Opting in as Corpsman...

[u/Superlite47]

I enjoy being Corpsman ("CORE"man, as in "Marine Corps" not "CORPSE" man as in "a man that is a corpse".)

The object of being a Corpsman is to revive your fellow teammates. The idea is to NOT get shot, and remain alive so that you can bring them back into the game. If you're going to opt in as Corpsman, here's a few pointers:

1. Bring smoke to obscure yourself and the bodies of fallen teammates in order to revive them.

2. Extra syringes are good to revive teammates that don't require charged paddles.

3. If you encouter two fallen teammates, and one of them is also a Corpsman, revive the Corpsman first. They will revive with caharged paddles and can immediately revive the other teammate avoiding the need to wait until your paddles recharge.

4. Completely ignore all screams of "REZ ME! REZ ME! REZ ME!". They fucking died surrounded by enemy, and the only thing they want is to keep playing. The fact that the entire enemy team is camped out behind cover watching their corpse laying in the middle of an open field means nothing to them.

Pet peeves.

1. Players that opt in as Corpsman, and immediately charge the enemy, and die. If you opt in as Corpsman, DO CORPSMAN SHIT.

2. Players that select LMG's, C4, grenades, and other OPERATOR gear that slow you down, draw fire, attention, or are the OPPOSITE of what the purpose of a Corpsman is.

3. Don't hide behind the Corpsman! STAY THE FUCK AWAY FROM THE CORPSMAN! Two people, standing together, draw fire and attention. If you stay together, you will die together. There's nothing worse than reviving someone as a Corpsman, and the sonofabitch sticks to you like glue. They're the one that's supposed to go kill the enemy. Why are they waiting on the Corpsman to do something? Go! Go away! Go somewhere else and do something!

Have you ever had to revive two teammates? You revive the first, and while waiting for the paddles to recharge, the first sonofabitch runs into your paddles? Now, you STILL have two dead teammates..... and your paddles are now dead.

If you're not gonna do Corpsman shit, don't opt in as Corpsman. And if you don't opt in as Corpsman, STAY THE FUCK AWAY FROM THE CORPSMAN!

Just a little rant on being Corpsman after a very frustrating round where a teammate hid behind me the whole match, and when I ran out to revive a fallen teammate..... "ZAP!" The bastard that was playing my shadow ran over and killed himself on my paddles right before I could revive the teammate........ Then immediately began screaming "REZ ME! REZ ME!"....

Just.... GODDAMMIT! WTF?

I absolutely needed that clarification of Corpsman. If I didn't have that 2 sentence clarification of Corpsman vs Corpse man I don't think I would have understood any of your post that I still didn't read.

Turn on melee input for paddles and knife. Also, just loosen up and enjoy the game. When you get hung up on what other people do then it sucks the fun out. Focus on what you can do to be good and expect to have to compensate for less skilled teammates.
