I'm also really helping they have more abilities than just healing and rezzing. I'd love to see them play the Medic as a buffer also, a guy that can heal friendlies but also give them temporary boosts and such.

Nice to see some media with backstory come out of this. I too am wondering how long it takes to fully heal someone who's been injured to ~10% health. Testing will have to be done so you can't just healing someone who's being shot at and keep him alive for very long ala TF2. 4 or 5 seconds sounds right to me but we'll see come beta.

Can't wait for more info to come out =D

P.S. Guess who everyones favorite target on the battlefield is gonna be :P

As a RL medic, then you should know that yes, yes you can.

Huh, so that's what those are for. Besides giving validity to doctors on the TV commercials I mean. They ain't certified unless they got the stethoscope.

Are you speaking from experience?

when i still was a rl medic and did medical care at concerts, we didn´t use stethoscopes. we replaced them by 4 D-cell maglites. could do almost the same as the stethoscope, even faster!

i wonder why the nc medic shows the swiss flag ;-)
is it really even of concern in a videogame, that the red cross is a protected symbol so they had to reverse it?

I must sadly admit that after just beating Mass Effect 3 and seeing the wonderful armor/weapons/art, the Medic and other classes look comparatively blank, plain, and gross.

What, low level armor looks plain and gross? Did you whine about your level 1 grey suit in planetside 1?

They won't see as much customized gear in the shop if the free, low level stuff looks bad ass.

Anyone else feel like the comm-link kept saying the same thing about the Medic over and over again?

After an intense firefight, when the dust settles, every squad and every soldier simply wants to be alive. And if they are, they probably have their Combat Medic to thank. Every class is capable of putting enemies in the grave, but the Combat Medic is the only one that can pull them back out. Yes, their rifle is capable of dropping enemies efficiently. Yes, their versatility on the battlefield is infamous. But, it is their powerful healing tools and abilities that define them. The Combat Medic’s role is to keep their soldiers alive and their empire at full fighting strength. Since a single Combat Medic can make all the difference between holding the line and falling in slaughter, they’re an integral member of any squad.

The Combat Medic’s handheld medical applicator provides them with the primary means to make a squad of wounded soldiers fit to fight again. Using a concentrated beam of nanites programmed to mend flesh and dispense coagulation agents, the medical applicator can repair even the most grievous of wounds in seconds. The latest models are even equipped with experimental Field Rebirth technology, allowing the recently dead to be brought back to life. Few others can rival the power and potential of the Combat Medic on the frontlines, saving lives.

Beyond healing, Combat Medics can do a ton more than just squad support. Though they’re defined by their ability to help others, their customizable rifle establishes them as a force in their own right on the battlefield. They can help themselves. Through the use of specialized loadouts and kits, the Combat Medic can become all the more versatile, ready and able to bring whatever is needed to any combat situation.

A skilled Combat Medic can hold their own in a firefight and keep their squadmates alive.

Somehow I think the respirator mask from the original conecpt made the medic look different from the Light Asssault class.

I'm not Photoshop pro, but:



Also bare arms for him would look awesome.

medics are really the backbone of any infantry attack. think of all the base assaults and tower drops with people dropping and the medic in the back picking people up.

I used to think and still do that the medic should be the best shooters in your outfit, because the longer they stay standing, the better chance you have of getting your squad rezzed around you.

It managed to say a lot without really saying anything, didn't it?

Sorry if I came off as harsh, I am tired of repeating this so many times. I mean, it's entirely possible all the armor they make in store or not will suck, but I'd assume these are underwhelming because they are low level and so they can sell cooler stuff.
