Right, that's obvious. This game is flawed though. Most matches this isn't a problem, but you can only do so much for a team as a squad. I shouldn't have to run the engineer class just to have some sort of defense against tanks while the other 8 people on the team snipe. Sometimes even working as a squad of four engineers it's hard to deal with tanks because of the other 8 people on the team you have to carry. It is insanely easy to be the top squad in this game.

At the beginning, yes the Medic was broken. Now the Medic is just fine. It never had the highest damage or close to it... people just prayed and sprayed i.e. more bullets = faster kill. The pray and spray method doesn't work as well any more. Accuracy is down too. Cons include ZERO defense against vehicles, short range tough to run with; long range gimped now, outfit makes them stand out.
The medic is still broken. Even in Vietnam, the RPK is king. There's really no reason to use anything else. It does have the highest damage still, even if it is tied with some assault rifles. Spraying and praying has nothing to do with it. I can single shot an M60 and kill someone in 3 bullets across the map. That's broken. I never have a problem short range. Outfit makes them stand out? I can't say that they are any different from the engineer or assault in that regard.

Granted this is all moot as other classes work way better. From mortar strike onslaughts by four snipers (recon) to unlimited grenade tosses (assault) to a tank going all match (engineer; see any of my games)... all the classes have something crazy you can work with them. In current environment, the strongest setup is a g3 with 4x scope, which all the classes can use. Granted, I keep things fun by going down the roster on what I need to platinum instead as I with that setup is just unfair. If you are good at the game, none of this bothers you because you still will rape.
Mortar strike is a contender with 4 snipers running it, I agree, but how often does that happen? Grenades are useless in this game. I could piss on someone in real life and it would do more damage than the grenades do. I don't know about the G3 but I don't really care to use it either.

No I have not. I have played Battlefield 2 a long time ago on PC though. It was a great game but Bad Company 2 is also a great game. In Bad Company 2, I don't think I am good... I know I am good. Anyone who has played with me can attest to that. I and my squad is ALWAYS in the top 5 on our team if not in the entire match because unlike most people we work as a team and worry more about providing cover/support vs being the guy with the most kills. Again like bigdaddybruce stated, this portion has no baring on how good Bad Company 2 is.
Back to my point from earlier, this game is flawed and it is not hard to be in the top squad. Not only does nobody play this game as a squad, but you have 8 random teammates. What I mean by this is, rarely do 4 guys actually jump on in a squad together from what I've seen. Sure, people join up and let the game put them in squads, but it's mostly randoms and people with no mics. They need to make it so you can play with 12 guys if you want to and at least talk to the other team members.
