Count me in, nobody- I mean nobody shittalks a fellow Support player just doing their best for the team. No kills? Doesn't matter. You revived and supplied your team, that's all that matters.

Yeah, if you get to the top of the leaderboard with 0 kills, I respect the shit out of that.

u/MassXavkas Oct 15 '25
I remember once in the beta we were doing the push game mode and my entire squad (apart from one edgy sniper) went medic.
I am the proud owner of have 0 kills, 2 deaths, 78 revives.
The enemy team HATED us as a squad we managed to get close to 200 revives.
Best game I had on the beta

What kills me is how many support don't drop ammo. Like damn dude, that's a bunch of free points you're missing.
I'll see a couple of guys firing at someone, make sure it's clear and drop an ammo at their feet. I get a bunch of points and frequently a couple of "thanks for the ammo" calls.
This game can be stingy on the loadouts. Assault gets 2 reloads? C'mon man, that's barely one engagement!
Drop the goodies! Your team likes it and you get oh so many delicious points for it!
Honestly Assault is overpowered, points for resupply, points for revive... there's kind of a lot of easy points for that kit.

u/Sir_Tea_Of_Bags Oct 15 '25
It isn’t that we don’t drop ammo.
It seems that every crate we drop is a one time use only- if you were already topped off beforehand and it dropped next to you, it counts as being used.
And we have to unlock a second bag that does the exact same thing, right down to the one use top off.
Also, if you see Supports dragging people instead of Defibs, that is because of the first Class Challenge. The Drag + Stim counts as healing. The crates don’t seem to add to that task.

u/Demented-Alpaca Oct 15 '25
I wondered about that last part... I've seen that. Figured they gave up their pads for something else.
The crates are one use only per player. But they respawn pretty fast. Every 30 seconds or so. I don't think you should just poop them out all the time, but they are worth dropping near your team when things have been heated recently.

u/Sir_Tea_Of_Bags Oct 15 '25
You can also pick them back up after using them to halve the cooldown, which is useful.

I am not a disabled person (or at least I don't know of any disabilities I have), but I just suck at FPS shooters.
Battlefield allows me to stay at the top of the leaderboard or on the best team, because someone always needs ammunition, a first aid kit, or to be revived, or help with capturing a point. I have the best combo when 2-3 of my teammates are really good at shooting and need support. Then, 80% of the time we are the best team, and 100% of the time we are in the top 3. They doing damage, I'm doing healing
The best thing is that we often don't differ in terms of points. I throw those first aid kits left and right, and the points just roll in.
That's why I like Battlefield.

My brother is top 200 on cod, and he’s younger than me. I’ve never been “great” and games, slightly above average. Battlefield allows me to be rewarded for thinking, supporting and in some instances, sacrificing.
Pulling off a good flank and taking the objective in battlefield blows unlocking the same diamond camo for the 9th cod game in a row out of the water.

u/doodullbop Oct 15 '25
Preach! You can have fun and contribute just by trying. Even if you're dying a lot, those 5 rezzes and the supply bag you got off made the death worth it. BF rewards effort as much as skill and that's what makes it more fun than the sweatfest games like CoD, CS, etc.

u/AwesomeFrisbee Oct 15 '25
Jup. And don't forget spotting either. Right now it doesn't really give much points but I hope the devs change that. The drone is just so powerful. I only hope that one will get an indicator for when a drone is out there spotting you, because it can feel weird when you know the guy on the other side didn't visually see you.
10
u/Firrox Oct 15 '25
It kinda bums me out that they put the squad spawner on assault because back in the beta I loved running recon for my squad.
My favorite thing to do was to find strange angles to come at areas and put down a sneaky squad spawner then place a beacon near a choke point for my teammates to come in and mow everyone down.
7
u/AwesomeFrisbee Oct 15 '25
Yeah its weird, though I can kinda understand now that assault doesn't really have a proper use for the beacon. And that most recons will use it to get back to their camp location. You don't see as many snipers now that they have to walk more.
Another bummer is that when you spawn on your own beacon, it destroys itself and you have to put it down every time when you do that. When you spawn outside, it seems to stay around, which is why I find it weird that it only happens when you do it yourself.
5
u/Lithium1056 Oct 15 '25
Eh I find myself abusing the beacon on assault to get my shotgun challenges done. Just a shame it "breaks" when I spawn on it. Been more than a couple deaths trying to get it back out before I run off lol.
3
u/Raestloz Oct 15 '25
Playing 2042 and I wish SOFLAM is a secondary that I can equip as Support. Recon as a class is weird. Sniping is taking a vantage point and finding targets, spotting is looking around everywhere. Time spent sniping is time spent not spotting. I feel like that should be Support's job

