Revive teaks.

[gilded fog]

I hate going to revive somone that automatically hits the space bar. Maybe make them wait in their corpses for 5 seconds before the spacebar drain kicks in. Also would be cool if you used the downed teamates bandages. Also would be cool if the reviving teamate got a special marker for the rest of the match. That way you can track who you owe a revive too, and you know who to team up with. You could also put text "revived by..." at the bottom of the screen so you know who to thank. Speaking of text on screen. In night vision you get text for using a scope. It should only pop up once per map, if that.

Nope. Absolutely not. Delay timer before “give up” would be used for trolling/xp farm by bad actors.

Rest of this is just additional UI stuff that isn’t needed/would probably be better suited for medals if they still plan to go through with that.

I think the only revive tweak that should be made is stopping the bleedout when reviving a person

Its kinda annoying when you start reviving but you are off by a milisecond and they perish

If they want to quit they can still use space

And dear god dont make revives use the victims bandage

If losing a bandage over a revive bums out people that much, then have the option to make revives free but slower compared to a bandage

If you still want to revive someone without wasting a bandage now you have the option

As for the UI stuff, basically what pepega said

[keen meadow]

I had a suggestion where it simply sets the bleed out speed as the default that occurs while not holding space.

Basically if you revive while they hold space, they bleed out at the rate they would have if they did not hold space.

[lean zealot]

that is true everything else is uneeded

[viscid mortar]

Still would be abused for the reasons mentioned above

Forced mechanics that could lead to bad plays or trolling aren’t a good idea. Give up is basically the way to get out of those “bad revive” moments. User feedback (even something as simple as “X player is reviving you!” would probably be better for reducing the chances of giving up too quickly.

or just a "reject revive" button like bf3

[peak veldt]

And bf4

Could work too, provided it doesn’t lock the player being revived into the state of accepting or denying it on a loop.

Point is it should never be “forced” onto the player, let them make that decision themselves. (And communicate it well enough because lets be real nobody sees the current one in time if they’re already giving up)

[robust fulcrum]

in BF they defibed you and put you in the down but not out state (think cod downed animation) and you had no protection from enemy fire in this state. in that state you had the accept revive and reject revive button. they do exactly what you expect. rejecting would instantly put you into the spawn screen.

[viscid mortar]

Yeah that’s fine, a last “Last stand like mode” whilst deciding to die or keep fighting like BF3 works. Just don’t make it impossible to escape a die/revive loop and it will likely incentivize people to get up and keep fighting.

im stressing that point for a reason devs pls do not fumble the bag when changing up the revive mechanic

[peak veldt]

Yeah but how do you solve the issue not being in a die/revive loop

I mean you get only 1 more chance before you are gone for good

In bf4 at least

Should this also be in BBR and if not, what are the alternatives

[robust fulcrum]

if you reject the revive, you go to spawn screen, no chance to be revived. i forget if you die while in the down but not out state if you can be revived again. if you accept the revive, it acts as normal.

[peak veldt]

Iirc in bf4 if you die during the accept or deny revive part, you cant be revived again

[viscid mortar]

That could work here too. If you die during that chances are it was a bad revive or the enemy pushed up, makes sense to make people unable to be revived again with this in mind.

[urban swift]

It just put you into prone not down or anything

[robust fulcrum]

my boy thats when you accepted the revive. it was a down but not out state with your pistol.

[urban swift]

No

Have you played bf4

I was literally on two days ago I’m pretty sure I know what it looks like

[robust fulcrum]

Have you seen the third person animation? Also I was talking bf3. You could see guys in the down but not out state if they were revived.

[urban swift]

Sorry I thought you meant bf4, which doesn’t have this

[viscid mortar]

BF3 did it better imo, you had your pistol so you could still shoot someone before getting your ass up incase they were trying to camp your body
