The whole idea behind the clone soldiers is that they are disposable assets. If the medic sees that they needed elsewhere more than you need them, then I can't really blame them for leaving you behind. Then again, maybe they are just not good team players. But a blanket penalty woudn't be fair to those who are doing their job properly.
For the record, I'm not a medic. Hell, I carry injectors on my Assault suit and use them whenever I can. Not sure why someone would spec into a Logistics suit and not do the same.
You're the kind of assault guy that, I as a logistics specialist, like. I don't like this expectation that it's entirely up to us to revive, repair, supply ammo, and everything else. Plus, if I go down, it's nice to have someone else to bring me back up. I can't support my team if I'm dead. Since most assault can use nano hives, that means they can use nanite injectors too (same skill). Hell, just bring the militia one.
I don't make enough money or SP to wear any suits other than militia ones at this point, so I only get the two slots. I have to pick which two items I bring, and every other suit but prototype has only three slots. Also, early on, when players should specialize with their SP, it's hard to train up remote repair and nanocircuitry. If I knew that a decent number of assaults and scouts carried injectors, I'd focus on getting my remote repair up first.
In other words, a logistics person has to pick what gear to bring and which skills to train up for. It's entirely possible for them to specialize in things other than nanite injectors. So just because a logistics guy doesn't revive you, don't assume he's a moron who doesn't care about teamwork--as long as he's doing something else to support the team. If he's just playing as a less effective assault, on the other hand, then by all means assume he's a moron.
Of course, most of the time now I'm playing with randoms. Once the game launches, I hopefully will be playing with the same people a lot and we'll plan our loadouts as a squad so that we can support each other and so forth. |
