Sten for Medics

Black Adder · Post by **Black Adder** » Mon Nov 04, 2002 12:16 pm

I know this came up in another post but I would really like to know if others feel the way I do. I don't know if it would make medic to powerful but being able to switch to Sten would be great. /MP40 and /Thompson are out there so what do you say Bani?

Would it help if I said Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeease

what would a medic or engineer be doing with a silenced sten?

makes sense for scout or maybe even spy to have it. but medic/engineer?

im not trying to make you sound stupid, but... why would medics and engineers be prohibited from using the sten in ww2?

bani, tell me why then would lieutenants have stens?

not prohibited in ww2, it just seems silly to me for an engineer or medic to be carrying a silenced weapon. scout, maybe spy. but eng or med? seems as silly to me as a med carrying a venom.

med with venom = unstoppable basically. the only drawback to that would be the venom spin-up time, otherwise player could 0wn everything

but, why isnt a lt. with a sten not silly? i think a medic with a sten would be sweet. if you dont have a strong objection to meds with stens, why not put them in?

oh, and the fact that stens were not prohibited to meds in ww2 is exactly my point. if they had it in real life, why not the game also?

players already camp while idle-spinning the venom so they can defeat the spin-up time.

then there's teams who park a venom soldier in a doorway , then drop like 30 medpacks under him...

meds might have used a normal unsilenced sten, but i dont know of any meds who used a silenced sten, or any silenced weapon really. medics were not generally trained assassins.

but in real life the sten was so incredibly crappy that they would use any other weapon if given a choice.

well, we dont have an unsilencied sten, dont we? so cant we have the next best thing? this game isnt the susposed to be completly realistic! sinse when can people heal bullet wonds with a little poke of a syringe?
and also, why are you arguing with me over this so strongly? if you dont want to have medics with stens this badly, then fine. just say so.

i didnt say no yet, but lets just say i have yet to hear a convincing or persuasive argument for medics to have a sten.

convince me.

uhh... your being predigest aginst stens. they need an equal chance.

some people like using the sten. it has its own place in wolf. if you are in a duel aginst a guy with a sten and you have a mp40, you will most likely lose because the sten can fire faster and is more accurate. why should players have to switch classes to use a gun that is more effective in certian situations? dont you hate it when you die because the enemy's sten killed you before you could shoot? when used correctly, the sten can be a very valuable and deadly weapon. i think we should share the wealth and grant medics the use of it too. its unfair that medics and engiees cant make use of this weapon.

sitll not convinced? time for my secret weapon...

pleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleaseplease
pleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleaseplease?
still no? dang...
ah ha! i will bombard you with pms untill you give medics stens!!!

and then after you ban me from the forums, i will make a sten mod that will rule above all other mods!!! fear my mod!

If the medic had the sten then they wouldn't run out of smg bullets so fast. They wouldn't have to yell for ammo as much.
The engineer has to sneak up to the blow-up objective a lot of times. He could use the added stealth that the sten provides.
Besides, the sten looks like it weighs less than the other 2 smg's. It would make you feel like a faster medic or engineer. Ok, I'm reaching.

I'm pretty sure none of the SMGs add any extra weight to players.

Very few players that I see actually use the sten. Even when they are lt, they'll opt for the other two guns instead. Giving the sten to the meds and engies wouldn't be a bad thing since very few of them would be using it.
