Ok, so we all know adv medics need some love, it's one of the least certed abilities in the game IIRC, so heres my idea.
The biggest problem is when you die, you have no idea if there's a medic nearby, if he really cares about rezing you, or if he even thinks it's possible. So, when you die, a message should pop up on the screen telling you who the closest medic is, how far away they are, and where you are in line. This would float above the release button until you release and update continually.
Then, on the medics screen, a message pops up saying so and so has died, and a number appears on the map at his position. Each medic would cap out at maybe four people in line and then it would go to the next closest medic
Now, under the medics map (default of course) a little list would show the patients name, number and distance. When a medic gets a new patient, he can send one of three prebound messages to the new corpse, possibly bound to his numpad. He can customize them, but presumably most peoples would go something along the lines of
1. I'll be right there, don't release
2. I'll never make it, just release
3. It could take a while, your call on releasing
Some more minor tweaks would be to up the efficency for adv medics and bump the rez requirements down to 20 instead of 25, er medic stuff.
Questions, comments, flames?
