Medic bags

Balfa

Is there a time limit on how long a dropped health pack lasts before the server deletes?
Or is there a maximum number of packs each medic can drop before the server starts replacing the oldest ones with the newest ones you're dropping?

I went on a health packing spree, hiding them in bushes and behind walls all over the map, only to realise that when I turned around to admire my work, all the old ones had vanished

Okay wait a second.......

You went around a server (online?) dropping medic bags for... no particualr reason? Hmm and i thought i did dumbass things

You can only ever have 5 of X deployed. X being a special thing you're class can deploy, be it med packs, ammo bags, mines, claymores*, c4 etc.

They are also libnked to your kit bag, so, assuming they aren't replaced or used, they will last as long as your kit bag does.

Hence it makes it impossible to dump ten thousand med packs behind a wall and shooting tanks to death over the course of ten minutes with a pistol while anti tank shells seem to hop off you.

*You can only carry 2 claymores, but can have 5 deployed if you get ammo

Maybe you do do dumbass things, but i was dropping medic bags for a particular reason.

Y'know.
To heal people?

And thanks very much for the very detailed info, Zillah. What'd you do, write the game??

Aw, totally!

What you do is, you become a sniper, ok? Start a squad and wait until you have a full squad. Then, go to a roof top, and deploy claymores all over the gaff. With me so far? Ok, then, give your squad an order that will get them all killed. Hell, you could ask for artillery to hit them. Right?

So, once they all spawn on you, join the other team, and watch the claymores go off!!!

Mwuahaha...

(For the absolute freaking record, I doubt this would work very well and it only occured to me now;))

Nevermind, I misunderstood. Oh well, its too evil a trick to exist.
