@tF-voodoochild: On your account "ShockPaddies" you've used grenades and knives, not just paddles.

Anyways, I think medics are the most valuable players on the battlefield. Not only can they properly defeat the enemy, but they provide healing and reviving. There's nothing worse than getting killed in battle and then having to hoof it back to the battle from the spawn. And isn't it just the greatest feeling getting your health back up to 100% after ninnying around, trying to avoid getting your last bar taken away? There are, however, many people who are medics simply for their own reasons. They'll camp in some obscure spot and only heal themselves, even though there may be 20 teammates laying dead in need of revival 3 steps away. If you're a medic, don't do that! It's annoying, But, basically, what I'm trying to say is, be nice to medics, they're friendly and out there for you!

I consider myself to be reasonably intelligent when it comes to making decisions on the battlefield. I try not to run under friendly tanks, and I don't punish them when I do. I throw medpacks at people when they need them. I try and kill enemies before reviving someone. However, on occasion I will revive people into dangerous situations, either because I cannot do anything about the danger and I think they can, or because having as many people alive as possible is generally a good thing.

Yesterday, while I was playing Songhua Stalemate, I was part of a large infantry push into north island. I happened to revive my squadmate while an APC was laying waste to everyone around us. Immediately after dying again he screamed something to the effect of "stop fucking reviving me you fucking medics FUUUUUCK!!!1" over the microphone. Come on. What is the downside to being revived and dying? You don't get a death on your record (until you actually die), and you might be able to help. I managed to avoid being shot by the APC, perhaps if he had been a little quicker on the uptake he would have moved and not died again. This is not the only time Ive had this experience. A while back on Sharqi I revived a colonel into a firefight (after teamkilling him because he thought it would be a good idea to walk in front of my gun), after which we both died. Was it a good move? Perhaps not, but it could have also saved us both.

This has gotten longer than I intended, but I think I got my point across. Being revived doesn't hurt you. If you pay attention and get moving as soon as you hear the zap you stand a very good chance of surviving even the worst revives. The medic is your friend, so don't give him a hard time for doing his job.

If you have problems with being re-revived and dieing instantly try useing the "suicide" option when your dead, dont know if you lose the 2 points like when you suicide when your alive but i do know it makes you unrevivable. Ive never used this option because i always run asoon as i get revied and if anyone dies its usally the medic reviving me 80% time... and if its safe ill turn round and revive him back.

unless the turret of an armor is faceing you or someone has already thrown a grenade at the body, you will always have enough time to stand up and start moving, if this is the case your harder to it and should be able to make it to cover before you die (city maps only).
