I
t’s fine, OK. It’s fine.
It’s just... let’s not
forget it was you who
initiated. “Request
medic.” You said that.
You requested health, so I placed a
medical crate. And sure, I’ll admit
that it wasn’t a wholly altruistic act.
I was trying to complete Battlefield
V’s Tides of War objective to heal
400 points of damage with crates.
This was a marriage of
convenience. You needed health. I
needed someone to heal.
And then you ran past my health
crate, and what? Died? Was that your
plan? I don’t think that was your
plan, but it’s what happened. I’m not
going to revive you. There was a
medical crate right next to you, and
you charged past it and now you’re
dead. I don’t blame you, per se, but if
there was such a thing as objective
blame, I think you’d have to admit
that some of it is yours.
But it’s fine. This is a confusing
war. The rules aren’t consistent. If
you run over a dead enemy soldier
you will automatically pick up their
ammo. If a medic throws you a
bandage you will automatically be
healed. But crates don’t work thatPHIL SAVAGE
THIS MONTH
Forgave you.
ALSO PLAYED
Destiny 2,
Two Poin t H os p it alway. You have to actively pick up the
bandages. You have to press a button.
Who’s got that kind of time? Other
than people who don’t want to wait
to respawn after they get themselves
killed. Sorry. That was uncalled for.
Maybe I’m to blame for carrying
the crate. I mean, it gives you full
health and a bandage that you can
use later. That sounds useful. But the
fact that neither you nor any other
player on this map has used one,
maybe I should’ve known better.
That’s fine. I was wrong for trying.I do not blame you for not being healed by me in BATTLEFIELD V.
