Re: "Healing beams" for the Medic/Engi

Dont forget man that shields regenerate aswell, so a medic is basically doing half the job. And staying alive and standing still dont go hand in hand with modern day shooters, and PS2 seems to be as move heavy as any.
Also i think statistically medic is the least desirable class to play, yes i enjoy playing it aswell. But stats dont lie, and anything to keep a medic in the fray and making them feel part of the combat is integral. Rather than having them sitting in a corner with band aids wondering whats happening on the front, like in PS1.
I know what youre saying tho, a beam is a little cheaty. Most game changing healing mechanic in an FPS is probably FARCRY2, but that was to enhance the feeling of a survivalist badass rambo type figure.
Best idea i can think of is maybe to do a revive you have to pop a medic scan mode and directly heal the area that killed them. But thats shit. haha
