i hope they bring the rose back.... not so much thinking that it "dumbed" it down with just the Q key....
more the fact that it doesn't always work... say you need ammo, you need ot look around until you see some with ammo, and then aim at them, then spam Q til it hopefully registers.... and even then it may not work or they may not notice.
where as if you have the rose, you can select to say NEED AMMO! or MEDIC! without having to scour the landscape for the appropriate personnel. and that it lets all applicable soldiers know that you are in need.
so i think it would actually be quicker with the rose, and give a greater chance of someone dropping you supplies.
when i'm running about as a medic i'm always looking out for the medic symbols when people are in need. even if they haven't requested it. it's the purpose to keep them alive so as medic i spend more time just running about throwing packs down for people. but when i need a medic i find that most people are just ignorant!
chasing a medic for about 20-30m spamming Q and screaming MEDIC at him and doesn't bat an eyelid... start shooting him in the back though... then he drops a medic pack
