Question for those who played the Bad Company 2 Beta

[CaptainCalvin]

How exactly does the health system work this time around? It looks like your standard regenerative fare, but then what's the point of the medkits that i've seen?

 

[hazabaza1]

I think it's something like near death regenerates you to not near death, but low health, or the med kits just speed it up.

Don't quote me on that, though.

Im pretty sure you don't regen health which is why you can drop med kits to heal people up.

You do regenerate health to full. Health regen takes a while though, so that's what the Med-packs are for.

It should take longer, or not have any health regen at all

it takes about a minute, IE quite awhile longer than the screen clears..
...though i;d like to see that fixed.
and this is from a BC1 player used to fighting in a red tint for being at 5hp for the better part of a base.

I just did. What you gonna do about it?

OT: well, I'm guessing that it'll do what this guy says, the first one.

OH YOU SON OF A-
But yeah, that's what I can remember hearing about it somewhere. I dunno, my cousin has the beta, I should ask him when I get the chance.

It was a ***** in the first one because medics never healed people. This way med-packs can be useful, because it's a slow regen but not necessary because it's still regen. Best of both worlds. There's still de-fibs as well, which do get some use now.

 

[MetalMachine]

from what I have seen the health packs only serve to save you from enar death, that or they do nothing at all and are just used so that the medic can be a point whore, but dont quote me on that.

Seriously, dont quote me bad things will happen

You slowly regenerate health, but not quickly enough for it to help you if you're in a firefight. Medkits just speed up the process.

This is fact, by the way.

 

[Pekkipang]

There is health regeneration, but it is ridiculously slow. Medkits speed it up.

What he said i guess.

I havent noticed any health-regen, so if there is. Its insanely slow.
Tho the screen "clears" from blood/dirt very slow.

Normal mode:
health regenerates at a slow rate, med kit rapidly accelerates this to about 15-20% per second from observation.

the most important part is that the med kit regenerates you to full in a few seconds, normally that will take quite some time, and running around without full health in normal mode means you die instantly from a single bolt action sniper round to anywhere in your body.

Hardcore mode:
you regenerate so slow it's practically non existent, you might as well not regenerate.

in this mode med kit is about the only way to return back to combat effective status after being shot, and since u go down in 2-3 bullets from many weapons going without medics in a team is effectively suicide.

So, make sure you know which mode you are playing on... if that's too hard for you, hint: check the server name.
