How to call for Medic or Engineer?

JonFrey · 03-23-2004, 02:30 PM

In BF1942, it was F6 then F5 if I recall correctly. I spent as long as I could trying to find the radio commands to call for an engineer but I couldn't no matter what. Can someone enlighten me?

Well, theres no need for calling for a medic now, since either there is none, or all classes have a medkit (Spec-Ops).

But your right about the engineer. I´m missing a call for him aswell, although I have the extended command menu.

PS: I´d prefer the vanilla BF command menu. The new one just plain old sucks. 3 buttons to spott something...

Dick is right, the new radio command is messed up. now theres a new level for bf fans to remember. i like the old bf1942's command. its simple and it applies faster. im so used to bf1942's command now im simply ignoring the radio command.

There should be an option to cut down you radio commands to the regular bf setup or keep the new setup. They need to make things options instead of bringing something in or taking something out, that way everyone gets what they want instead of leaving people out of their opinion because they arnt with the majority. Ive seen too many games lose my interest because the majority wanted something that many others didnt.

i have the extended commands list, once you get use to it its easy, i can hit the buttons i want in a flash just like on BF42, just remember people this is not BF42, you guys complain about it being too similar to BF42 and then you complain that other parts arnt the same as BF42
although an engineer command would be nice, dont need a medic though

EDIT***

accidently wrote cant instead of can

Where its similar is the gameplay. Not much has changed in that respect. Its still just capping flags. How about some objectives? Maybe escort a group of vehicles through a map, from one end to the other. You have to get a certain percentage through. Convoy, few trucks etc. Would make things more interresting.

They had no reason to change the radio menu. There is nothing new to call for, so why not just have the same commands? If your going to change something at least make it better.

the extended radio list is a lot better
