Ever since Everquest, I’ve been hooked on the healer archetype. It hasn’t changed with Battlefield 2.

I do switch it up, for variety and the needs of my squad, but I always end up going back to the Medic kit, my first love.

I know some people are particularly enamored with picking people off at a distance, or using very loud explosives to remove tanks from the playing field.

For me? It’s dropping my rifle to pull out the shock paddles, and running across the blood-stained dirt to fallen teammate, dodging mortar fire and whizzing bullets to try and bring a soldier back into the fight.
