In the Alpha holding space did actually let you deploy faster - this was changed in the Beta and seemingly the only advantage is it lets you skip the kill cam, while obviously not getting revived. I hope they go back to the Alpha implementation since Medics never revive.

I revived. First, you have to ask to be revived. Everyone is just "what the gently caress killed me" and watching the kill notification to press Q. Second, even if you see a friend, you know he's a friend, and he dies right in front of you, he probably mashes space so I die trying to inject a not-revivable jerk.

Why the gently caress isn't "revive me" auto flagged and an opt-out system?

People in my goddamn squad, on discord with me, two feet away, getting me killed because they died, said out loud "I died" and didn't let me loving revive them.

Game is loving infuriating in its design choices sometimes.

If it defaulted to "here's a corpse to revive" icons, and holding space made them go away, I wouldn't have tried to revive all those people assuming they were revivable because nobody flags themselves as requesting a medic.

You can still revive them, Q just gives you a visual indicator. Depending on how they were killed (explosives, possibly headshots and if they've already been revived already) then they can't be revived.

It's a really dumb system. I don't really understand why they felt the need to make it like that.

If when you "dumb system" you are referring to the criteria for revivability then I disagree, it's good.

What lie? I brought the issue to light, and rather than refute anything, the immediate response was to tell me to 'stop being a bitch' (which is another problem in itself, but one thing at a time) and, well, make more rape jokes. Very classy.

No, the dumb system is the complete lack of visual indication unless the dead guy happens to press a button (which they never press), which leads to getting shot in the face while you stand over a corpse ineffectually jabbing a needle into it. Bodies that can be revived should be highlighted to a medic automatically, just like they've done in pretty much ever other Battlefield game that has had the medic class.

Overall the UI design in this game is not great, which is bizarre to me when they've had like 10 games to iron this poo poo out yet they continually feel the need to tinker with things and create problems that didn't exist before.

I can see the logic. A lot of people don't want to be revived where they died because they are afraid (often correctly) that they'll just be killed again right away. In previous games it was often annoying to be revived by point-hungry medics when you didn't want to be. It was also a common griefer tactic to revive-kill someone in a cycle.

Players can adapt. They will learn "I will not be revived if I do not press the button", and quite possibly many of them don't want to be anyway. As the medic I would suggest simply limiting yourself to people who show they want to be revived.

I used to flag my corpse for medics a lot, but it got loving irritating seeing like, 4 medics within 15 metres of me and nobody ever even attempting a revive. It seemed like 99% of medics were just using the class for the weapons and not actually medicing at all :shrug:

Just rename medic class to sharpshooter and then it will be reflective of how it's played. They just get DMRs to the sniper's bolt action.

If I did that I'd never get any revives. Not pressing Q doesn't prevent you from being revived, it just doesn't do the callout to the medic. I'm still bringing people back to life against their will in this game, but it's one of several design choices that actively reduce teamwork and contribute to the whole "conquest = team deathmatch" feeling.
