BF4 Update: Suppression now stops healing

Post by cancel_man »

This change was introduced with Final Stand and I never noticed:

phpBB [video]


Wanted to post it in case anyone else missed the memo. It makes suppression super effective- keep laying down fire and the guys you're attacking can't top off their health.

I get the idea behind it but it plays like crap. imo medic bags should not heal when getting shot and heal slowly when suppressed

Try playing Locker now. Airburst is like 75% more effective.

This.
I think I'm gonna switch out the bag for the pack... heals much faster and on the move.
This isn't the signature you are looking for.

Still not sure whether to switch. As he said in the video the big bag helps heal multiple people.
My only reason for staying with the big bag before was that it basically heals you while you're in a firefight and was constant, while the little bag jumps in tens and gets canceled easily while on the move.
Both bags still get canceled when being shot at now.
