Well you can do what I did many times.

When I was a dead engi next my goal I wait for a medic and DONT respawn; shout for medic every 30sec and count the time :-)

3mins, 5 mins, the whole map. When I am gibbed after a long wait I change class, then my team isn`t worth the life of an engi.

I noticed that the majority are {AR} members too! Oh well your only as good as your XP I suppose. I would like to see Engy as the only class to have Flak jacket ie: change class, lose flak. Engy's need flaks not Meds, Meds have drugs (adren) so to have flak too is just greedy.

  From a Rambo's perspective (from years of experience, as this is also an issue in ETPro) healing others is an inconvenience, which those players (the medics) are, in my opinion, the worst of the "Rambo" genre.  Sometimes a Medic may walk by an injured without realizing it, it happens alot.  Other times, a Medic will want to revive someone, but cant kill all enemies surrounding the team-mate, in which case you can't really blame the medic, cause if they can't kill the enemies, someone with half their hp won't survive much longer.  The worst feeling is when a Medic DOES try to heal someone else, but that person taps out a second before that medic heals them, and gets killed in the process.

You will never escape the Rambo medic in any mod, Jaymod, ETPub, Shrubet, ETPro, NoQuarter, etc.

Frankly, I heal in ETPro, but not nearly as much as I would in ETPub, because you can't depend on the other medics to heal you soon as you die.  They'd rather kill more than heal, you know how that is.

Anyways, I'll keep this topic in mind when I pop into the servers every now and then...

  Of course the original basis of the Medic is to heal, but if you are a great shooter, have a flak jacket, adrenaline, so level 4 in just about everything.  If you had all those options after playing all day, can you really say "You dirty Rambo, I'd never frag only and never stray away from the team."  when you have the option of having fun and fragging instead of being stuck in base only seeing action when someone dies.

In all honesty, fragging sounds alot more fun....

my opinion, when i see a chance i kill instead of revive, and when enemy is dead i wake him up..but most ppl dont want wait so long, so im angry too, because when i put out needle and try to revive then they tap out!

i have nothing won , when they kill me and after revive the other, so when enemy is near..fight fight fight after fight revive!

or 2nd, im half dead and see a chance that revived person will survive , i revive first(i die and he has my med too, that would help)

3. i dont understand why meds dont tap out when someone is near them in a fight, they tap first out when enemy has killed teammember..but then his med wont help..hehe

  Rambo medics are always gonna be around, there won't be a difference if you take away rewards, public ETPro servers prove that...

Yup, yup and yuppers

There's an other option used in another server i visit now and then: medics cant use their medipacs on themself! It works. When you choose to be a medic it pretty much means that you are there to heal your team.

Also MZ, would be nice to actualy play on our ETpro server now and then..instead of jumping around like a bunch of headless baboons.
