Hey friends. Are many of you medics dying while you have reached 99.9999% completion of a revive. It is a huge issue in BFV and I have played bf3,4,1, and V every day since their respective launches. The challenge is great but I feel that the revive time needs to be a maximum of 0.5 seconds for dedicated medics. A small tweak would basically retain many of us dedicated medics.
Thanks,
Ender
yeah, defib was instantaneous… needle should be same.
Yeah, 1 medic who instant brings his 3 friends up! thats what we really need.
Nope. Nothing worse than the revive trains we used to have. If you want to revive you better be damn sure it’s safe.
If you’re a medic then it’s already pretty quick. You just need to revive “smarter” sometimes - for example if someone dies out in the open then leave them to respawn.
I honestly think this is an awesome solution to revive what we got currently… you pick up your buddies Card from the box and take it to the revive station…
Ohh wait…
some people eh?
1 instant then normal after while instant is on cd there you go.
or make instant jab 1 use replenish like other stuff at station.
Completely disagree with OP. No more medic trains plz. Go play BF3\4 plz if you like this mess
It’s not fun to wipe out a squad to only be rewarded with one of their medics bringing all of them back to life in a fraction of a second, while you get into cover for a moment to reload. Reviving should be if you have the area covered in smoke, or it’s safe enough to openly revive a teammate.
I’m amazed how often someone tries to revive me out in the open without smokes. Medic can carry 2 smoke grenades and 3 smoke rifle grenades. USE THEM. No need for insta revives when you make yourself some cover.
It seems like DICE has given up on the drag downed comrades feature, that would have helped
I thought that was going to be a release day feature.
Guess I’m not the I Ly one who thought wrong.
As someone who mains Medic, I can’t say I’ve experienced this at all. If the area isn’t secure and/or you have no smoke or friendly support, you shouldn’t be attempting a revive in the first place.
We don’t need revive trains. We don’t need people instantly revived over and over and over.
What we need are medics who understand that attempting to revive in the middle of crossfire is a recipe for disaster. Smoke the area. Clear the area. Mark the downed player to let them know you’re coming and just wait for a second to see if the area clears out. Stop trying to rambo revive, and your problem is fixed.
Thanks guys great points. I smoke, mark my revives every single time, and then only attempt the revive but literally 100% of my deaths are still during a revive. I have thousands of hours in. I just feel that this, although it makes great sense, encourages people to be an “i’ll skip you because it’s too dangerous “ medic. Dedicated medics like me find hose kind of players very frustrating. They are 1M away from you but hey won’t revive you yet there is no real threat around. Did you notice that there is still the old bf3 bf4 volumetric fog bug where turning your settings to low will easily allow you to see through smoke for the most part. You know the repercussions. Thanks guys your responses were much appreciated.i just was hoping to encourage more people other than experienced veterans by a small tweak to hopefully let them enjoy being medic. I love it and in my case perhaps it’s a good thing as I can’t have a 30:1 kd all the time anymore haha.
Great community and great forums. Long time reader and finally joined in.
In case you like music montages for battlefield I have produced a ton on youtube.
All the best,

Seems you expecting the “medic” to be 100% efficient and 100% succesfull. This wont happen ever not realistic to happen.
As everyone pointed out and you do see yourself, there are a lot of variables in revive situations.
The best way for you to stay alive during revive is helping squad members. I imagine these situations like in the movies. The medic goes down, helping the wounded, while two three other guys standing around, lieing near, sniping for enemy movement. If they would attack the medic, they should be spotted by friends, and kill them before the medic get shot.
In BFV however, you mostly doing the revive alone, and it is just logical for the enemy to shoot you down prior the succesfull revive. It would be stupid not to.
And if you change your point of view, and you would play the other side, you would do the same.
Working as intended I would say.
I saw a video of bf1 of someone getting shot by a tank shell, launching them 20 ft in the air and then a medic revive them before their body hit the ground. Medic revive trains needed to go.
I agree regarding the number of times the revive is just about to complete. I think it could be a little quicker but not back to old bf style.
The time reviving takes if you’re a medic should be reduced by 20%
People seems to think it’s either a long revive or it’s medic trains. It’s not.
A cooldown would be fine. No medic trains. But no constant frustrating deaths from long revives.
There was supposed to be an ability to drag a corpse to safety. Didn’t happen. Now revives get you killed and no one wants to be a medic.
