FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS&CONCERNS
There appear to be restrictions such as a deeply specialized medic will not be able to access heavy assault weapons, and classes with jetpacks will not have access to heavier armor or weapons.

PSU Higby Lunch Interview (9/15):
• In-game rez, medics healing ray increased by progressing down class, no stimpack thing, mostly about healing and resurrecting
• Jet-troops will not be medics / engineers, agility but can get cut off

Twitter Dev Chat 9/16:
Question: Can infiltrators be medics at the same time?
TRay: Stealth and medic are two different classes
Hack: not necessarily, but we are looking at ways you can support your squad (THIS ANSWER MIGHT NOT BELONG WITH THIS QUESTION)

Question: So no heal guns for cloakers?
TRay: medics heal, cloakers hide

Question: Medical terminals?
Higby: No plans for medical terminals at the moment

Question: Is Commander or Squad leader going to be a role as such? Or are you command certs going to carry over if you play a medic?
Higby: You can be a squad leader as any class, you get some awesome passive perks and coordination tools.

Community Q&A With Higby
MgFalcon: Can you talk more about what healing abilities combat medics will have?

Higby: They'll have several, they have an ability that’s basically a shield they can put up in a radius and depending on the level of the skill it’s a larger or smaller radius that heals friendly units within in it, but also blocks incoming fire up to a certain amount of damage. So that's a passive healing thing they have so if you're about to get screwed over you can pop that thing really quick for some safety. They also have just an active heal; basically a glue gun same situation. They also have a healing grenade and we've talked about giving them a rez grenade but I'm not sure that's 100% going yet but I like that idea, throwing a grenade and everybody zombies back to life over there. Higby- There would definitely be a time on that, some of those more ability-type things have timers on them for sure.
