Title: Alien Medics
Post by: animal310 on July 12, 2014, 10:37:05 pm

Would be nice to see that when the alien bleeding option is on the Alien Medics can heal their comrades of fatal wounds.

Yes, that would be a nice touch. Besides, it gives the player more Video Game Cruelty Potential (https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/VideoGameCrueltyPotential). :D

I suspect that alien Medics are more like doctor Mengele. They'd probably just observe the dying alien or do some sort of sick experiments on them.

One of the coolest parts of Battle: Los Angeles was a battle scene where one of the alien invaders was dragging a comrade back to cover. I thought is was a nice touch that really added something to the movie for me. I'd think it would be cool to see a sectoid die to reaction fire trying to save an ally.

Maybe they could also revive stunned aliens as well.

Yeah. "Medics" carry stun launchers, because they are the ones who do experiments on humans. Thats why Alien Abduction missions are done only by floaters and sectoids - its because those are the only races with medics.
