The medic is a great fun class to play and intensely annoying for the other team. You are fast and well armed with reasonable armor, but, and here's the clincher, have decent grenades. You are basically an attacking force to be reckoned with.
Your primary role scould be to get the enemy flag / key. With your hand grenades you should be able to take out two sentries in a run - if you have no grenades left you can always use your
use your super nailgun.
With your super shotgun and high speed you can also take out pretty well anybody quickly while avoiding returned fire. If this gets to be too much hassle you can use a conc grenade to concuss them so you can get in or out relatively easily. If even this seems like too much hassle, you have the ability to conc jump. This is an exceptionally useful skill and can render average defences relatively useless. I won't go into how to do this here as, to bo honest, I rarely play medic so don't have the experiance to explain how to do it. There are a number of sites dedicated to this so have a look at the links on Planetfortress. Conc jumping increases your effectiveness by many times so I reall would have a look at learning how to do this. I say that through gritted teeth as I HATE it as, when I am playing def in a public server and things are relatively disorganised then a medic or two can get in and out as if the def does not exist, leaving me bleating about how unfair conc jumping is :-). Learn it and prepare to be console abused. The final thing to remember when playing as a medic is your medikit / bioweapon. You can infect enemies by using this on them - if they're not healed by another medic they will die any you'll get a kill nice and easily. With any luck they'll be a newbie and they'll rush around in a panic infecting their team mates and giving you loads of kills. This is very useful in spreading panic in their base though this is a very secondary form of attack - forget the spam aspect of it, just use it when you need it. You also have a responsibility to heal your team mates. If they are low on health you can bump up their health with a medikit. If they are infected, it is YOUR responsibility to cure them. They will likely call "medic" and a red cross will appear above their heads. If they don't, you can see they're infected by little drops of blood dropping off them and pain sounds every few seconds. If you see an infected team mate, you really should heal them. A nice incentive is that you know get a kill point if you cure them. Don't ignore them - do your job and you'll get your reward in points and the gratitute of your team mates. |
