    probably been suggested a million times... But it would make a nice upgrade/skill for the PR servers to be able to use your first aid whilst still running about. it's anoying when you've got a tank on your tail and you're b&w and you don't have time to stop.

    I've personally never seen this suggestion before, so maybe not a million times... :P

    It's really a debatable topic.

    For my part, you don't just run around while putting your bandages on (I know we can recharge our weapon on ladders and all that, I don't find it logical either).
    I find it a bit too surreal if we could happily run around healing ourselves, I mean we've already got the pills and adrenaline shot for emergencies, and upgrades for those to give us more hp when we use them.

    It's the price you pay for wanting to heal yourself completely and go back in the green zone of your health... If you're black and white, the more spice it adds to your needing to be healed, and you better find a safe spot ASAP to avoid your one way ticket to a spectator's seat in the audience...

    It's an idea, but it just doesn't seem right to me

    you can heal yourself (help yourself up) with the med-kit whilst crawling.. you can help yourself up whilst hanging off the side of a building using your med-kit.. the amount of surreal things going on is pretty high already.

    maybe it would be a good thing to offer to low level players, which then gets taken away once you get to a certain level. or something that only come into effect when there's less than a certain number of survivors left alive (because that team is getting their ass kicked and they need extra help)

    haha well, if you're crawling, you can see it as being tangled up and you had to let go of the medkit.
    When hanging, you can imagine you're dropping the medkit to lose some of the extra weight to pull yourself up.

    Using the medkits when you're incapped is offering you a second chance in the game... healing while running just makes things a lot easier... however putting a level restriction does change stuff, but well you know my opinion now :P

    MEV, getting b&w and dying is part of the game lol, we're already lucky to get more lives before turning b&w as we level up.

    Personally, any abilities involving med kit or revival is sound.. no improvement is needed.

    anyway, u can already revive while incapped when moving forward.. so thats already helpful..

    if survivors can heal while running, it will only make the game more advantegous to be survivors.. charger, hunter and especially smoker can't capture them... as they running like mad to saferoom while healing at the same time..

    This to me just seems like a cheat and takes away some of point of being on low heath
    not to mention thats its unfair to the SI team, the Survivors already have loads of chances
    and ways of cheating death, so adding this IMHO is just going to Unbalance the game.
    Sure there are a few unreal things in this game, ie. "Killing SI by using a Medi-Pack" ** being
    the one that make the least sense, but with out them you would be playing near as
    dam it 'Realism Mode' but these things can only go so far

    The only way I can see for this idea to work is to, when running just take the Pain Pills
    out of the Medi-Pack Use the Pills and then dump the rest of the Pack. This would give
    you the Instant-Effect you want but only Heal you as much as the Pillz normally would.

    You would loose the full effect of a Medi-Kit but can now move normaly for a while.
    To be honest, Im not even sure if this would be a good idea as im thinking that even this
    would just be as Unbalancing as moving and getting a full heal.

    ** Could this not be changed so the SI does not die but is stunned for 5-10 seconds
    which in most cases would end up with the SI being killed in any case, as I cant help
    but feel this is very unfair to the SI.

    I think 4 is enough, if we add more it's gonna be impossible to kill somebody. Besides you can use your medkit which should reset it again.

    About the using medkit while running, I would like the idea if there were no pills or adrenaline, but you can use those while running so I see no point in making heal by medkit possible why running.
