Health Points

[Orion126]

Is it me or are health points very difficult to accomplish? I've ran around like a moron in game with nothing but the medic hub out and haven't been able to get the 10 needed to get the silver and whatever x amount for the gold badge. Any ideas?

[Filippo]

I usually play as engineer, and getting repair points is also VERY rare...

[Deesies]

camp titan on defense or get the advanced hub so you can heal people from vehicles.

[ReaperOfsouls]

It is a challenge, I got my silver, but but not until must frustration later.

I played titan mode and just ran around the whole map, no real strategy, you just need lots of time.

As far as for the 15, thats impossible.

[FM_Echo_One]

So far..it's either been:

1) Get the 10 heals, but not the badge.
2) Don't get the 10 heals, don't get the badge.

There were moments I didn't even think I'd ever get 8 IAR for the bronze. Ah well...it'll come eventually. :D

[(Undecided)]

Yep, I've gotten 10 a few times before (titan defense). Now that I am eligible for the silver badge I can't get it though! I have gotten 9 on conquest (camp Gibraltar) but without titan rounds it's REALLY frustrating. Can't wait for the gold badge. :hmm:

[Coren]

I got 16 or 17 a few times on a 64 player gibraltar map. You *have* to have evenly skilled teams, and just run around tossing them at choke points. I got half a dozen gold and silver stars in as many rounds while spamming bullets, medkits, and defibs, just to find out I don't meet the global reqs for the gold :(.

[MasterPain]

They should make the heal points like the ressuply points... Its really easy to get ressuply points but for heal points, you need to heal ppls like a mad man just to get one! And that sucks...

[Coren]

The way I have the points figured, is that for every 100 hp you give, you get a point. This means the cries of "but I healed that guy to full!" mean jack ****. I think you also get credit for healing yourself, even if it's self-inflicted (I swear I've gotten points after jumping off of buildings). Usually I'll throw a box, then hold one near choke points. Once most people are up, back off, let your meter recharge, repeat. Like I said, I've gotten the required in-a-round stuff, but I have no clue what my time with a medical hub is, and I'm not sure how to figure it out.

[Orion126]

I finally got 10 points w/ just a couple of tickets to spare...it was good that the server wasn't full until the end...

Now I need 15 =(

[kenof2142]

I can't even get basic heal badge :hmm: .

[Orion126]

I ran around all day with the hub out...I know my K:D ratio suffered but it was finally worth it.

Best way to get any silver badge to be honest. Its just so closed in that your forced into getting points. If you dont get ATLEAST 25 global points here, your doing something wrong :)

[hobiecatter]

I'm in no way an expert on getting health points, but in my experience I've found that I get more by looking on a map for the choke points and running for them instead of running around with my hub out.

Throwing down a hub behind a corner by a choke point next to where your mates can heal racks up more points because they know where it is and come back to it. When I chase people around, they never slow down for me. Even if they have 1% health, some people don't pay attention.

But I agree, the points could be beefed up a little in my opinion.

[Raidyr]

Yeah, there really is no incentive for healing right now, while people are willing to die to get that 1 revive point. Personally, I would be happy if you got a heal point from 25-30 HP

(I usually dont play assault, medic even less)

[Daz]

Yeah it should work for over a quater and give you the point when they leave the hub.

For example, if it heals a quater of their health, and then just run off you get a point, but if they stay and heal all the way it still gives you the same.

Or maybe just accurately count how many half heals you have got. But its annoying to not get a point afterhealing almost all the health on someone.

If you are really running low on time may as well just throw a hub near a sniper and pistol him in the back twice, cacky but who cares.

[Seppuku]

Throwing down a hub behind a corner by a choke point next to where your mates can heal racks up more points because they know where it is and come back to it.

that is, if they can see it under the 14 other health boxes there :rolleyes:

[darwinsGate]

I think I'll give up on the assault class. Heal points are so hard to get, it is reasonable to conclude that they are broken. They are even harder to get than repair points. I wondered why they are so few assault players in the games. Now I know why. Very little reward for a lot of effort. Why would anyone want that?

If you define balance as all classes being used in about the same percentages, then the assault class makes the game unbalanced.

Either count all the health points and give a heal every 100 or so or lower the number needed for a heal on each use. EA is all keen on fixing the assault classes gun, when the heal point issue is a much worse problem. Who cares if you get a little boost in accuracy in burst mode? Your point totals will still suck.

[Xicer]

I got over 20 heals in a round once, on a 48 man Titan server. I got most of em from just defending the Titan. Unfortunately I didn't have the hours needed for neither the silver nor gold =(

[Anoik]

I got the gold one playing Gibraltar, while i was dead and in the last 2 seconds of the round :D

[WWW_CHUTE_COM]

its to hard.... but yeah just play alot i guess and they come with time

[Eliteic0n]

Omg all of today I attempted to get silver healing I turned off my armor and just ran to anyone with a inch of health missing never shot a bullet I have the requirements for it and I so far ive gotten 13 heals in a round didn't get it then I got 16 and still didn't get it. then I got 11 in a round also and did not get it after that I gave up and began to think of other things i could have done with 2 hours.. *goes on to pistol gold* This should be easier

You need to have 15 hours with the assault kit, not the amount of hours it says for the medic hub, it is bugged.

