It’s coming to this game. No doubt. The plauge of clueless & selfish players not dropping aids when needed is too real & too widespread. It’s 100% a welcomed addition & only improves team play. Really. Commraderie is strong when you guys have to hug eachother in hectic situations mashing Square/B for what you need, whilst still defending eachother guns a blazing. & in Hardline you get a 25 point “Mobile Ammo/Health” reward. Along with the medbag timer being longer for Redeployment than it is BF4, it’s really just a 100% improvement. No more spammy meds & no more dieing because of worthless teammates. You also can’t grab health/ammo if the person just dropped their kit somewhere, & have to wait for their meds to ‘recharge’ (so sometimes you still get boned) Any opposition to this. It’s because you haven’t tried it yet. Or tried it enough to get used to it. edit: & I can’t spell camaraderie to save my life ---

As a medic/assault class heavy user in other BF titles, I would be ok with removing ammo or a small med pack from the dead. Not a passive activity that you can just hang out with a partner or squad and have unlimited resources - defeats team play ---

It’s because you haven’t tried it yet. Or tried it enough to get used to it. ITT: hypocrites who aren’t medics saying it’s a great idea to make medics their b\*\*\*h, saying it solves the issue of hypothetical and occasional selfish medic players, while ignoring that their solution is selfish and disregarding of all medic players. Also ITT: medic players predominantly saying this idea is a disservice to their class enjoyment. I don’t want to be a grab-bag for other players, leaving the timing of interaction up to them rather than me, the medic, and having people get in my way, rather than letting me toss a pack to them (which I can do from some pretty large distances). And so, such an option, if it exists, should be an equippable item only, separate from medkits and medpacks. “Spammy meds”… maybe DICE will take care of the spammy bullets next. ---

Speculation is all we have. All the matter of fact posts are garbage. At best all we can do is hope for this or that until we hear otherwise. Personally I would like to see med/ammo crates on each flag. Medics and Support only being able to provide minimums. Medics providing a max 25hp - 50hp med pack, revives are all 25hp. Support supplying primary and secondary ammo only. Vehicle Repair/resupply skids positioned at specific flags. ---

Medics providing a max 25hp - 50hp med pack, revives are all 25hp. Support supplying primary and secondary ammo only. Vehicle Repair/resupply skids positioned at specific flags. I’d totally argue against supplying primary and secondary ammo only. Hand grenades and M320 nades take awhile to resupply, which usually prevents them from being spammed. I think the only issue is when you have multiple ammo boxes near each other, where the cooldown for resupplying them is reduced. At least, I remember it being this way in BF3. It’s just not a good solution, imo. If there’s an issue with explosives, then they should be nerfed directly. As a player that got 1000+ kills with the M320 in BF3… not being able to resupply them would be a major buzzkill. I’d rather see a nerf to damage dealt against infantry players, the same going for grenades. As far as limiting the medic bags… I can’t really see any good reason for that outside of making the med crates more meaningful. Seems like it would just diminish the role of medics. I’d like to see ammo crates, and vehicle repair/resupply zones, though. ---

honestly I’m ok with the stealing of medic/ammo bags provided that there is criteria: 1-2 times the NEED MEDIC/NEED AMMO is needed to be used(with enough time between the 2 for the person to drop it. then a little bit after the 2nd one if they still haven’t dropped it then yeah, you can take it by all means. I just don’t want someone running up to me and taking it when they haven’t requested it yet. this is just my opinion on how it could work well anyway. (honestly I don’t know how it works in hardline I haven’t played HL at all or read anything about it either) ---

Seems like it would just diminish the role of medics. I’d like to see ammo crates, and vehicle repair/resupply zones, though. Meds and Ammo crates would be on flags, in radius. One setup per flag and everybody would know exactly where they were. Obviously with destruction they wouldn’t be in a building like 1942 or Vietnam.

The medics role doesn’t get diminished at all. Utilize the med packs to heal if caught up in a firefight in route to objectives. Med bays/crates cannot revive players.

What problem would this ultimately aid or solve? With ammo/health crates, they could offer additional incentives to stay at objectives. The nerfs to medics and support players? That’s where I’m having troubles figuring out it’s purpose. Encouraging players to stay near objectives can be done through a change in scoring. We both have similar ideas for how objective rewards should function. Diminishing the effectiveness of medic and support players just doesn’t seem to solve anything, other than increase the usefulness of crates. Crates in turn would encourage players to stay near objectives, but where does it help team play? How does nerfing the roles help team play?