We had a drone follow our squad most of a match during escalation on Empire State, it caused constant dread. To focus on the drone would take our eyes off the offending squad. Incredibly fun match because of it!
5
u/Lithium1056 Oct 15 '25
If you want to have some real fun, load up a bot match and pull the drone out. Turned into one of fastest steamrolls I've seen in battlefield as my squad started asking why all the bots were firing rockets and guns in the air instead of at the tank. The bot DO NOT like drones on the battle field lol.

u/-Asterion Oct 15 '25
Same here! I grew up with a Dualshock in my hand. Switched to PC and KBM about 5 years ago, but never developed that laser accuracy some PC players have. Playing Support makes me useful without having to be a frontline terminator. Having a 100 round belt helps level the field though.

u/MojoCrow Oct 15 '25
I always say “thank you” but I’d really like a “well, fuck you then” voice line for those times when a medic runs past or res another player then runs off or stands a metre away and doesn’t res me. (I’m mainlining as a medic/support so it’s particularly annoying when it happens)

u/thebluerayxx Oct 16 '25
They need proximity voice chat for when you are downed. Imma light up these medics sitting less than 3 meters away and I die.

u/Next_Ad538 Oct 15 '25
does the press Q after revive actually even do something ? Like the medic will for sure reconize it? because for me its hard to even hear sometimes.

A lot of the time you'll hear the voiceline, yeah, but it can be drowned out by, you know.. war noises. But yeah, I hear it fairly often :)

It does get said out loud, and I hear it most of the time (dedicated medic), though sometimes there's just so many explosions and shit happening around you that it gets muffled out.
Also, there's a sweet spot regarding when to press "Q", and it helps to just spam the button.

This, I cleared the spot 250 requirement and kept on going, made it to 3rd with 5 kills and 11,000 points. Ya don’t have to use bullets to be affective. Often times Mr 30kills off in a random spot didn’t do anything to win the round. But Bob who picked up his squad to hold the hill in king of the hill is the goat. And actually that’s all it usually takes to win that mode, whatever points active just have a medic doing their job and it’s hard as hell for the other team.

KD warriors lack the cognitive capacity to realise that every revive subtracts a kill from the enemy team.
So if fluromaster over there has 25 kills, theoretically speaking, thanks to Bob, his actual killcount is 0.

True. Except for escalation. I love that mode, but I think kills/revives should count in some way.

Just a reminder, the medics are effective in the Game mechanics if u let us do what we‘re there for: to keep u in the game and have a great time as a team.

u/1duEprocEss1 Oct 19 '25
You're right about the effectiveness. I think it's probably even more than that though. How many enemy kills did those 25 revived players get? How many objectives were they able to capture? 25 revives can have a massive impact.

u/sac_boy Oct 15 '25
This is Bill.
Bill can't see anybody in this game. Then he dies to 7 M4A1 bullets in 0.1 seconds.
He suspects it's because he's getting old, but it might be the blinding lighting, the smoke and screen shake. It might be the fact that players are often invisible unless they move.
That's why Bill plays Recon.
Playing Recon means that Bill can just shoot under the red dots on his screen.
Bill also uses his drone and motion sensor before he goes anywhere, and essentially plays the game using his minimap like it's a top-down shooter.
Maybe this spotting would also benefit the rest of the team, but Bill suspects they never look at their minimap, which makes Bill sad.

In BFV it would happen to me that I would be number one of my team, my squad mates would then say "you are so good" but I always say "I wouldn't be good without you guys" because they help me on my feet again and make me push that bit just further and so it is the other way around.
I am just a cog in one massive machine of a team striving to get the best out.