[Papichat]

I got the bronze and silver heal badge once while playing Camp Gilbraltar, but it never got recorded. The points for the badges got recorded though, so I'm semi-happy.

Problem there too my assualt is stuck at 9 hours

[The_Eliminator]

There is your problem then. I cant remember the way to cure this, wait for the patch i guess.

[Chasepwner]

OMG!!! Today, I worked VERY hard to get my 10 heals for the Silver Medic chips badge. I finally got it minutes before the round ended, and when I go back to BFHQ it ISN'T THERE!!! OMFGWTFBBQ!!!!1

[nosoupforyou]

hmm ive had an idea.. if i have advanced hub and im in titan, does everyone in the titan get healed?

[TWRAM]

The problem is that the hub isn't an instant heal like in bf2. No one wants to just sit in a corner waiting to be healed, I rather just die and keep playing. It doesn't help when you are following a noob around trying to heal him and he just keep running away. I have played assault a lot and still haven't been able to get even the basic heal badge.

[Svartberg]

I've finally got my silver healing badge :D
Was in Camp Giblarape, playing as the raped PAC - the team was stuck on first spawn the whole round, and i had plenty of revives and heals ...

Let's see what the next silver badge now ...

[Oleg]

You medic whores should try getting repair points - it's damn impossible, I guess to get 5-6 one should spend the whole round with repair tool running around, and dying, not to mention that it's usually much more risky ro repair stuff than to throw heal-boxes around.

[SurgeY75]

i got mine attacking a titan!

Funny i'm a medic whore, and i got both repair badges on the first tries.
Here's a tip for you - play engineer on titan guns, altenating between using them and repairing them - as long as you're not alone you should get good points.

[Beerman]

Im not even gonna try too hard lol.

[LECHIP]

Get in a titan, wait till the place gets crowded and just don't use anything else but medic hub, get close to a support guy and preferably make a squad with friends that help you making those points.

[Ized]

I think some people here are confusing the revives with heals: revives do not give heal points.

I've been trying to get that 10 heal points for the silver badge today as well and it's been really, really frustrating. I justs got two gold stars from couple of rounds of gibraltar. healing like mad, reviving + shooting. Got pile of emergency rescue pins, but nothing for the heals. grrr.

There has to be something wrong with the heal points, because they are SO difficult to get.

[MenacingVitamin]

I wondered why they are so few assault players in the games.

Hahahahaha

[HybridNinja]

yah, its reall hard to get even ten heals, repairs i get easily, just repair all the guns on the titan.

[Critikal]

Yeah i got it once before (the silver that is).. RIGHT before the round ended and it said i got the badge, and i got the 500 pts... but it never counted it and now dont have the badge, and i still cant get it again :rolleyes:

[jasnth]

can we get the dev to notice this during the next patch?
anyway, reviving pple while risking your neck out in the crossfire is really not worth 1 point nowadays

Reviving will not get you this badge. This thread is talking about healing. They are not the same thing.

[Mograine]

I need 15 Heals IAR and I tell you....it sucks. At choke points you throw down your medhub and....BOOM, a nade just killed 4 of your guys. 4 revives but meh :( That won't bring me closer to my gold badge :(

[firescout555]

may be this might works if you join a squad and help your squad buddies???
got my brown badge this way...

[Mograine]

Meh whos talking about Bronze? I've got silver. I want gold and I#ve got the global reqs but I can't seem to get 15 Heals. Doesn't matter if you open a Squad or not. The thing with healing is: It takes a lot of healthpoints to get one point. To heal someone it requires them to be injured and mostly it forces you to stay at one spot. On an assault it sucks to stay on one point. Often enough someone is hurt and you start to heal him and he gets shot anyways. Then you can revive him so he starts with 100 health again. At choke points most people die by grenade spam. Hard to heal someone there cause they die anyways :(
Most of the time when someone is hurt I select my medhub and...he runs away. Or I throw down my medhub and...he runs away. And running away doesn't even have to be a stupid thing. Changing your position after a kill is often a lifesaver.
At choke points there are like 3 or 4 medhubs on the ground and well...you don't get many points then.
It somehow sucks that your team has to suffer in an almost lethal way to accomplish this badge. Resupply just requires someone to fire some shots and to reload.

[kenof2142]

It's been this way even with bf2....it takes a lot more to get heals then resupplies, hell, even repairs in 2142 are easy.

[Relmar]

I got the bronze and silver medic badges in the same round on a 48 player Camp Gibraltar server. A good tip to remember is you can technically have 2 hubs out at the same time. Throw your first hub in a cluster of troops then when you can, pull out a second one, but don't throw it, just hold on to it and move from soldier to soldier. Move your one on the ground as necessary and rinse/repeat. Recon and Support will love you.


And if you're really desperate....shoot the other guy's medic hub when he's not looking. But you didn't hear that from me :p :laugh:

[hirschce]

team up with a support guy, stay far enough back in titan corridor so nade will maim support guy but not kill. support guy throws an ammo hub on floor, u throw a med one. spam nades at entrance, they spam nades through entrance, this takes off support health, but u bring it back, and if he is getting low he can go behind the wall, heal to 100 and ocme back out.
