I didn't say medics were useless, but if I insinuated that let me clarify:
a team of 3 or 4 juggernauts chasing you (heroes, any other mode it's obviously faster) even a medic won't last long. so imagine everyone else, even Leon or Lone Wolf who can take more bullet damage. I'm entirely speaking in terms of heroes because that's what I mostly play... me and my friends have never had trouble finding anybody, so the surviellance abilities aren't needed. I can see how beneficial it can be in other modes as sneaking up on other players to get the drop on them is entirely possible.

Also, been running behind cover and wearing off that super soldier with the smaurai edge. been working out so far much better than i thought, so thank you :)

I also got that fallen idol trophy rather quickly. You need to let other players weaken each hero a bit, then you finish them off the grenade launcher with super soldier/gunz a blazin. Btw, out of all the characters, Carlos has 3 viable and fun abilities at his disposal. Other characters are lucky to have one ie: Jill's stickys, or Nick's fragmentation mines.
