Implement Advanced Medic Mechanics with Drag, Bandages, and AED Revival
Split
Hey guys! Great looking pre-alpha footage just dropped the other day! Noticed the classic pads mechanism for the medic class, thought I'd drop a few medic suggestions to really make the class/game stand out from the rest:
1) One of the largest easy changes many games could incorporate into the receiving mechanics is a drag option for teammates (which is the primary strategy of moving immobile patients out of hot-zones and into cover to treat injuries in the field). This mechanic would encourage teams to utilize cover fire and work together to assist medics in revives.
2) Simple bandage mechanics would be awesome too (Pressure bandages or tourniquets around arms and legs) and more realistic for self healing and healing others over the epi-pens commonly found in shooters.
3) Instead of rubbing manual paddles as is traditional in current games for a full revival, a more realistic move might be to incorporate an AED with sticky pads and a round of hands-only CPR into the game to revive members. Mom medic Members could maintain a downed players ability to be revived by a medic by delivering hands-only CPR until a medic arrives. The time required to deliver the revive could be set by a bar over the downed player that fills as CPR is being performed and finishes with an "analyzing, shock advised" from the AED. This change would increase player immersion, make revives more rewarding and teach a cohort of gamers how to administer basic life support measures in real life. It also would require folks to utilize cover while doing these revives too making that drag mentioned earlier critical.
No other game (except perhaps ARMA III) utilizes health mechanics similar to this and it would make that class standout big-time in the VR space!
Thanks for reading and looking forward to the release!
