Battlefield 1: 9 Big Worries We Have After The Beta

8. The New Medic System

Mind-boggling, this one.

For whatever reason, DICE decided to mix-up the way in which the Medic class handles reviving downed teammates, making the whole process needlessly frustrating.

As it stands now, instead of being able to offer anyone who's spilled their brains all over the floor an instant second chance at life, dead comrades have to specifically indicate their desire to be brought back by the press of a button.

That may sound pretty inconsequential, but when you're under siege by an entire group of enemy soldiers, the last thing you want to be doing is standing there idle, like a lemon, twiddling your thumbs while fallen teammates decide whether they want to be stabbed in the arm with a medical syringe.

Just revert the system back to how it works in Battlefield 4 and 5 please, DICE.
