So tired of meth medics in this game. The stim continues to undermine the Battlefield-style infantry combat Forefront is aiming for. I have played BF since 1942 and never seen this issue before.

Battlefield has traditionally rewarded positioning, aim, movement, and teamwork over superhero-style abilities. In Forefront, the Stim’s speed boost, healing, and extra health compound existing issues with crouch/stand spamming, side-to-side movement, hit registration, and latency. The result is that proficient users become near bullet proof, which is ruining the gunplay.

A better approach would be to draw from past Battlefield implementations, such as BF1’s Stimulant Syringe, which gave the Medic and revived teammate a brief sprint boost activated by using it to revive, or BF2042’s limited-use Med Pen.

The Stim should be short-lived and situational, providing a modest mobility boost preferably as a byproduct of teamwork, with meaningful downtime or a specific activation trigger. It should not provide constant or even frequent extra health, speed boost and healing turning medic into selfish super soldier solo shock troops. That would preserve the Medic’s utility without creating a persistent combat advantage that players feel compelled to use every cooldown which quite frankly aside from being cheesy as, is a seriously unfun chore for anyone that is not a teenager needing a fidget spinner every 20 seconds to have fun.

So options include:

BF1: Stimulant Syringe gave the Medic + revived teammate 20% sprint speed for 8 seconds after a revive.
BF2042: Med Pen provided limited self-healing quickly, rather than unlimited healing. Needs to be replenished.
BF2042: Adrenaline Injector gave a temporary sprint/defensive boost, limited charges.
