting a bead on you, or get killed by some other enemy lurking nearby while you're waiting for the medic to revive the previous victim.

Much the same reasoning for why I gun down enemies running at me with knives (instead of drawing my own knife), or risking putting away my own assault rifle to knife someone else for the "glory/ownage" of it.

I've learned one too many times that someone else is waiting nearby to do the same to me.

This is too true.  The guy with the knife invariably whines that I unfairly AK-101'd (or whatever) him to death.  Half the time I'm too busy panicking that an enemy is charging right at me to notice he doesn't have a gun in his hand.  The other half, I know that with my luck, I'll get three or four "puffs of smoke" with my knife before he hits me and kills me on his first hit.  Screw the glory, if I want the knife kill I'll have the thing in my hands prior to the battle.

I start shooting the Medic before he revives but thanks to my shitty hitreg, I only kill him after he revives, so I have to kill both anyway. Or die.

Wait until he's revived, flash them both and then knife.
