I loved to be medic because i am pretty good in staying alive and reveving my teammates when they get pinned done! After taking the enemy out first i went over to them to revive but since patch v1.2 i cannot get my shockpaddles work properly! They just let me completely down and get my mates and myself most of the time killed! Therefor i have decided that i will not use the medickit anymore till EA/DICE or whoever fixed this highly annoying error! Till that time i just will be sniper!
Wow - I played medic today for the first time since 1.2 and saw the same thing. I just thought I had bad aim!
i kno i hate it. 1.2 screwd the zappers
It's a bug, i've had this happen too since 1.2. Hopefully its addressed in the 1.21 patch
I don't think its a bug. If you look at the bottom right corner when you have your paddles out, the "ammunition count" is a solid bar, and the boxy bars below is the recharge time. If you keep using your paddles, the "ammo bar" will keep going down at a pretty fast rate, when you run out of "ammo," your paddles won't recharge, which is probably the problem you are experiencing, so just wait for your "ammo" to come back up, and don't use shock paddles like crazy.

I've noticed this to. After three tries the guy didn't wake up and I got killed... The paddles were supposed to be improved in 1.2, not messed up
It is something EA/Dice implemented to eliminate stat padding with the medic kit, where by having someone constantly killing you and a team mate never stops reviving etc...
although they could still time it and get away with it they would only make i would say a third as many points...

They should have modified the point system, so you only get points for reviving the same person a certain number of times per time period. As in, if you revive the same guy more than 3 times in 2 minutes you dont get points for him any more. I find it really annoying when i pull my paddles out and they dont work because ive thrown a couple medpacks.
I dont have a problem usually with reviving, although they did screw it up for normal game play.
TRY THIS: I typically go prone, wait a second the zap them. If your standing or do it right away, you'll miss the first time.
